Konica Minolta launches hybrid Dispatcher Paragon
September 26, 2022
Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe announced that Dispatcher Paragon Cloud is now also available as a hybrid model.
It follows the launch back in February of Dispatcher Paragon Cloud as a pure cloud model for organisations looking to move their print management to the cloud. By moving print infrastructure and management to the cloud with Dispatcher Paragon Cloud, customers can reduce their IT costs and total cost of ownership for print services, improve data and document security, and reduce the burden on their IT departments.
In order to meet individual customer needs, Konica Minolta has decided to offer Dispatcher Paragon Cloud in two options: pure cloud model and hybrid model, with the latter now also available.
Konica Minolta said in its announcement that the hybrid model is the ideal solution for organisations whose data policy is that no data should leave the local corporate network, but who still want to benefit from the numerous advantages that print management in the cloud brings.
With the hybrid model an edge device is interposed between the print devices and the server, linking the print devices to the cloud. This device controls the print jobs and only sends the metadata to the cloud for reporting purposes, but not the print data itself, which remains local.
Since only the metadata is transmitted, this leads to lower network bandwidth consumption and print jobs can be sent to the cloud and processed faster. This makes the hybrid model particularly suitable for organisations in locations with unstable internet access, Konica Minolta added.
As with the pure cloud model, full data encryption is also guaranteed with the hybrid model and, as with the pure cloud model, customers can also move their print management to the cloud in a few minutes, with installation taking a maximum of 15 minutes.
The Dispatcher Paragon Cloud hybrid model is available now.
