Launched on Atlantis’ last space flight, Hard Disk Manager 11 Professional provides one-button simplicity for astronaut’s restore operations!

At 11:29 a.m. EDT on July 8, 2011, Paragon reached a milestone in the company’s brief history as it soared into the heavens on the final flight of America’s Space Shuttle Atlantis.

Selected by NASA’s Prime Bioastronautics contractor, Wyle, Paragon’s backup and disaster recovery software, Hard Disk Manager (HDM) 11 Professional now orbits the Earth on the International Space Station. HDM 11 serves as the primary backup and recovery software for the latest generation Ultrasound system also launched on Atlantis.

The International Space Station’s primary goal is to provide a platform for scientific research. Human subject research is managed by Wyle as part of the Bioastronautics Contract. Certification of the next generation ultrasound required being able to successfully restore the new ultrasound system to its launch configuration. Lockheed Martin, one of the subcontractors operating with Wyle, the prime contractor on the Bioastronautics Contract, needed a recovery solution that could meet its stringent specifications. As is often the case with space-related operations, a customized software solution was needed.

“At Paragon, we provide our clients with superior customer service regardless of where they are, now that extends to outer space,” said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group.

Month-to-Month Subscription Licensing Available for Backup and Disaster Recovery Solutions without Upfront Investment

Paragon Software 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 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.”

According to InformationWeek‘s writer Robert Mullins, new disk drive systems coming out with 4-kilobyte storage sectors, replacing the 512-byte standard of old, offer a lot of great advantages, such as increased storage capacity. But the transition is creating a problem for storage system administrators called storage partition misalignment. The problem occurs when new storage based on the 4K standard is installed in IT systems as a replacement for the 512-byte standard. It’s as much a problem for virtual storage environments as non-virtual.

In the most recent article “Upgraded Storage Standard Causes Headaches” director of channel sales for Paragon explains how Paragon’s systems detect and solve the mentioned problem.

Toshiba selected the Paragon Alignment Tool (PAT) for use with Toshiba’s Advanced Format (AF) hard disk drives.

“Windows operating systems before Vista experience a problem with 4K sectors called misalignment,” said Tom Coughlin, founder of Coughlin Associates and author of Aligning with the Future of Storage. “Under some conditions, such as system migration, even newer Windows and Linux* computers can suffer from block misalignment.”

“Advanced Format drives offer users increased capacity and enhanced data integrity. As AF drives become more prevalent, users with older operating systems and non-4K ready applications will need to ensure that their systems are optimized to take full advantage of the performance capabilities of 4K drives. This can easily be accomplished through the use of a software alignment tool,” said Joel Hagberg, vice president of Marketing, Storage Device Division for Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. “By partnering with Paragon Software, we can ensure that our customers are able to enjoy the full benefits of Advanced Format drives no matter what operating system or software applications they are using.”

The Paragon Alignment Tool for Toshiba AF 512e Drives is available to Toshiba customers free of charge. A version for other AF drives is available from Paragon Software’s Web site and is incorporated into Paragon’s other mainstream 4K-ready products such as Hard Disk Manager and Partition Manager.
