One button recovery
--> Reduce time for support calls
Rescue and Recovery includes easy-to-access diagnostic tools, as well as an instant view of key system information such as BIOS setup, operating system, machine type and serial number, that can help expedite a support call if required. Get help, by being connected
Rescue and Recovery provides a Web browser to help you access online support13 resources even if the primary operating system won't boot. This function can be customized by an IT department for direct access to the company's preloaded or online support information to help reduce help desk calls and desk-side support. More than just lost file recovery
Rescue and Recovery recovers files,
Office 2010 Pro Plus, folders or even your entire previously-saved system image, including data, applications and operation system. The File Rescue utility can help retrieve files that were not backed up prior to the problem and save them to a storage device. The backup and recovery function, now more efficient,
Windows 7 Discount, requires less hard drive space than the previous version and supports a broad range of external devices for recovering information,
Microsoft Office Pro 2007, including CD, DVD, network, second hard drive and USB hard drives. If your hard drive needs replacement due to mechanical failure,
Microsoft Office 2007, Rescue and Recovery can only help you restore your system if you have made regular backups to an external device. A full system recovery can occur often in under 20 minutes depending on the size of your image (recovery time depends upon your system's configuration and the size of your image; your results may vary). This helps save IT manager's time and resources and can be especially helpful to a mobile user far from the office.
Designed for simplified deployment
Rescue and Recovery can be customized to support IT policies and remotely deployed over a network,
Windows 7 Pro, or included in an installed image. Policies to exclude unwanted file types from your selection — such as e-mail that can be replicated online, audio, video or other large files that can be retrieved elsewhere — can dramatically reduce the time and space required for backups. Backups are securely stored without the need to create a separate partition on the hard disk.
Virtualization Technology with Antidote Delivery Manager
The Virtualization Technology (VT) feature is available in certain new Intel processors in select ThinkCentre M52 desktops. VT provides the ability to virtualize hardware layers to the operating system. It replicates and projects an ethernet driver indentical to Microsoft® Windows® and the Rescue and Recovery pre-OS environment, and runs a separate, locked down core in parallel to the primary OS running a firewall and router function. For the IT administrator, this new feature provides significant control and the ability to filter network traffic from Windows or the Rescue and Recovery pre-OS, for significantly better control of the client end-points and more flexibility in deploying antidote packages. It also denies a method of attack for viruses and worms, as well as offering a method of network node validation.
