| Overview
Today's existing backup and recovery solutions do not prevent computer
down time efficiently. Procedures such as image cloning, policy
restrictions and "undo solutions" require complex configuration
and operation. This places limitations on user flexibility by blocking
access to files and directories, and consumes vast amounts of resources
(handling time, HDD space, RAM and computer performance).
Radix developed the "Instant Recovery"
system to enable users to recover their own computers easily, quickly
and completely, by entering a single command. This prevents disruptive
down time required for troubleshooting, eliminates endless service
calls and hours of restoration of back-up files, and ends wasted
human resource time reconfiguring complex setups, all without adversely
affecting productivity.
By implementing Radix's solutions, IT Administrators
can significantly reduce computer down time and business losses,
thereby increasing the amount of time and human resources that can
be allocated to more critical and higher priority tasks.
Radix vs. Image cloning
| HDD Image Cloning
|
Radix Protector |
| Backup Image is exposed to crashes, viruses, deletion, tampering,
misuse or other hazards. |
Original system state is securely stored in client's
HDD, accessible using administrator password only. |
| IT administrator needs to maintain a library of hundreds HDD
images. |
Custom HDD "image" is securely stored
in each client's HDD. |
| Complicated procedure of routine image update, hardware hookup
is required (CDR, HDD, Tape) for every PC |
Easy "image" update. Backup and recovery
is done by a single command. |
| 2-3 hours (average) recovery time, including waiting for service
and HDD cloning time, depended on HDD capacity. |
Instant recovery (less than a minute) regardless
of the HDD capacity. |
| No prevention of computers downtime. |
Computer downtime is prevented. |
| No protection/recovery for CMOS Setup data. |
Instant backup/recovery for CMOS data. |
Radix vs. Undo solutions
| Undo

Radix
Protector |
| Complex installation configuration and operation |
Easy installation, configuration and operation |
| Heavy consumption of PC resources (20% speed
drop, 30%-50%, HDD space, etc.) |
Consumes only negligible computer resources
(2% speed drop, 3% HDD space) |
| Backup image is exposed to user's misuses, accidents or sabotage |
Backup image is secured from misuse, accidents, sabotage or
other causes, accessible only to administrator (protected by
password) |
| Protection starts only after Windows boot
up |
Protection start after BIOS boot (prior
to HDD boot up process) |
| No support for multi boot HDD (more than a single operating
systems installed on s single HDD) |
Supports multi boot partitions (up to 24 operating systems)
|
| No protection/recovery for CMOS Setup data |
Fully controlled from remote location |
| Remote operation/control is not possible. |
Target users: All |

| High-speed computers required, yet poor performance is achieved. |
Average medium speed low cost computers will do. |
| A powerful (expensive) server PC and high
speed network infrastructure are required |
An average low cost network server PC and
low cost network infrastructure will do. |
| One point failure (server PC, Hub, storage, etc.) disables
the entire classroom. (All linked computer are stop functioning). |
In case of a server crash or network infrastructure failure,
students still able to work "off line" on their "stand
alone" computers. |
| High total cost per classroom |
Lower total cost per classroom |
