The Need
With the electronic revolution taking over our lives , security and maintenance problems has become a major issue of concern.
Computer usage , internet and network security all require a reliable and secure method of authentication and maintenance to eliminate the threat of losing time and money.
The Magic Card
offers a reliable, inexpensive, user friendly and effective solution , and the technology provides a flexible platform from which to address this need on a number of different levels both as a product as well as a service.
Just add on the Magic Card on a free ISA / PCI slot and
you are protected . No matter how you delete or format the hard disk , just reboot the computer and the data is restored back to its original status . Besides , even if CMOS was modified , Magic Card can auto-detect and restore it instantly.
Computers in schools suffer from maintenance problems that other organizations do not have.
Computers are purchased from donations and funds that are allocated for the purchasing only and not for maintenance purposes.
The personnel that are in charge of the maintence are not trained to do so.
Computer Users:
Young Children with high level of motivation to try and delete or format the computer causing it to be out of order.
Studentsd that use computers as workstations for word processing for term papers, circulate viruses by copying data from floppy diskettes to the local harddrive.
Relatively large hard drives fill up quickly due to downloaded software from the internet.
Problems:
Computers down time is high.
Disks are full causing the computers to dysfunction.
Teachers revert to old teaching methods and not using the computer as a teaching tool.
No control over computer configuration.
High level of technician calls
School principal has to devote a large amount of time to handling computer issues.
Cancellation of classes due to fault computers
The Solution!
“Locking” the computer in such a way that prevents the user from altering the configuration.
Two Types of Solutions:
Software - installation of a software program that does not permit the user to change configuration.
- A major disadvantage of all software solutions is that when booting from a diskette or from a CD the software is bypassed.
Hardware - PCI card that sits on the motherboard and provides the same solution.
- starts working after the bios and before the operating system. Main advantage with this solution is that the user cannot disable the card thus providing a higher level of protection.
The Magic Card is the only simple, most efficient approach via hardware installation of a PCI or ISA card.
