Paragon Net Burner

Paragon Net Burner aims to help you access and use an optical drive of another computer in your network. It is intended for situations when your computer does not integrate such a hardware component, allowing you to burn CDs, DVDs or BDs remotely.

Paragon Net Burner is a server-client application, requiring you to configure the firewall (if any) not to block the communication between the client and the server side.

Relying on the iSCSI protocol, the server runs as a service, making all the CD and DVD drives accessible throughout the entire network. Once the iSCSI service is installed, that particular PC becomes recognizable to other network workstations, allowing remote users to make use of the shared device, in this case a CD/DVD-ROM.

Computers that act as clients can easily access these devices and use them just as if they are integrated within the local system.

A computer can create a connection to an existing iSCSI server by specyfing its IP address and the port number to use. All the available remote devices are nicely displayed, allowing you to select the one you want to connect to. The application can assist you in removing existing devices or installing new ones with the help of the built-in wizards, which are designed to guide you throughout the whole procedure.

The new iSCSI targets (shared CD/DVD drives) are automatically mounted to the client PC and can be explored using the new drive that appears in Explorer.

Paragon Net Burner allows multiple users to use shared resources, with a direct impact on the hardware costs. It helps users benefit from the capabilities of a CD / DVD burner, even if their PC is not equipped with such a component.
