Description

Z!BootOS is a network based disk virtualization solution that comes with powerful client and disk management console. Regardless of the operating system installed, any type of system disk can be easily converted into a disk image and stored in the server just with a few clicks. Once the images are stored, end-users can boot up their computers with any of these images. Their boot-up disk can be assigned or they can freely select the disk they want to boot up with.

There is no performance degradation since the data streaming is done on on-demand-bassis. The manager no longer have to deal with end-users' system issues directly, and with the management console, tedious, time consuming maintenance work can be done as simple as a few clicks. Some of the features include remote desktop service, script runner, eco power management and statistics. On our consumer reports it is proved that TCO (total cost of ownership) of IT assets maintenance has been reduced greatly. A direct competitor is Citrix PVS (Provisioning Server).
