O&O Defrag V8.5 solves the performance and stability problems of Windows workstations and servers caused by fragmented hard disks.
Fragmentation is the main cause of significant losses in performance in Windows. Due to the fact that the hard disk is the slowest component of a computer, its optimization is an especially important issue.

By using O&O Defrag V8.5, files can be read and written much more quickly. What at first seems to be lost performance can easily be rediscovered and realized again with O&O Defrag V8.5, giving you the peace of mind that your hardware is in good health and operating optimally. New technological developments also ensure you are getting the best efficiency at the lowest cost.

Even in the age of fast and affordable hardware, an important part of a system's performance is dependent on the operating system used and its integrated file management. The most frequent problem these systems is file fragmentation. Fragmentation is understood as the disorderly dispersion of file due the unavoidable revision and saving of new data onto the hard disk. When this is the case, it is common to have files that are separated into multiple fragments and randomly distributed over the hard disk surface. As a result, processing these files takes much longer, because all segments belonging to one file have to be relocated, read, and reassembled. The impact is particularly dramatic in Windows: the longer a system is in use, the more intensive the file fragmentation. This dynamic inevitably leads to losses in performance.

O&O Defrag rediscovers this lost system performance, helping to save both time and money. With O&O Defrag, all of the scattered pieces of data are analyzed and reorganized more efficiently onto the hard disk. Massive performance increases can be enjoyed on both normal workstations and file and database servers alike, simply through the use of O&O Defrag V8.5. By regularly maintaining your hard disk with O&O Defrag V8.5, you will be able to prevent unnecessary slowing in your system's performance, making your work experience and productivity in Windows much more positive experiences.

These incredible improvements in performance save time and money. For these reasons, it is no surprise that experts and users alike consider O&O Defrag the most important tool for attaining optimal performance in Windows.

New in Version 8 is the ability to activate O&O Defrag whenever Windows has activated its screen saver. As soon as the screen saver is ended by the user, defragmentation is paused. Continuing defragmentation at a later time is always possible since O&O Defrag can detect where it last left off.

This mode enables to you to defragment your hard disk only when the computer is not in use, such as during your lunch hour or simply when you are away from your desk. This feature can be activated remotely for all computers on a network.

With the help of the integrated software distributor, the O&O ComponentInstaller, you can automatically install and update O&O Defrag on the network.

O&O Defrag V8.5 Server Edition enables administrators to connect to other computers on the network and carry out their administrative tasks from the comfort of their own workstations. This means that administrators have quick and simple access to analyses of any of network clients' computers, anytime. The O&O SiteControl feature displays a real-time listing of every computer on the network and their specific system information. With just the click of a button those systems can then be defragmented. It really does not get any simpler than that.
If you are using Windows Active Directory Services on your company's network, O&O Defrag V8.5 makes it possible for you to distribute a specific set of Defrag settings by way of your Group Policies. O&O Defrag V8.5 integrates itself seamlessly into the existing IT infrastructure and can even be automatically installed through the Windows software distribution function.

As the world's only professional defragmentation software, the internal communication between O&O Defrag V8.5's individual programmed components is based on open standards and uses TCP/IP as its main communication protocol. For this reason, O&O Defrag V8.5 is easily integrated into company networks of any size and is flexible enough to adjust to virtually any security scheme.

Defrag Jobs can be defined in many different ways. A multitude of parameters including time and specific actions to be performed can be manipulated to fit your needs. In the new Version 8 this function has been completely overhauled to provide you with countless new functions and possibilities for custom jobs.
You can create, change, or delete jobs. Just as you are used to defining the global settings for your computer on a whole, so to can you enter in the settings for your O&O Defrag jobs. Should you not require a specific job for a certain period of time, it is also possible to deactivate specific jobs rather than simply deleting them. This allows for the reactivation of old jobs should the need arise again.

With the automatic scheduling feature, O&O Defrag determines the most optimal time to defragment again. The more fragmented a system is, the more often it is defragmented.
