PARAGON SOFTWARE ADDRESSES SMB MARKET WITH AFFORDABLE, SIMPLE
BACKUP AND RECOVERY SOLUTION WITH LAUNCH OF NEW HARD DISK MANAGER
New Server Edition Rolls Out as Part of Hard Disk Manager 2009 Suite
IRVINE, Calif., December 9, 2008 – Paragon Software Group, the technology leader
in innovative data security and data management solutions, today announced that the
company is addressing the need for a comprehensive tool to manage hard drives with its
new Hard Disk Manager 2009 Suite. In the past, managing a hard drive throughout its life
span has required an array of different tools. Paragon’s Hard Disk Manager 2009 Suite
offers all of these tools - including partitioning, cloning, backup, recovery, hard drive
disposal, system management, defragging, and wiping – in a single, simple, intuitive
interface.
Available in three distinct editions, Hard Disk Manager 2009 Suite eliminates the
need to buy and install a myriad of individual programs, reducing overhead and increasing
productivity. The new Server Edition is specifically designed to address the growing SMB
market and provides a comprehensive solution for cost-conscious businesses with smaller
networks that need their data protected, maintained and managed. With the needs of SMBs
at the forefront, Server Edition manages the hard drive through every stage of its lifecycle:
from placing a new drive into service, setting up real and secured dual boot environment,
advanced partitioning without data loss, regular backups of system and data, solving any
boot problems, restoring your system from bare metal state and more.
According to Steve Young, Paragon’s channel sales director, “Our VARs have
emphasized that it is essential that they have a single integrated tool to protect, maintain and
