InvisiTasking —InvisiTasking is the foundation for Diskeeper to eliminate fragmentation in real time without affecting system resources or intruding on system demands.
Real-time defragmentation automatically handles fragmentation as it occurs, providing maximum system performance at all times!
Complete file and free space defragmentation defragmentation in the most extreme of conditions— even if your systems have only a one or two percent of free space left available or a file in millions of fragments, Diskeeper 2008 can restore lost performance and save the applications reliant on those files from major reliability failures.
"Defragmentation Intelligence" enhancements — Diskeeper’s logic controller, which detects various volume and system conditions and chooses the most effective algorithm, has been re-designed to deliver performance benefits faster and more efficiently.
Frag Shield 2.0 —boosts reliability and availability by automatically preventing crash-inducing fragmentation of critical system files.
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Compatibility mode —only Diskeeper 2008’s new VSS-compatible mode affords you the ability to leverage the data protection of VSS and the performance and reliability of automatic defragmentation.
I-FAAST 2.0 (Intelligent File Access Acceleration Sequencing Technology) automatically boosts access speeds for the most commonly used files.
Terabyte Volume Engine 2.0 —Powerful defragmentation for high capacity and high traffic servers with disk volumes containing hundreds of thousands to millions of files (e.g. NAS, RAID, and SAN). Also allows unobtrusive and thorough free space consolidation on busy 24/7 servers.
Automatic online directory consolidation boosts antivirus scans and back-up speed.
Native 64 bit operating systems support.
BOOT-TIME MODE safely performs Microsoft®-recommended defragmentation of critical system files.
Network Management Support — control Diskeeper settings and functionality via Diskeeper Administrator edition or Group Policy
ANALYSIS REPORTS provide detailed statistical information such as volume sizes, cluster size, available free space, total fragmentation, free space fragmentation, paging/swap file size, fragmented directories, total MFT fragments, most fragmented files, historical "trend" reports and much more to keep you fully informed.

Resource Requirements
The disk space requirements for Diskeeper depend on several factors. On Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000 systems, Diskeeper will need about 11 MB. Allow about 10 MB of extra free space for temporary files during the installation. If Internet Explorer is not present on your computer, some other needed files (hhupd.exe, 50comupd.exe, and wintdist.exe) may be added. Further, your system may require a new or updated version of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), which is less than 6 MB.
Additional Software Requirements
Diskeeper relies on the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The MMC provides a single point of control for system utilities such as Diskeeper. The MMC is used as a central location for a variety of Microsoft and third party administrative tools. The MMC is included in Microsoft Windows 2000 and newer operating systems.
A Note About Firewalls
As a normal part of its operation, the Diskeeper Service (DkService.exe) acts as a server on your system. If you are running a hardware or software firewall, you may see messages indicating Diskeeper Service is trying to act as a server. These messages are expected; you can safely allow these events. This functionality is designed to allow for support for network operations (e.g. Remote Control) via Diskeeper Administrator.
You may also be notified that Diskeeper is trying to access the Internet. It is important to note that Diskeeper does not access the Internet (except when you specifically use the Check for Updates feature), but it does use Windows mechanisms that may trigger these alerts from your firewall. Again, these messages are expected and you can safely allow the events. If networkability or automatic update checking is not required, you can safely disable this.
