ActiveHDD Basic


Computers can be time and labour saving devices. Whether it's writing and editing documents, tracking business finances, surfing the Internet, or downloading the latest music tracks, they are a convenience that most people have grown to love.

But along with that convenience can come problems. Nearly every computer user has, at one time or another, experienced issues such as viruses and other malware, the dreaded Blue Screens of Death, inexplicable shutdowns, illegal operations, frozen computers, or a myriad of other computer related problems.

Computers used in high traffic areas, such as those in schools, public libraries, and cybercafes, are even more prone to these kinds of issues and the inconveniences and errors that they cause, such as missing system files or a system that's infected with adware or trojans. System administrators can spend much of their precious time cleaning up infections and even reinstalling operating systems as part of their daily routine.

With the ActiveHDD Basic card plugged into a free PCI slot in your computer, you don't have to worry about any of these issues any more. All you need to do is reboot your computer and it is as good as new!
   
     

ActiveHDD Pro


The ActiveHDD Pro is the "Big Brother" of the ActiveHDD Basic card. It is a powerful hardware solution that can instantly recover a damaged computer system, whether caused by unwanted modifications, hacking, viruses, or corrupted drivers. It doesn't matter if you're new to computers or a busy systems administrator - just reboot the computer and the protected system and data will work properly again.

It's that easy.
   

     

Functions & Features
     
   
When first set up, ActiveHDD uses only 5KB of hard disk space; over time, it can use up to a maximum of 1.33MB of hard disk space for its core data.
   
A Dynamic Virtual Hard Disk Drive (DVHDD) is created and managed by ActiveHDD in protected partitions for saving new data. ActiveHDD supports a DVHDD of upto 1207GB, ideal for a computer running Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 server. ActiveHDD ensures that the defragmentation routines can be run and that large volumes of data can be saved on any protected partition.
   
The VE (Virtual Environment) function is ideal for government and business use, institutes, homes, and the military. When any partition is protected, all new data written to that hard drive will be treated as new data.
   
The anti-hacking function is ideal for cyber cafes, computer labs in schools and colleges, public libraries, and any other computers used by multiple users in high traffic areas. When a hacker deletes system information on the guarded partitions and reboots the computer, ActiveHDD will go into security check mode. The operating system can only be booted when a manager or administrator inputs the correct serial-number and password.
   
Remote control: with the bundled free software - EZControl - the administrator could remotely control all client PCs in the WAN which have an ActiveHDD card and EZControl installed. S/he can power a machine on/off, distribute files, and control the recovery card.
   
Net Clone: the admin can clone data from a whole HDD or specific partitions into client computers.
   
Windows operation interface: with the free EZConfig software, users can control the ActiveHDD card via a graphical Windows interface.
