Diskeeper
By Diskeeper Corporation
Diskeeper 2007 Server represents an entirely new level of performance and reliability for servers and networked systems. With Diskeeper 2007 Server installed, your system will run more reliably and faster than you thought possible, AUTOMATICALLY, for the life of your system. Maintaining servers can be a daunting task - maintenance, including regular defragmentation, must take place regularly to keep them running at peak levels. However, with constant uptime required, scheduling such processes to run at the right times can be tricky, since while running they pose a considerable drain on system resources. Diskeeper 2007 Server marks the end of scheduling, and the beginning of REAL TIME, on the fly maintenance of servers without ever again having to worry about dips in performance or straining valuable system resources - even when demand is at its absolute highest! InvisiTasking? Technology InvisiTasking is a breakthrough technology which promises to change the way IT professionals keep their systems in top condition. InvisiTasking enables the system performance enhancements in Diskeeper 2007 to run in the background, undetectably tapping into unused system resources. Gone for good are the days when maintenance and defragmentation had to be scheduled during nights and weekends when demand was low. With the advent of InvisiTasking, there will never be a conflict in system resources or a loss in system performance.

ViMark
By River Past Corporation
Modern computer system has so much performance that even a three year old system would satisfy most people''s daily needs, including browsing internet, email, office work, and even photo management. You won''t type faster by getting a faster system. Thus, the regular benchmarks which measures general system performance don''t matter anymore. Certainly, there are exceptions, including gaming, anti-virus scan, and video-related work. For the best gaming performance, a powerful video card is often more important than CPU. Anti-virus scanning is time-consuming. However, scanning speed is mostly determined by the hard drive speed, not CPU. The CPU usage often stays under 30% during a scan.Thus, the only time consuming task which is still CPU intensive is video compression. It affects people everyday - encode video for iPod, PMC, Zen; burn DVD; encode video for websites etc. Many system testers already do some kind of video compression benchmark. They use a variety of software for measuring the speed. However, those software are expensive and impossible for normal user to obtain. Thus, the benchmarking is limited in scope and you cannot benchmark your system to compare to a published result. ViMark is free. You don''t need to buy expensive software just to see if your system is performing well. ViMark is easy. It does require QuickTime and DirectX. Other than those two standard video related system components, there is no extra codec download. Run ViMark and you will get your result in minutes.ViMark is a uniformed benchmark. Want to compare your result with other people? Submit to ViMark website and you can easily compare to reuslts running the same CPU or same OS.ViMark helps you to tune your performance. If you see your own result is substantially lower than others who use the same CPU and OS, you know there is a problem. Discuss with others in our discussion forum. It helps you to tune your system for the best performance.
EndTask Pro
By Osama Abdel-Karim
The Pro edition of the EndTask family includes tools for blocking pop-up ads, managing tasks, monitoring system performance, monitoring your Internet connection and much more. Unlike other pop-up blockers, ours won''t kill pop-up windows you want. Our unique software hides pop-ups and just shows information about them. With a simple mouse hover you can take a peek and decide whether to show them. Otherwise, pop-ups will be automatically blocked after a few seconds. The technology is invisible to sites that try to detect and foil blockers. Its design isn''t based on a specific browser so it will work on most computers. There is no need to install any proxy servers or plug-ins. The Pro edition includes common features such as a "White list" and the classic "Instant-Blocker". Our task management software, like antivirus and firewall software, is critical for keeping your computer running like new. With numerous tools to monitor and control the code running on your machine, you can fine-tune your system and eradicate malware (trojans, spyware, adware, etc). The Pro edition logs vital information about your current and last Internet connection such as cost and speed, in addition to general statistics. You can record the duration an Internet connection was active for all types of Internet connections; i.e. the system was sending/receiving bytes. Also includes a Tracker bar which is a bar similar to windows taskbar that displays vital information such as your System performance and Internet speed in a small histogram. On shutdown, EndTask Pro will remind you if you forgot any media in any of your drives. Internet Connection speed, CPU/Memory usage, and Process CPU usage can be displayed as a histogram over the previous minute, or the average in the previous hour or day. We even have a smart reminder that notifies the user to walk around and take a break. It''s important to relax and protect your invaluable health!
