Paragon MSP Partner Program Introduced

Backup and disaster recovery software developer Paragon Software Group introduced their Managed Service Provider (MSP) Partner Program – which provides a new avenue for value added resellers (VARs) to expand their business opportunities by offering Paragon’s Drive Backup products to their customers as a service.

Participating VARs benefit by utilizing the program to generate a new high-margin, recurring revenue stream without any upfront capital investment for the MSP or their customers.

Paragon Drive Backup protects data, minimizes downtime, and lowers data storage and management costs while ensuring business continuity through instant system recovery. Live server virtualization and migration technology (P2V, V2P, V2V and P2P) makes conversions easy and utilizes virtual environments for convenient, flexible backup and disaster recovery strategies. The disk imaging-based software is available for servers and workstations. Features include live snapshots, bare-metal restore to dissimilar hardware, server recovery, virtualization, scheduling, and a scripting engine for nonstandard backup requirements.

"Paragon offers MSPs a flexible, multi-tier pay-as-you-go MSP licensing option for our disk imaging software line, Drive Backup, that allows MSPs to license the software from Paragon on a month-to-month basis, and then sub-license it to their customers," said Daniel Eickhoff, director of channel sales at Paragon Software Group. "The subscription-based model eliminates the startup capital investment to acquire the licenses and maintenance for both the MSP and their customers."

Program Features and Benefits:

Monthly subscription licenses
Volume discounts
No upfront capital investment for MSP and their clients
Lead distribution program
Joint marketing and event opportunities

Paragon also offers an OEM Program for partners interested in integrating or bundling Paragon’s hard drive and network management applications with their products to add value to their products.
