Includes all facilities to help IT administrators accomplish storage upgrade or system migration procedures on Windows Server with minimal cost and effort

Paragon Migration Suite for Server (MSS) specially designed to ease the transfer of system software and data to dissimilar server hardware.

“Moving large numbers of servers to new hard drives, virtual environments or dissimilar hardware or a combination thereof is normally a difficult, time consuming task and the reason we created Paragon Migration Suite for Server” said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group. “This powerful suite of migration technology empowers the IT professional to quickly and seamlessly move servers to new environments and is attractively priced for our resellers and SMB customers.”

The software eases migration tasks without any additional data-media management requirements.

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.

Enables Linux-Based Appliances With Full Read/Write Access to Externally Attached Windows- and Mac-Formatted Hard Drives

Paragon’s NTFS and HFS+ for Linux® drivers were selected by embedded processing manufacturer Applied Micro Circuits Corp., or AppliedMicro for incorporation into their new family of APM821xx GHz Processors. The bundled solution speeds up communication between APM-based appliances and attached storage. The NTFS and HFS+ for Linux drivers enable full read/write access to both Windows®- and Mac®-formatted drives that are externally attached to AppliedMicro’s APM821xx platforms — making it an ideal product for OEM network storage appliances (NAS).

Two of Paragon’s most popular cross-platform technologies, NTFS and HFS+ for Linux, are designed to eliminate barriers between embedded Linux devices and attached Windows- and Mac-formatted hard drives, and feature the highest performance in the market — so critical for network environments where multiple users may simultaneously download, share and playback content such as high definition Blu-ray™ quality video.
