Achieving Big Savings in Corporate Computing Within the UK Public Sector

LONDON, October 27, 2010 - Diskeeper Corporation Europe announced today that V-Locity(TM) 2.0
virtual platform disk optimiser increases corporate computing and strengthen
the IT virtualisation market in the UK by providing cost effective and
"greener" IT within the Public Sector. A recent article entitled "Executives
from VMware claim the UK is one of the top adopters when it comes to
virtualisation technology," written by Jennifer Scott of IT Pro suggests that
the UK is leading the market by adopting virtualisation technology. The full
article can be found here on the IT PRO website: UK leads Europe in
virtualisation adoption | IT PRO (
www.itpro.co.uk/627661/uk-leads-europe-in-virtualisation-adoption).

With the recent budget announcements in the UK Public Sector, solutions
like Virtualisation stand to gain even more ground within the current
economy. V-Locity 2.0 has been designed specifically for virtual environments
and makes Windows systems faster, more reliable, more energy efficient and
longer lived, all of which are key issues within the current economy.

V-locity 2.0 is designed to deliver invisible background optimisation of
all Windows(R) Guest operating systems running on the VMware ESX and
Microsoft Hyper-V(TM) platforms. New to V-locity 2.0 is the addition of the
breakthrough IntelliWrite(TM) fragmentation prevention technology originally
introduced with Diskeeper(R) performance software. Utilising IntelliWrite
technology, V-locity writes files to the disk to prevent up to 85 percent of
fragmentation from occurring before it even happens.

Key V-Locity 2.0 Facts:

    - V-locity 2.0 was designed to create a virtual-specific product that not
      only performs defragmentation functions, but also synchronises the
      complex and ongoing activity between host and multiple guest operating
      systems in a virtualised environment.

    - V-locity 2.0 frees up vital storage resources by eliminating virtual
      disk "bloat". This is the wasted disk space that takes place when
      virtual disks are set to dynamically grow but fail to shrink when users
      or applications remove data. It actually compacts the virtual disk,
      thereby preventing waste and allowing IT Managers to better allocate
      virtual storage resources.

    - Diskeeper has seen 130 percent growth in adoption of V-locity 2.0 over
      the past few months. Significant drivers in customer adoption are
      attributed to the solution's powerful and easy-to-use new features
      including the breakthrough IntelliWrite fragmentation prevention
      technology. The escalation of customers deploying V-locity 2.0
      underscores that the solution is meeting a real customer need and
      highlights Diskeeper Corporation's commitment to ensuring its customers
      are able to derive the most productive return on their technology
      investment.

"V-locity solves resource issues if running multiple regular Diskeeper as
Guests. The biggest benefit is avoiding I/O contention; V-locity solves the
disk I/O contention issue when running multiple VMs," said Kari Mikesell,
Multisymmetric Inc. "My favourite feature is running the InvisiTasking(R)
technology across all VMs. Running 10+ VMs across 10 physical spindles on the
HOST would not be possible without InvisiTasking managing I/O and timing of
defrag events across all machines including the HOST. V-locity is a must for
VM Hosts & Guests OSes."

"Companies not running V-Locity 2.0 are missing an opportunity to
maximise their output by drastically cutting their overhead. With the use of
Diskeeper, it's a simple yet cost effective solution to cutting expenditure
company-wide with notable performance benefits," said VP Business
Development, Thomas Doria.

"The momentum we've created in the first months of this solution's
availability is a strong beginning, and we've already seen enterprise-wide
adoption underway with several Fortune 1000 customers" said Michael Materie,
product manager, Diskeeper Corporation. "The new successes we're seeing
affirm that customers are deriving value from V-locity 2.0 and recognising
that this solution is the best and only way to optimise performance across
virtual networks."
