Recovery Console

The KBOX 2000 series offers a recovery console in the form of a network bootable Knoppix environment. With this, it is able to provide remote recovery of corrupted systems that are unable to boot to the local hard drive. In the case of wanting to perform completely remote drive imaging operations, you can instruct systems to boot to this recovery console and then remote control them using VNC (see image below) so that you may handle drive image tasks interactively.

This, like the imaging feature, offers support for both Windows and Linux systems. In addition to the Knoppix pre-installation environment provided out of the box, others such as Windows PE and Bart's PE are also supported.
 

Within this environment, you may use an integrated remote control control agent to perform tasks without the need to visit the physical machine in trouble. Again dependant upon PXE, this solutions allows for agentless remote recovery of any LAN connected desktop, laptop or server.

There are a number of included browsers, viewers, and basic management tools in the provided Knoppix image, which you may add to if those provided due not suit your particular needs.
