Press Release Body = January 2007 - San Jose
Paragon Software Group, the leading provider of innovative, reliable technologies
and software solutions in the field of storage management and data safety, today
announced the launch of Paragon Deployment Manager 8.5 System Builder Edition - a
solution that performs rapid and reliable Windows deployment. This solution,
designed for System Builders and PC Manufacturers provides a unique and efficient
way to roll-out a preconfigured image of the operation system and installed
applications to hundreds or thousands of new PCs and create a set of brand new
fully-featured, ready-to-work PC configurations in a short time.

This unique combination of technologies is gathered in one product for the first
time ever, including:
. Paragon's disk imaging technologies,
. Remote PC booting either with PXE server (via wakeup online) or bootable CDs (
Linux, Windows PE or DOS based)
. Reliable Multicast Client
. Vista Support

"System Builders today face the pressing challenge of introducing new PCs in the
market with customized software configuration, and they need to do it fast," - said
Jeffrey W. Hyman, president of Paragon Software Group's US division. "With our
unique Multicast Console and bootable Multicast Clients, System Builders can easily
establish a fast, simple workflow that can cover just about any deployment
situation."

Additional Features include:

. Reliability - Proven technology based on over 10 years of experience with disk
imaging technology.
. Enhanced Speed - Image multicasting dramatically reduces deployment time as it
delivers one image to many targets at the same time. The deployment process can
include a Post-Config stage to customize new PCs.
. Ease of Use - Extremely simple and easy-to-use interface and 1-2-3 Wizards allows
IT specialists to create new multicast sessions within a few minutes. No previous
experience is necessary!
. Complete Customization - Paragon's Boot Media Builder and bootable Multicast
client can be customized to suit any requirements and/or network infrastructure. The
Linux/DOS/Windows® PE based Recovery CDs allows System Builders to select the
environment that works best for their specific situation.
