Dell VPLEX vs. Paragon Hard Disk Manager

This works in two fold. First it creates a copy of the data in two locations, protecting the data from a SAN or a NAS failure. Second, it provides a data point in a second location that can be used as storage for a stretched virtual cluster, giving a virtual stack a means to continue operation.

Paragon Hard Disk Manager is suitable for use by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The graphical user interface helps to make the software easy to use, even by those with limited computer/technical knowledge and skills. The software will likely meet most, if not all, of the backup requirements of SMEs.

• Requires high bandwidth low latency connectivity between sites.
• Cost wise it is expensive because you have to purchase with a mirror in mind.
• Configuration can be difficult.

When this was purchased there was no other product that could achieve what we were looking for, now this feature is pretty standard with storage platforms. It is a costly solution not just the hardware but the infrastructure to support it. It requires a connection between sites with at least 3 gigabytes per second and sub 5 millisecond latency and a network infrastructure capable of handling that

Incentivized

Paragon has much more flexibility to manipulate partitions and clone drives

Incentivized

• Reduced down time.
• Provides business continuity.
• Reduces single point of failure on the SAN.

Incentivized

• Paragon Hard Disk Manager makes creating regular incremental backups straightforward. The ease of configuring the software to automatically perform backup jobs increases the likelihood that we will follow through with our backup strategy, thus protecting our data.
• Any loss of important data would potentially be catastrophic to our business. Paragon Hard Disk Manager minimizes this risk.
• The software's ease of use also means we can focus more on our core business activities (and spend less time and effort on data backups).
