Meerkat

If you work in a big company on a PC and you process loads of data, it should as no surprise that the partitions on your disks will eventually fill up with data. The problem with this issue is when you reach a full partition, and you need to then waste time filtering, deleting and uninstalling all the unnecessary data. That is why a program such as Meerkat, as it automatically sends emails to any destination when your partitions reach a certain filling point.

Many programs work well together, but you need some imagination if you think about mixing up a disk storage monitor with an automatic email sending service. The first function of Meerkat is that of a disk storage analyzer, neatly displaying all of your available partitions, along with their total storage capacity and the amount of free space left. The second function is that of an automatic email sender that can pe set to send emails to certain recipients when the remaining free space of your partitions reach certain milestones.

One great use for this app is to alert your company's IT department when your PC is about to be filled up so that they can take the required measures without you having to lift a finger. Recipients can be customized for better identification, including nicknames, the SMTP server to send the email with and the delay between subsequent emails. There you can also include personal details, so the IT department knows which computer is encountering issues.

While Meerkat may seem unimpressive from a functional and visual point of view, but given that it allows you to get in contact with persons of interest right after your PC fills up means it is a great time saver. Given that time is of the essence nowadays, this makes the app a vital tool in any office worker's toolkit.
