PARAGON SOFTWARE ADDRESSES HFS+, BRIDGES INCOMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN
WINDOWS® AND MAC
Paragon HFS+ for Windows Allows Full Access to Mac HFS+ File Systems from
Microsoft Windows™
IRVINE, Calif., June 23, 2009 – Building on its already established commitment to
bridge the gap between Windows and Mac operating systems, Paragon Software Group
(PSG), the technology leader in innovative data security and data management solutions, is
introducing the latest addition to its technology portfolio - HFS+ for Windows.
Paragon’s HFS+ for Windows enables the use of Mac-formatted partitions in
Windows operating systems. Utilizing Paragon’s own unique technology, the Universal File
System Driver (UFSD), Paragon’s HFS+ for Windows is able to extend the boundaries of
Microsoft Windows’ scalability and interoperability. The UFSD technology was specifically
developed to provide full access (read/write, format, etc.) to volumes of the most popular file
systems (NTFS, FAT, Ext2/3FS, etc.) under various platforms, (DOS, Windows, Linux, and
Mac) when these file systems are not supported.
According to Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group, “For the past 10
years, Paragon has been developing file system drivers focused on breaking down the
barriers to cross-platform communication and providing true operating system independence
for our users. HFS+ for Windows is the latest addition to our technology portfolio, and
anyone needing to use Mac-formatted partitions under Windows will find it to be an
indispensable tool.”
Paragon’s HFS+ for Windows can be installed on all versions of Windows, and
eliminates the need to use complex processes on different platforms, thus reducing costs
and increasing the usefulness of the user’s existing investment in hardware and software.
