Idealstor Partners With Paragon

Idealstor LLC, manufacturer of removable
disk-to-disk backup solutions, is offering Drive Backup Server software from
backup and recovery publisher Paragon Software
Group as an integrated component of all of their
backup systems.

Combining the attributes of Idealstor and Paragon, this new
offering promises to deliver a protection and backup
portability for Windows servers, virtual machines, databases and desktops.

Idealstor manufactures removable disk backup systems that are
designed to replace or augment tape backup by using SATA disks as portable
backup media. Systems range in capacity from 1 removable drive bay up to 8 with
the ability to use up to a 4TB disk per bay (max system capacity currently
32TB). Unlike most disk to disk backup systems on the market that are designed for storing data like NAS, SAN or RAID, Idealstor uses a
combination of hardware and software making the disks ejectable so they can be
sent offsite for storage and DR.

With the addition of Drive Backup Server from Paragon Software, Idealstor is now able to offer an hardware solution that
lets  recover  servers or virtual machines anytime, anywhere.
Drive Backup Server utilizes sector-based backups, giving
server administrators the ability to image an entire server including files,
data and applications. When the backup is complete, Paragon lets you dial in
the level of recovery you need including file-based recovery, bare metal system
restore and individual email recovery for Microsoft Exchange.

"We are happy to welcome Idealstor as our newest partner,"
said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group. "Idealstor hardware
paired with our Drive Backup Server software provides a complete turnkey
solution for customers."

Traditionally these Paragon system images were sent to local disk
storage, which could then be backed up to tape or the cloud to store this critical
data offsite. By combining Paragon’s software with Idealstor removable disk
media, images can now be backed up to portable disk media, which in
turn can then be stored in any location – offering companies a powerful
and flexible backup and disaster recovery solution.

"We are very excited to announce our partnership with Paragon
Software Group and to be able to offer their award winning disaster recovery
software with our backup systems," said Nandan Arora, chief technology
officer at Idealstor. "We’ve been in the backup game since 2003 and have
never come across a more complete software solution. By bundling Paragon’s
Drive Backup Server with our removable disk hardware we feel we have an
unmatched solution in the market that will allow our customers and channel
partners even more options when it comes to protecting their critical
data."
