DataVision 1.1
Clonezilla
Clonezilla Live is intended for use with a single computer while Clonezilla SE can clone more than forty computers at once and is suitable for use in an office setting where many users share a server. Both versions are very efficient due to the fact that they restore and save only those blocks in the hard disk that are actually used. And both versions are surprisingly quick; the SE version can clone a 5.6 GB system to forty computers via masticating in only ten minutes.
Since both versions of Clonezilla support many types of file systems, they can clone MS Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. The SE version uses multicast to restore many computers at once as well as having the ability to remotely do the same thing if Wake-on-LAN and PXE are supported. In addition, this free software can restore or save an entire disk, not just partitions.
Whether you have just one computer or you're IT support for a company with several dozen on a network, Clonezilla is an easy to use and cost effective solution to backup and recovery.
Alfresco 2.1
Alfresco offers document and knowledge management, records and web content management, imaging, collaboration tools and workflow orchestration. These ECM capabilities are all stored in the same scalable repository. This is a distinct advantage over other ECM products, most of which need multiple repositories for support. The repository can replace shared network drives, which pose their own problems.
Alfresco provides simple to use Wizards and the rules and actions for all interfaces are managed in the server. These features significantly aid productivity and ease of use. The intelligent virtual file system is simple to use and Alfresco has superior search and folder-browsing capabilities.
For collaboration, there are per-configured smart-space templates and forums using threaded discussions. Users will find it easy to share information and ideas and many less false starts learning the software.
Alfresco is a fairly new offering, with a long list of new features and upgrades still being developed. But for ease of use and ECM attributes, Alfresco seems to be superior to most other products. It takes less than an hour for a user to learn the software and customize it to their requirements and preferences. French and German are among the languages other than English that are supported.
