From 2004 through to 2019, Coriolis Systems was a software company that supplied Mac utility software, including its award-winning iPartition partitioning tool and iDefrag disk optimizer, as well as a handful of other products including VMOptimizer , Zipster and a real time AC-3 compatible encoder, Aura . This used to be its website.
Coriolis Systems was founded by Alastair Houghton back in 2004, who had left his job around a year earlier to write the company's first product, iPartition, after becoming annoyed that he couldn't repartition his new laptop to install developer versions of Mac OS X without wiping it clean.
He went on to develop iDefrag, in part to work around a limitation of the original version of iPartition, then hired Chris Suter, who was responsible for adding a number of features to the products (most notably, NTFS support, reboot-and-defragment mode in iDefrag and a new data movement algorithm for iPartition that was more efficient and enabled the unique recoverability feature in that product).
