Berlin-based O&O Software and their North American partner Laplink Software, Inc. announce a new joint product: operating system independent restoration of data images onto any hardware.

In the Security World area at CeBIT 2010 (Hall 11, Stand A32) as well as their current product range, Berlin-based O&O Software will also be introducing a brand new licensing model for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). For just a small monthly fee, SMBs receive the entire O&O Software GmbH product portfolio in one pack. This complete solution for data and system management increases network performance, images, rescues data and supports Administrators. The price also includes updates to the newest versions of all the products.

Data security is a top-priority for every administrator these days, but until now it was also extremely time-consuming securing and backing up individual machines. The O&O Enterprise Management Console 3 is the network management tool for O&O products. In combination with the newly-integrated O&O DiskImage 5, administrators can now make security images of drives and entire computers across their networks without having to leave their own desks.

O&O DiskImage doesn’t however just secure data, but whole computers too. Restoring an image means the old computer setup is quickly brought back to life, regardless of whether it is onto the computer where the image was created or onto another machine. O&O DiskImage 5 can restore a system image or duplicate onto both identical hardware and onto different hardware, for instance where the Motherboard or the Processor has been changed. When moving to another computer, the old system configuration with all settings is transferred to the new system. Thanks to the O&O DiskImage 5 Boot CD based on Windows PE – a self-contained operating system – users can also swap defective drivers or modify dead systems so that they boot up once more. This function is even possible without having to recover an image created using O&O DiskImage 5. As with previous versions, central network control of the software is made easy by the O&O Enterprise Management Console 3.

Protecting your data constantly against danger is not half as time-consuming as it sounds. The easiest method is making a manual copy. However, this not only takes up a lot of space, but also a lot of time as every single change has to be manually backed up. Technically adept users therefore opt for a Backup Software that does the copying automatically. An image of a computer does many things that all these copying methods cannot. It backs up files, programs and settings, yet requires much less space than a copy and is much quicker, saving time too. Should a user experience sudden loss of data or a defective operating system, their usual computer environment can be restored simply and quickly with no need for time-consuming new installations of the operating system and applications.

The user can refine these settings using the Profiles function, in order for instance when starting-up to make sufficient memory available for programs or games that require a lot of memory, thus speeding up their application.

How will the computer be protected against viruses and similar internet threats? And how can data be securely deleted from an old computer before it's given away? Doing these things used to take a lot of time and energy, and required no small amount of technical finesse. With PC Lifecycle 2010, there's now an effective and easy to use assistant available to help the user in all phases of a PC's life: because, as its name describes, PC Lifecycle really does cover the entire range of a PC's life cycle.
