Makes drive-to-drive data migration a breeze
May 19, 2005, South San Francisco, CA
Acronis, Inc., the technological leader in storage management
software, announced that it has released Acronis
Migrate Easy 7.0, the latest in its family of data
migration tools. The product's primary purposes are to clone an old
hard disk drive to a new one, allow the user to install new hard
disk drive as a boot disk or as an additional storage device, and
to re-deploy old hard disks.
Among the new features in this release are a new
user interface similar to that of the company's flagship product
Acronis True Image 8.0; the addition of a new disk wizard
that helps a user to partition and format a new disk; and better
hardware support for parallel ATA (IDE), serial ATA (SATA) and the
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). The software also is able
to wipe data from an old drive after the data has been moved to the
new drive and verified as being usable.
"Although the full feature base of Acronis
Migrate Easy already has been incorporated into our flagship
Acronis True Image disk imaging and backup software,
users have continued to ask us for an upgrade to our dedicated data
migration tool," said Max Tsypliaev. "Acronis
Migrate Easy 7.0 is a response to that request. In
addition, Acronis also has upgraded its OEM version of Acronis
Migrate Easy for systems and disk drive manufacturers.
"Strategically, Acronis
Migrate Easy 7.0 underscores our commitment to provide
the storage and systems management tools that consumers,
businesses, and drive vendors require. Whereas three years ago you
would normally find a 20 GB disk drive in an off-the-shelf consumer
computer, today you'll typically find a 160 GB drive in those
systems. Users with older systems and companies that need to
upgrade storage but don't want to replace their entire desktop
inventory recognize data migration as a cost-effective and natural
approach."
"The response to the upgrades in Acronis
True Image has been tremendous," said Stephen Lawton, director
of marketing at Acronis. "When we incorporated the data migration
features from Acronis Migrate Easy into our backup and
disaster recovery
software, we added significant value to the Acronis True Image
product line value that has not been lost on those with disaster
recovery needs. However, as the price of high-capacity disk drives
continues to fall, users and manufacturers are demanding a
dedicated migration tool, so we are upgrading Acronis
Migrate Easy to meet this burgeoning need.
"The software will be available as a download
from our Web store and, of course, to our hardware OEM partners,"
Lawton added. "Providing quality software and value to our
customers is our first priority. Offering Acronis Migrate Easy
as a stand-alone product addresses that requirement."
Suggest list price of Acronis Migrate Easy 7.0 is
$39.99. It is available at https://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/migrateeasy/.
