As computer is blending into our work continuously, many enterprises have their own independent servers so as to exchange and deal with data information more safely. We know server needs to store and deal with a large amount of information, so the server must have faster CPU and RAM. At the same time, server managers should perform perfect disk partition managements, such as resize partitions, merge partitions, and copy partitions. Good server disk partition management can help us manage data better and optimize computer performance. One of the most commonly used operations is to resize server partitions. Well then, what advantages does resizing server partitions have?

Why should we resize server partitions?
Many people know partitioning hard disk well can enhance operating system running efficiency and disk space use ratio. Good partition is also very important for server which has higher requirements. If server partitions are out of space, many unnecessary troubles will come. For example, data can not be stored completely or can not be stored. If system partition is out of space, the computer will run slowly. For server which requires extremely high data safety and running efficiency, losses caused by system partition space shortage is immeasurable. Well then, how to solve this problem? Next, let me briefly introduce two common methods.

Methods for resizing server partitions
Here, I offer two commonly used methods. The first one is to repartition server, which can allocate larger space for system partition. However, repartitioning will influence data, so we must make a backup for all data ahead of time. But who is willing to waste a large amount time to backup data and repartition? The second one is to resize server partitions. This is the most effective method, because this method costs a little time to resize server partitions and will not bring any influence on data. To use this method, we must ask the third-party partition magic server for help. As server managers must pay much attention to data safety, all of them must be cautious to select partition magic server. MiniTool Partition Wizard is a good choice. This partition magic server can not only help server users resize server partitions easily and fast without data loss but also offer other powerful serve partition managements, such as merge partitions, create partitions, copy partitions, and format partitions, thereby meeting server users' different demands.

In the above interface, we can see this partition magic provides two methods for setting partition size: one is to input desired values in the "Partition Size" text box, and the other is to drag any triangle on both sides of the partition handle marked with red box. Besides, on the top of this interface, there is a red marquee which can protect data, so please check it. After finishing settings, we click "OK" to go back to the main interface.
