Why this partition manager server is best
As I said in the beginning, the functionalities of partition managers in the market are very similar, then why this server partition manger could be the best? Two reasons:
100% data protected
What is most important to a server? Data!
Few people know that there is system damage and data loss risk when repartitioning disk drives. For example, to change size of partitioned drive, all parameters of related hard disk, volume and files should be modified correctly, but some software related error and hardware issue such as power failure, extremely high CPU usage rate or low RAM could cause part of parameters failed to be modified. If it happens, system and data will be damaged.
Luckily, NIUBI corporation developed the innovative 1 Second Rollback technology, which makes NIUBI Partition Editor the only partition software that can ensure 100% system and data intact. With the unique technology, if any software error or hardware issue occur while re-partitioning, NIUBI Partition Editor can automatically roll back the server to original status in ONE second.
What is second important to a server? Keeping online!
Every server is equipped with backup software, however, there is still a problem, what will you do if damage occur? Wast several hours even a whole day to restore and verify data, during this period, server is OFFLINE.
What will you do if something goes wrong when running NIUBI Partition Editor? Nothing! It automatically roll back to the status before repartitioning in one second. If it happens, nothing will be changed or lost, so the server could back online without damage rapidly.
Much faster
You won’t notice the performance difference if you don’t compare it with other tools in same environment by yourself. For example, when you shrink D to extend C drive, all files in volume D should be moved to new locations, so the more files in it, the longer time to move. Meanwhile, the better algorithm means less time.
Because of the special and optimized file-moving algorithm, NIUBI Partition Editor is 30% to 300% faster, which is strictly tested. In most conditions, resizing and moving a drive with 500GB files can be done within an hour, but other partition software can only move 30MB to 50MB files per second, so they cost about 3.5 hours. Why not use a partition manager server that is much faster?
