MacVillage.net Mac PR boxIT Solution Secures Macs in the Enterprise Company Name: systeMacs Company URL: http://www.systeMacs.com Released On: Sunday, July 7, 2002 Macintosh Given a Lift in Enterprise Computing New Software Product for Macs Offers Faster Deployment, Disaster Recovery Capabilities Previously Seen Only In PC World MOUNTAIN VIEW, California. –July 9, 2002– systeMacs, the Mac enterprise computing experts, today announced the release of boxIT, a new software product that allows Macintosh computers to have system software and applications instantly installed from a remote computer, in addition to unprecedented backup and restore functionality for Macs. With boxIT, a disk image of a customized Mac with a properly configured operating system and applications is copied to an external FireWire, USB or SCSI device. This image can be deployed to an unlimited number of user computers simultaneously. When problems occur, the user or IT support person can restore this image in less than one hour. These capabilities have never before been available to Macintosh users. "systeMacs has been working as consultants with enterprise-level Macintosh users since 1986, and this is a product many of our clients needed," said Ken Easterby, president and co-founder of systeMacs. "boxIT adds a functionality to Mac-based networks that previously was only available in the PC world. It not only cuts total cost of ownership (TCO), but it will help our clients maintain their mission-critical applications." Using boxIT, system software and applications can be installed on a Mac – or multiple Macs -- in less than one hour. Under normal conditions, this process can take from three to five hours per computer. It is expected that boxIT will initially be used by many companies to deploy Mac OS X. systeMacs clients expect significant cost savings from boxIT not only due to a drastic decrease in time spent installing new users and upgrading existing ones, but also due to a much faster disaster recovery process. boxIT has already been beta tested with several systeMacs clients and has been met with enthusiastic reviews. "Using the boxIT solution, I was able to restore my failed OS X E-commerce web server in 15 minutes," said Urundi Sanchez, CEO of LiteCode Technologies. "Without the custom image from systeMacs it would have taken me 10 hours or more to rebuild my server. boxIT saved me thousands of dollars, and I would recommend it to anyone who owns Macs."
