Vancrest Health Care Centers Selecting Paragon HDD Manager

Paragon Software Group announced that Vancrest Health Care Centers selected HDD Manager for backup, recovery and disk management for the entire organization comprised of nine separate facilities across Ohio.

It is a software suite that offers system imaging as well as file-based backup for DR, to protect data, minimize downtime, and lower storage and management costs while ensuring BC through near-instant system recovery. The software suite includes a set of disk management tools for live server migration and virtualization (P2V, V2P, V2V, and P2P), partitioning and alignment, along with secure disk wiping.

After online research and hands-on evaluations of top-tier backup and recovery vendors, Eric Burk, director of technology services, Vancrest, decided upon HDD Manager.

“We studied a lot of different product reviews to develop a short list of prospective vendors. Paragon’s suite fit all of our needs and was competitively priced,” said Burk. “Our spot testing was very successful; I would recommend Paragon’s solution to other colleagues who are looking for a great product that comes with fantastic tech support.”

“We pride ourselves in offering products that are feature-rich to meet our customers’ diverse sets of requirements, but still easy to use when disaster strikes and IT operations must be restored in short order. Unlike other BDR vendors, Paragon Tech Support is U.S.-based and consists of true engineers – not a help desk with a script,” said Daniel Eickhoff, director of channel sales, Paragon.

Solution providers and resellers also benefit from the level of customer and technical support and the ‘white glove’ attitude that the company is known for.

For corporate IT departments and help desk operations, it’s an all-in-one disk management utility, allowing IT administrators to maintain physical and virtual Windows systems throughout their life cycle with minimal effort.

The HDM technician license is a tool for companies with support teams that are maintaining a large number of systems in the field, these include medical monitoring or high-tech equipment manufacturers; large organizations with a highly distributed environment like financial institutions or large restaurant chains. Many customers combine technician licenses with per-seat and volume licenses for maximum coverage and investment flexibility. Others use the license to complement their legacy, often file-based backup solution that is missing DR capabilities that it can provide.

For independent IT consultants and the services groups of VARs or SIs, the license saves them time and helps them increase service revenues and margins.
