IRVINE and SANTA CLARA, Calif., August 10, 2010 – Paragon Software Group, the technology leader in innovative data security and data management solutions, today announced that Paragon’s Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology has been chosen by Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) to provide high-performance, cross-platform read/write access.

 

With the addition of Paragon NTFS for Linux and HFS+ for Linux, based on the UFSD technology, users will be able to attach and have full access to their Windows ^® and/or Mac-formatted external HDDs via their Marvell-based platforms running under Linux. Furthermore, UFSD enables PCs and servers to be OS independent and achieve high performance network storage access and file sharing.

 

Compatible with Marvell ARM instruction-set compliant CPU processors, UFSD technology is available for products such as the Marvell® SheevaPlug™ Plug Computer, which draws so little power that it can be left on at all times, enabling high-performance, always-on, always-connected, and environmentally-friendly computing for consumers and developers.  

 

“We’re happy to find an embedded technology that further optimizes the performance of Marvell’s total solution platforms, such as the Marvell SheevaPlug,” said Dr. Simon Milner, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Business Unit, Communications and Consumer Group at Marvell.  “ Paragon’s UFSD cross-platform technology offers effective read/write performance available for products like the Marvell SheevaPlug, and provides full compatibility for our CPU processor and SoC families.”

 

Paragon’s patented UFSD technology was developed to provide full high-performance access (read/write, format, etc.) under various platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, VxWorks, etc.) to volumes of the most popular file systems (NTFS, HFS+, Ext2/3FS, etc.) which otherwise would not be supported.  The high-performance aspect of the UFSD technology is critical for network storage, in which multiple users simultaneously download, play back and share content.

 

“Marvell is one of the top chip manufacturers in the embedded systems market,” said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group.  “The combination of our technology with Marvell’s strong feature set will benefit a variety of customers, from consumers to SMBs and enterprise.”

IRVINE, Calif., July 22, 2010 - Paragon ConnectVD technology resolves virtualized system management issues by utilizing software  tools that connect with virtual disk files or snapshots and treats them as if they were physical hard disk drives - for easy data management, backup, virus removal, server optimization and many other tasks.

ConnectVD mounts a virtual disk file or snapshot in a read and read/write state, and depending on the desired outcome and the state of the original virtual machine – allows the user to either read data while it’s running or write data after it stops...

IRVINE , CA, July 12, 2010 – It’s time to upgrade to a new operating system, but the thought of all the unknown issues may hold you back.  What if your favorite applications haven’t been updated to work with the new OS? There may be unintentional software glitches or bugs that will damage your host computer. One solution would be to create a virtual clone of your current computing environment to test any changes or upgrades before going live on your own PC, but migration to a virtual machine might be too complex and expensive for an average home user. How do you even begin to go virtual?

 

Paragon Software Group (PSG), the technology leader in innovative data security and data management solutions, invites you to Paragon Go Virtual with the new easy-to-use, free migration tool created for PC users who want to work in a virtual environment without technical risk. How does it work? Paragon Go Virtual allows you to make a virtual clone of your PC in three easy steps: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/go-virtual/how_it_works.html

Working in a Physical to Virtual (P2V) environment has benefits.  Avoid negative system conflicts by creating a virtual clone of your current physical system before migrating to a new computer – try new software in a safe environment and decide whether it works and is exactly what you need before making it a permanent addition to your collection.  Or save your virtual environment to a USB hard drive and use it from anywhere at any time, just as if you’re working from your own PC.  With P2V, you can also take advantage of an up-to-date powerful computer while still having access to favorite applications from an old computer.  And, if your old computer is corrupted or you lose data in a transfer, but you have a backup image of your old system made with Paragon software, you can virtualize it using Paragon Go Virtual installed on your new PC.

 

Previously available only to businesses and advanced users, migration to a virtual machine -- because of its complexity and high cost – could be time consuming and complicated for an individual PC user.  Individual users were often required to search for several third-party software tools, and then ensure that these tools were compatible with their new machine before completing the process.  Paragon Go Virtual quickly and efficiently solves these problems by providing a complete solution compatible with all major formats of known virtual machines, including Microsoft (Virtual PC), VMware (Fusion, Workstation, Player) and Oracle (VirtualBox).  Further, Go Virtual requires no additional tools for and after the migration process.

 

 “Since most existing migration tools are aimed at businesses and professional users, Paragon came up with a quality solution for everyone to suit a wider range of users with simplicity, efficiency and the most reliable performance results.” said Konstantin Komarov, CEO. 

  

Key Features & Benefits:

• Full Windows OS Support - Guaranteed support for any Windows operating system since Win2K (excluding server editions).
• P2V Migration - Migrate a physical system to a virtual machine.
• Migration without rebooting Windows - Hot processing of locked (in-use) hard disks lets you migrate a computer without rebooting and interrupting Windows.
• P2V Adjust OS to recover the startup ability after unsuccessful virtualization with a 3rd party tool and to make Windows Vista/7 backups bootable on virtual hardware.
• Smart Driver Injector - Makes the process of adding new drivers smooth and easy.
• Performance – Paragon Go Virtual performs approximately 20% faster (your results may vary).
• Selection of virtual hardware – Go Virtual offers the user a selection of virtual hardware types. Freeware tools typically do not.
• Migration of offline systems - Freeware tools support the migration of operating systems currently running, but they have problems migrating offline operating systems, especially when there are more than one OS on the disk. Go Virtual performs these operations with ease.

Paragon Virtualization Manager also enables you to revive old environments with Windows OS (versions since Win2K) in a virtual machine with the help of the P2V Adjust tool. You can restore the old archive in a virtual machine by any means and then perform OS adaptation.

 

Work with virtual disks from one easy-to-use interface of Virtualization Manager, without starting a virtual machine: migrate from one virtual environment to another (V2V), exchange data between your physical environment and the virtual one, perform any partitioning operations and more.
