Saskatchewan Blue Cross senior network analyst, Janice Matus, recently
purchased and installed IBM’s Pureflex System with SAN storage and needed to
find an all-in-one software package that included backup, recovery and disk
maintenance for the new virtual environment.

"We were replacing our outdated disk
partitioning and wiping tool and came across Paragon’s HDD Manager,
"
said Matus. "A combination of our
need to replace outdated software and the fact that our P2V software did not
support SSD-drive migration, made it an easy decision. One of the selling
features was that it enables a restoration from a virtual image backup to a new
physical drive (V2P).
"

"HDD Manager was designed as the
Swiss-Army knife of disk utilities. We know that IT system administrators are
wrestling daily with critical tasks such as system recovery, imaging,
migration, virtualization, disk partitioning and secure wiping,
" said
Daniel Eickhoff, director of channel sales, Paragon Software Group. "The HDD Manager Tech License gives them a
tool that they can rely on to get the job done.
"

HDM provides image-based backup and DR designed to protect data, minimize
downtime, and lower 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 of physical and VMs
  • Bare-metal restore and hardware-independent restore (HIR)
  • Instant system recovery to VM
  • Scheduling and retention wizards for set-and-forget operation
  • Scripting to facilitate unique backup scenarios
  • Live Windows system migrations (P2V, V2V, V2P, P2P)
  • Advanced partitioning and disk wiping
  • Windows 8, Server 2012 and GPT/uEFI support
  • Support for SSDs and AFDs (2TB+, non-512B sector size)
