Server Partition Manager

Disk partition software

Many server users employ dynamic disk for higher security of data information in server and better management. Though dynamic disk has more advantages than basic disk, for example it supports various dynamic volumes and image backup, it is still more difficult to manage dynamic disk. As built-in disk management tool has very limited management functions of dynamic disk, it is better to choose third-party professional disk partition software to realize perfect dynamic disk management.
Nowadays, there are so many choices of software in the market, and it is very hard to pick up one suitable disk partition software for dynamic disk management. This is not only because network security, but also because compatibility of most disk partition software. Most of them are incompatible with server dynamic disk, making server users feel rather frustrated.
