This chapter examines the fragmentation problem as a business problem. First, we’ll spend time looking at fragmentation as a business risk. Although previous sections described the on-disk technical details, we’ll look at the impact to users, systems, and the business. Once we’ve seen what kind of impact fragmentation can have, we’ll take a look at how best to justify a solution to the problem. The best way to do so is through case studies. We’ll examine examples of other companies that have successfully mitigated the fragmentation problem. Then we’ll provide a strategy for selecting a defragmentation solution.
