Paragon Software Group’s Hard Disk Manager Premium selected over competitors by Industrial Molds for comprehensive features, superior technical support and highest value

Provides Fast, Easy Image-based “Backup and Restore” with Live Server Migration Technology

Engineering firm Industrial Molds selected Paragon Software Group’s Hard Disk Manager (HDM) Premium over the products of its competitors Acronis, Symantec and Dell. Selected for its comprehensive feature set and superior technical support, resulting in the best value in the marketplace, HDM provides fast, easy image-based “Backup and Restore” functionality incorporated with live server snapshots and seamless 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 disaster recovery 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 Software Group. “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.”
