Centon Selects Paragon Migrate OS to SSD Software

Backup and hard disk management software developer Paragon Software Group (PSG) announced that Centon Electronics Inc. selected Paragon Migrate OS to SSD software for inclusion in its SSD Notebook kits packaged with their SSDs.

It provides migration of system data including the OS, data files and applications to Centon’s SSDs.

"After testing another party’s software with our SSDs we decided to look for a more intuitive software solution," said Aaron Campbell, product marketing manager for Centon Electronics. "I had worked with Paragon in the past, asked for a copy to test, and it worked perfectly. It was simple, quick and accurate. Exactly the solution we were searching for."

The task of transferring (a.k.a. migrating) a software environment (the OS, applications and files) to another storage device can be a slow and painful process. Migrate OS to SSD 2.0 simplifies the migration process by providing a wizard-driven interface. It automatically downsizes the source system volume, if needed; auto-aligns the copied system partition; and provides intelligent selection of specific files and folders for migration – without rebooting the system.

"Paragon was very responsive and more than willing to work with us even though we were not a large corporation," continued Campbell. "The customer and technical support was excellent and made us feel we were just as important as an International firm."

"When we work with our customers, our goal is to keep them as a Paragon customer for life," said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group. "We are happy to see that as product marketing professionals, IT managers, software engineers, and other highly skilled individuals move from one company to another, that they return to Paragon for our superior software and service. We are happy to count Centon as one of our partners and look forward to a long business relationship."

Features and benefits of Migrate OS to SSD include:

• Upgraded file exclusion technology increases migration speed
• Wizard-driven graphical interface
• Automatic partition resize capability (prevents common issues when migrating system data from an HDD to a smaller SSD)
• Automatic partition alignment awareness (to prevent redundant read/write operations)
• Microsoft Reserved Partition awareness
• File exclusion/selection capability
• Hot copy, without system restart
• Migration process regardless of the OS
