<strong>Paragon</strong> <strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong><br />
ver. 3<br />
Centralized Backup and Disaster Recovery for virtual and physical environments<br />
Tight Integration with hypervisors for agentless backups, VM replication and<br />
seamless restores<br />
<strong>Paragon</strong> <strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> is an innovative and comprehensive<br />
backup and disaster recovery solutions, as it combines<br />
backup and recovery for virtual servers and workstations as<br />
well as well as physical servers and workstations in a single<br />
product, offering protection for an organization’s entire IT<br />
infrastructure. Its transparent backup administration stores<br />
backups according to company requirements and archives<br />
them in second-tier storages or in the cloud. The administrator<br />
uses a central management console and policies to manage<br />
all backups as well as their storage and archiving.<br />

True distributed/role-based architecture<br />
Distribute the individual functions of <strong>Paragon</strong> <strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong><br />
to the places within your network which make the most<br />
sense. Separating the program modules and installing them<br />
on different devices within the network relieves the burden on<br />
individual servers and shortens the paths between the computers<br />
that are being backed up and the backup storage.<br />

Make backups and replicas with a single product<br />
<strong>Paragon</strong> <strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> supports many different backup<br />
and restore scenarios, including backup of physical servers<br />
and workstations, agentless backup of ESX clients, and ESX<br />
replications, and, of course, both file-based and sector-based<br />
backups are supported. All of the above tasks can be scheduled<br />
and managed from the same centralized console. All<br />
backup and retention policies are conffigured, monitored and<br />
executed within a single program interface. This makes it unnecessary<br />
to install agents for ESX clients for either backups<br />
or restores.<br />
<strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> Server<br />
The <strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> Server consists of an Administration and<br />
an Installation Server<br />
Administration server:<br />
This is the main service within the architecture, where resource<br />
distribution is managed and the backup policies are configured<br />
and monitored.<br />
Installation server:<br />
This service is in charge of monitoring and executing the deployment<br />
of product components, agents and server applications.<br />
The installation server also handles product updates<br />
and updates to the <strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> database.<br />
<strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> ESX Bridge<br />
The ESX Bridge is used for communication with the VMware<br />
infrastructure.
<strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> Backup Server<br />
The Backup Server is installed in a strategic location as an additional<br />
module. Once it’s been launched, it connects with the<br />
<strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> Server and monitors storages of all replications<br />
and backups, as well as all retention policies.<br />
<strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> Console<br />
The <strong>Protect</strong> & <strong>Restore</strong> Console is the product’s main user interface<br />
and provides access to all control functions. It also indicates<br />
the status of the system as well as the backups and replications<br />
in easy-to-read views. The console can be conveniently<br />
accessed from any machine within the network.<br />

Licensing<br />
Windows Workstation licensed per physical machine<br />
Perpetual License incl. 1 year of maintenance<br />
(Upgrade Assurance & Extended Support)<br />
Windows Server licensed per physical machine<br />

VM Edition licensed per CPU socket<br />
Perpetual License incl. 1 year Maintenance<br />
(Upgrade Assurance & Extended Support)<br />
Virtual Machines Edition will be licensed and priced on a per<br />
socket (occupied socket) basis (the number of hosts or virtual<br />
machines does not matter). The number of cores is not being<br />
taken into consideration.<br />
Example: A company is running 12 virtual servers on 3 hosts,<br />
with 4 servers per host. 1 of the hosts is running on a 2 socket<br />
board (both sockets occupied), while the other 2 are running<br />
on 1 socket each. This company would obtain a license for 4<br />
sockets, which will license all 3 hosts regardless of the number<br />
of virtual machines on each host. This gives the user a great<br />
deal of flexibility, as he can “move” VMs from one host to the<br />
other, or spin up or take down VMs without having to update<br />
his license.<br />
