New Utility Combines Disk Partitioning, Multiboot Management, Data Recovery, and Sector-level Disk Editing
June 16, 2004, South San Francisco, CA
Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage management
software, announced the launch of Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0.
The package includes the industry's only dual-mode disk
partitioning capabilities for advanced and novice users, multiboot
management, the ability to recover lost or deleted disk partitions
and their data, the ability to edit disk drives at the sector
level, and a unified, Windows XP-like user interface that places
all capabilities of the product on a single screen.
"Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0. is the most
complete disk management and partitioning package available," said
Max Tsypliaev, chief executive officer of Acronis. "It includes all
the essential tools for managing and organizing a disk drive, as
well as providing multiple ways of recovering data in case of a
system failure or data loss.
"Dividing a hard disk into separate partitions
for the operating system, programs and data provides better
organization and, more importantly, much greater data integrity in
the event of a drive failure," Tsypliaev continued. "It also makes
it possible to run more than one operating environment on your
computer."
"Competitive disk utilities are hard to use
because they have a confusing user interface and require the user
to make decisions that could put their data at risk," added Stephen
Lawton, director of marketing for Acronis. "Acronis Disk Director
Suite provides an automated mode with task-based wizards for
partitioning disks that insulates the user completely from the
technology, ensuring that users complete their tasks successfully,
regardless of their technical knowledge or experience.
Additionally, the expert user appreciates the array of options and
flexibility available in the manual mode."
As part of this suite, Acronis is combining its
fully functional disk
partitioning software with its multiboot
manager. "Users told us that they wanted the full scope of disk
management tools in a single package, ranging from automated disk
partitioning and
partition recovery to multiboot functionality and the ability
to edit disks at the sector level. We listened and now provide all
those capabilities from a single, easy-to-use interface," he
continued. "However, we view our products not only as superior
technically, but also from a value perspective. The pricing for
this full suite is the same as it was for just the disk
partitioning software last year."
Exclusive Acronis technology allows the software
to work on any Windows 95 or later or Linux partition, regardless
of the file system. Acronis Disk Director Suite supports FAT16,
FAT32, NTFS, Linux Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFS and Linux SWAP.
Acronis Disk Director Suite 9.0. has a suggested
retail price of $49.99. Customers who purchased Acronis Partition
Expert 2003, Acronis OS Selector 8.0, Acronis Recovery Expert or
Acronis Disk Editor on or after May 15, 2004, may upgrade to the
new version at no charge.
