Condusiv’s I/O reduction software is the only insurance against the aggressive nature of NTFS file fragmentation that impacts the performance and uptime of the MEDITECH EHR application, SQL databases and Exchange server databases
GLENDALE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Condusiv® Technologies, the world leader in software-only storage performance solutions, today announced industry-first enhancements to its popular I/O reduction software that over 100 MEDITECH hospitals and thousands of businesses rely on. These enhancements will even more aggressively eliminate the reliability and performance-robbing effects of File Attribute List (FAL) growth and NTFS file fragmentation that negatively impact applications such as the MEDITECH EHR application, SQL databases and Exchange server databases. These enhancements are available now in V-locity® 7.0 and Diskeeper® 18.
The MEDITECH EHR application can experience extensive fragmentation that lends itself to two problems (1) Sluggish EHR performance (2) risk of application failure or critical downtime as soon as the FAL reaches its size limit, a Windows file system limitation. As such, MEDITECH requires users to have a fragmentation remediation plan.
“Condusiv's fragmentation prevention and DRAM caching software contains an additional technology called "MediWrite™ that optimizes behavior specific to the MEDITECH platform. MediWrite monitors files for extreme cases of NTFS file fragmentation that can severely impact server and storage performance once the FAL reaches its maximum size limit and causes unnecessary downtime to resolve. MediWrite takes special action on these files to proactively prevent these extreme cases of fragmentation from occurring in the first place,” said Gary Quan, SVP Product Strategy.
Quan continued, “MediWrite is unique from all other defragmenters in handling the FAL fragmentation. Because of restrictions in the Windows file system, all other defragmenters can actually make the FAL size grow when they defragment a file. Condusiv’s unique MediWrite technology can defragment these cases without growing the FAL size, the only defragmenter to do this, which is why we are the recommended solution.”
Mike Belkner, MEDITECH Associate VP Technology, stated, “MEDITECH endorses Condusiv’s I/O reduction software, V-locity and Diskeeper, for their ability to reduce disk fragmentation and eliminate File Attribute List (FAL) saturation. Because of their design and feature set, we have also observed they accelerate application performance in a measurable way. MEDITECH requires a defragmentation program for all 5x and 6x customers. We are pleased that Condusiv has continued to enhance their solution and their products are strongly recommended.”
Condusiv’s MediWrite feature is in both V-locity (for virtual servers) and Diskeeper Server (for physical servers) and is the only technology that should be used since it can defragment the FAL without causing FAL size growth – an industry first. Moreover, by resolving any existing fragmentation and preventing any new fragmentation from occurring in real-time, performance penalties and downtime risks are resolved. MediWrite also has the option to automatically alert users when a FAL size issue is detected, so it can be resolved immediately.
