Paragon Software® Releases New Safe and Easy Partitioning Software for Optimizing Microsoft Windows® Server Performance

 

IRVINE, Calif., March 12, 2008 – Paragon Software Group (PSG), the technology leader in innovative data security and data management technology, today announced that maximizing server performance just got easier with the introduction of its latest Paragon Partition Manager 9.0 Server Edition.  With a long and established history of supporting Microsoft® operating systems, Paragon Software Group continues that legacy with its latest partition product offering.  Designed to be the safest and most reliable partition solution available, the software offers unmatched compatibility with server hardware and software combined with comprehensive disk partition, backup and recovery options and advanced tools to prevent data loss.

 

Partition Manager 9.0 Server Edition provides a new level of security for partitioning operations and provides businesses with its exclusive Initial Backup Facility™. The Initial Backup Facility provides users with an advanced, yet simple, backup of all critical drive data, such as the Master Boot Record (MBR), Track 0, Boot information, the Partition Table and more; all before performing any critical operations.  

 

According to Tom Fedro, president of the Americas division of Paragon Software, “With Paragon Partition Manager 9.0 Server Edition, our clients have the ability to safely split a hard disk into several partitions, optimize the disk space, partition data, convert file systems easily, manage dual boot systems and conduct a host of other advanced partitioning functions.  Our Initial Backup Facility provides a safety net that enables the user to roll back any partitioning operation instantly.”

 

With Paragon's Partition Manager 9.0 Server Edition, users can create, format and delete partitions and convert file systems from one to another without data loss, utilizing user-friendly wizards.  Included with this version is an Advanced Recovery Solution that includes two types of recovery CDs; Linux/DOS-based and WindowsPE-based. These powerful recovery CDs help system administrators automatically solve most problems with system booting, partition restoration and more.  

 

"There are several key benefits to using Paragon's Partition Manager 9.0 Server Edition," Fedro stated. "Key among these are Paragon's sophisticated partitioning features, which enable users to easily, resize, copy and redistribute free disk space as well as merge two partitions or recover accidentally deleted or lost partitions."

 

Other key features include:

·         Paragon Hot Processing Engine – Allows you to perform operations with locked partitions and hard disks under Windows without rebooting the system

·         Simple Backup Wizard – Enables you to back up the system and data to a local or network disk before applying any critical operations

·         Rescue and Recovery - incorporates a Recovery Media Builder which enables the creation of a bootable back up CD/DVD to restore system data in the event that the existing Windows operating system won’t boot

 

Paragon Software also announced the availability of Paragon Partition Manager 9.0 Enterprise Server Edition, a full range partitioning and hard disk management solution designed especially for large enterprises.  With Paragon Partition Manager Enterprise Server Edition, IT Professionals are able to get optimum performance from servers, automate system management, save time and reduce the maintenance costs of their IT systems.

 

Like Paragon Partition Server, included in the Enterprise Server Edition is the unique and exclusive Initial Backup Facility, which helps to prevent data loss by backing up a server's hard drive/partition before performing any operation with them.  As servers in enterprises are generally heavily loaded and have to work 24/7, the Enterprise Server Edition enables you to perform initial backup procedures in real-time mode without leaving Windows.  Backup and Restore Wizards help our clients to perform such operations easily and quickly.

 

Partition Manager 9.0 Server is available directly from Paragon Software Group’s Website at http://www.paragon-software.com/business/pm-server or by contacting sales@paragon-software.com  by e-mail or calling 1-888-347-5462.
