17.05.2012/900/XNUMX - New Wireless Dual Band Router NXNUMX relies on fast network-wide access to NTFS-formatted data carriers - with the help of Paragon's file system driver NTFS for Linux.
NETGEAR, a global provider of innovative and technologically sophisticated network solutions for private users, corporate networks and service providers, relies on Paragon technology in the development of its products. The US-based company, which was founded in 1996, embeds the "NTFS for Linux" driver from Paragon Software Group in parts of its Linux-based product lines, and thus also in the new N900 wireless dual band gigabit routers. The products are characterized by NETGEAR's "ReadySHARE®" USB storage access, which enables problem-free communication with Windows-formatted storage devices.
The N900 router offers a combined WLAN speed of up to 900 megabits per second and an improved range of the wireless network. This provides maximum performance with which to handle demanding tasks, such as wirelessly transferring 3D and HD videos, organizing multiplayer games and backing up large files. Paragon NTFS for Linux enables extremely fast access to NTFS-formatted Windows USB hard drives and delivers the highest read and write performance currently on the market. This advantage is of crucial importance when several users of a network simultaneously access data carriers that are connected to the router and formatted with the popular NTFS file system.
Paragon produces comprehensive, high quality software applications for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to improve the functionality and compatibility of OEM products. By leveraging Paragon's core competencies, OEM partners can quickly position their products on the market without spending too much time developing technologies that are outside of their main business area. Paragon's OEM program was developed for partners who are interested in integrating Paragon technologies for disk management and configuration as well as highly flexible file system drivers.
"The number of Internet-enabled devices in the home is increasing," said Sandeep Harpalani, senior wireless networking product line manager for NETGEAR. It has therefore become crucial to provide easily accessible central storage. “With the help of ReadySHARE USB Storage Access, this can be ensured by converting the local USB hard drive into a central storage device. Paragon NTFS for Linux provides the performance improvement required for access to this central USB hard drive - from any PC in the network. "
"The N900 router is state of the art on the market today," says Konstantin Komarov, Managing Director of Paragon Software Group. "We are very pleased that NETGEAR, as our OEM partner, is using our cross-platform UFSD (Universal File System Driver) technology to simplify the operation of its router products for customers and increase their utility."
Advantages of an OEM partnership with Paragon:
- Access to Paragon’s comprehensive line of Disk and Network Management Applications;
- Provision of support and application upgrades is part of the partnership;
- Providing critical value-adding features and competitive specializations for partner products.
Paragon designs and implements fully integrated software solutions for its OEM partners worldwide, making them more competitive in today's marketplace. A market that is characterized by ever tighter product cycles and ever higher demands on the range of functions of products.
