Paragon Software Group has announced a Windows 8 Migration and Deployment bundle, which features the Paragon Hard Disk Manager (HDM) 14 Technician’s Edition, combined with the company’s Deployment Manager 11 offering, It will be available to IT managers and Paragon Pure Channel partners.
“IT managers constantly wrestle with the challenges of technology changes across their IT landscape, and many of them now are facing Windows 8 migration,” said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group Corporation. “The reality is, not all Windows 8 migration and deployment tools are keeping up with today’s requirements, and that’s why we’re introducing the bundle – to give our channel partners and customers a solution that is proven to help them effectively transition to the new operating system with minimal time and effort.”
According to industry reports, Windows 8 is now running on more than 14 percent of the world’s desktop and notebook systems, and the adoption rate has been on the rise in recent months. The Paragon Windows 8 Migration and Deployment bundle addresses IT managers’ points of pain by offering an end-to-end solution to their migration needs. With the industry’s most complete array of disk imaging, migration, system optimization and disk utilities, the new bundle also delivers powerful features, such as single push management, which allows execution of migration and deployment processes across hundreds of machines simultaneously.
HDM14 provides customers the ability to image an existing system and deploy that image on a new or different hard disk drive, solid state disk or other Windows 8 hardware device.
“The previous migration solution we used lacked the latest functionality and support needed to successfully image and deploy Windows 8 machines,” said Robert DeVault, IT supervisor with MC Assemblies. “Now, with Paragon offering us the ability to image straight from a boot disk, our migration initiative is on the fast track and we couldn’t be happier with the results.”
