History

During the 1980s, a software package titled "Disk-Optimizer" was marketed as part of the collective name "RAXCO Rabbit Software."[4][5]

PerfectDisk was released in 1990 for the VMS[6] operating system.[7] A version for Windows NT followed later in 1997.[8] PerfectDisk contains scheduler supporting also client PCs in the network.
