Paragon Software NTFS for Linux: Now Supporting NETGEAR WNR3500L Router

Universal File System Driver
Technology From Paragon Enables Access and File Sharing Between PCs,
Clients and Servers -- Regardless of Operating System

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - December 21, 2009) - In keeping with its commitment to enable
seamless communication between operating systems, Paragon Software Group (PSG),
the technology leader in storage management solutions, today announced
support for the new RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB
(WNR3500L) from NETGEAR®, a worldwide provider of technologically
innovative, branded networking solutions.

Paragon NTFS for Linux will provide full access to a Windows
(NTFS-formatted) hard drive attached to NETGEAR's WNR3500L open source
router -- enabling all clients and servers, regardless of their operating
system, to access and share files to and from the drive via the WNR3500L
router.

"Paragon has enthusiastically responded to NETGEAR's open source router
initiative to provide enhanced capabilities to our user community -- by
embedding a full version (not a trial version) of their Universal File
System Driver (UFSD) technology into our router," said NETGEAR's Som Pal
Choudhury, senior product line manager, advanced wireless division. "This
version of UFSD, called Paragon NTFS for Linux, enables full high
performance read/write access to a Windows (NTFS-formatted) external hard
drive attached to the USB port of the NETGEAR WNR3500L Router, and allows
all PCs, clients and servers on the network, running Windows, Mac, Linux,
etc, to share files to the NTFS-formatted HDD attached to our router --
regardless of their Operating System."

Paragon Software has been chosen to join NETGEAR's Development Partner
Program, which includes select software application vendors that are
creating custom applications for the WNR3500L router that NETGEAR customers
can download. The NETGEAR WNR3500L is supported by a dedicated open source
router community, http://www.myopenrouter.com, which provides open source
firmware downloads, applications, forums, blogs, articles, source code, and
user guides. Members also have access to dedicated and responsive support
from open source experts.

"We are extremely pleased to be asked to join the community of developers
in NETGEAR's Development Partner Program, and to help harness the power of
Open Source," noted Tom Fedro, president for Paragon Software Group.
"Paragon's NTFS for Linux provides full performance, high speed file
sharing to NTFS-formatted USB hard drives, an important feature for NETGEAR
customers that we are happy to provide."
