Software Group (PSG)
announced that engineering firm Industrial Molds, Inc.
selected its Hard Disk Manager (HDM) Premium over the
products of its competitors Acronis, Symantec and Dell.
Selected for its feature set and superior technical support, HDM provides fast, easy image-based ‘Backup
and Restore’ functionality incorporated with live server snapshots and P2V migration technology.
"For
three years I worked on securing the budget for a backup strategy,"
explains Ben Spain, IT manager for Industrial Molds. "It took almost losing a server with critical CAD data to facilitate
approval. After three years of thoroughly researching competitive backup
products, the decision to go with Paragon’s Hard Disk Manager came quickly.
Spain’s deciding factors included cost, features, and quality of technical support. Paragon was the only backup and DR software vendor offering the most
comprehensive software solution and knowledgeable staff. Hard Disk Manager did
everything I needed it to do, providing the best value."
"As
a well-known leader in precision manufacturing, we are very happy to add
Industrial Molds to our growing list of satisfied clients," said Tom
Fedro, president of Paragon. "In this case, the fact that a near-disaster needed to occur before a
formal backup strategy was approved is unfortunately more common than it should
be. Paragon makes the decision easier by providing great value with superior
features and top-notch, US-based technical support."
HDM is an image-based backup and DR
software that protects data, minimizes downtime, and lowers data storage and
management costs while ensuring BC through instant system recovery. Live server
migration technology (P2V, V2P, V2V, and P2P) makes conversions easy and
enables IT managers to make use of virtual environments for flexible DR
strategies.
Features
include:
- Incremental and differential backups
- Fast backup and restore speeds
- Bare-metal restore and instant recovery of VMs
- Scheduling wizard for set-and-forget operation
- Scripting to facilitate unique backup scenarios
- ConnectVD accesses offline virtual disks
- 2.2TB+ drive support
"Although we have had no emergency yet, we
have tested restores to a VM," Ben adds. "It was easy, fast and very straightforward."
