Winternals Software has today announced the latest version of its defragmentation software, Defrag Manager. Version 2.5 of the enterprise-level software features a re-engineered, multi-phase defragmentation engine that provides speed improvements of up to 100 per cent, according to the company. The software supports Windows 2000, XP, NT 4.0 and Server 2003 and hard disk volumes ranging from 20GB to more than 1TB.

Targeted at organisations, Defrag Manager defragments all files on a hard disk - including the Registry, Page File and Master File Table (MFT) - via Microsoft's file system APIs. Managed from a single console, the software lets you remotely schedule, deploy, monitor and control defragmentation routines to any PCs connected to a Windows network. It works by deploying a defragmentation agent to each client according to a user-designated schedule. The agent then utilises a proprietary defragmentation algorithm that automatically completes the defragmentation process, and then removes itself from each system.

Defrag Manager lets you control and configure all defragmentation tasks from a single system, without the need to install the software on client systems, regardless of the number of computers on the network or the physical location of the machines. The ability to eliminate end-user interaction in the defragmentation process should help your company to reduce desk-side support, as well as time and effort required for manual client installations, according to Winternals Software. You can schedule automatic defragmentation for a single PC, a group of workstations, or an entire Active Directory Organisation. The software can also defrag offline systems.
