Paragon Software's Hard Disk Manager Saves Critical IT Resources at Boise State University

Backup and disaster recovery software developer Paragon Software
Group (PSG) announced that Boise State University's TRiO
Educational Talent Search and TRiO Upward Bound Programs selected
Paragon's Hard Disk Manager (HDM) to save time and resources to
deploy and/or reimage desktop systems.
Boise State University's TRiO Educational Talent Search (ETS)
and Upward Bound programs provide outreach and assistance to
first-generation college bound and low-income students. The
programs maintain ten to twelve off-site classrooms with three to
five computers each, requiring regular reimaging.
After researching a software options, Corey Simpson, IT
coordinator for Boise State University's ETS and Upward Bound
program, scheduled a demonstration of Paragon's HDM.
"We needed to decrease the amount of time we were spending on
reimaging machines," said Simpson. "One of the features I looked
for in a solution was the ability to process multiple restores on
the network -- Paragon was the only vendor offering the features I
needed as well as disk partition and other disk management
tools."
Before purchasing a technician's license, the reimaging process
took about three to four hours per machine -- essentially each
machine required a new build. With HDM, the process now requires 30
to 40 minutes.
"HDM is a time saver that comes with useful tools for added
flexibility," continued Simpson. "It also gives me the ability to
backup a hard drive before reimaging, providing peace of mind that
if it fails I can restore the drive to its original state."
"Paragon HDM is a great alternative to Symantec Ghost or Backup
Exec or Acronis True Image," explains Daniel Eickhoff, director of
channel sales at Paragon. "In fact, 75 percent or our new customers
are switching to Paragon from Symantec or Acronis. Customers choose
Paragon because of our innovative technology, cost-effective
licensing and outstanding US-based technical support."
HDM is a complete solution for image-based backup and disaster
recovery. An available Virtual Server add-on component enables
technicians to back up virtual servers and leverage an existing
virtual environment for instant server recovery.

- Bare-metal restore to dissimilar hardware and instant server
recovery to VM
- Incremental and differential backups
- Live server migrations (P2P, P2V, V2V, V2P)
