Interested to know about DDS - Disk Diskless Solutions? Click the links below to take you there.

DDS is a Linux based solution that uses iSCSI technology to bring an entirely new range of solutions, flexibility and cost reductions to businesses. The feature of DDS is a server based network where software applications and programs are held on the server, and runs on Client PCs (Diskless Node). Therefore, Client PCs do not require a hard disk anymore. Centralizing operating system data by deploying DDS enables storage virtualization at the level of the local hard drive, and allows extremely fast server and desktop deployment. This makes DDS an ideal network management software which is suitable for all kinds of networked environment industries such as Education Institutions, Training Centers, Offices, Cybercafé, Karaoke, and can also be used in cluster computing.
Until today, administrators or technical support staffs are still having frustrations when it comes to troubleshooting and maintaining a group of networked PCs. The majority of problems faced by administrator or technical support staff in a networking environment are:-
- Programs/Applications/Games/Windows Updates to all PCs
- Maintain different PC specification
- Efficiency and Troubleshooting of PCs
- Identifying faulty hardware and replacements
- Hard disk limitation and upgrades
- Virus attacks and Virus removal
- Operating System Backup / Restoration
- Windows / Files Protection
- Freeze/Unfreeze PCs when doing updates (Recovery system)
Listed below are some quick facts if you use DDS:
COST SAVING IN:
- Investment for hard disk and future hard disk upgrade
- Server Operating System license (DDS uses Linux OS on its servers)
- Monthly electricity bill, go Green
- Recovery software / hardware
- Backup / cloning software and other update software
- Antivirus / Anti Trojan software
- Faulty hard disks replacements
TIME SAVING IN:
- Programs/Applications/Games/Windows Update to all PCs
- PC maintenance enabling easy manage on multiple branches remotely
- Virus attacks and Virus removal
- Windows / Files Protection
- Maintaining different specification PCs
- Operating System Backup / Restoration
- Freeze/Unfreeze (Recovery system)
SUPPORT:
- Different Client PC specification with different drivers (Motherboard / Display / Sound / etc)
- Multi Restore Points
- Multi Sync between Servers
- Multiple Images – Multiple Window / Linux OS in the server. (Example: 10PC using English Windows + 10PC Malay Windows + 10PC Chinese Windows)

Free Server OS Licensing Linux Operating System is totally free from licensing problems unlike other server retail OS.
Less Maintenance, Cost & Time Imagine doing all your updates to only one PC whereas the others will get them all?
Recovery Upon Reboot (RUR) Recovery card? That is OLD technology. Recovery software? That will cost you for every PC you use. DDS "RUR" feature is prebuilt within DDS ensures that any harm done to the client PC will be undone once client PC reboots.
DDS Multi-Driver (DMD) Afraid your PC specification isn't compatible with DDS? "DMD" feature supports all kinds of Client PC's specification, able to work with different motherboards, display adapters, sound cards, webcam and etc.
DDS Multi-Image (DMI) "DMI" feature enable DDS server to boot on multiple versions of Windows / Linux OS / Languages to support different needs.
DDS Multi-Restore (DMR) "DMR" feature will create restore point for every updates done on the master hard disk.
DDS Multi-Sync (DMS) Synchronizing between servers can be so easy with "DMS" feature, so it can be use to create additional / backup servers. |
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Cost for harddisk? ~ Nope ~ Harddisk upgrade / replace? ~ Nope ~ This means no more future investment needed!
Load Balancer feature and "ZERO" Down Time During the booting of client PCs, it automatically selects the least network load server. With 2 or more servers running simultaneously ensures that if situation like hardware failure on one server, second server will take over all the operations.
No recovery software/ hardware/ backup/ cloning needed "RUR" feature to the rescue!
Immune to Virus and Trojan With "RUR" feature, all client PCs will reset back to original mode hence thoroughly eliminate any virus attack and hacking.
Accelerated network performance DDS utilize the enhancement driver transmission protocol to increase the performance of client PCs. With this feature, client PCs are performing at an incomparable speed.
DDS supports RAID technology Supports RAID0 for high hard disk performance.
Help Planet Earth, go Green Save our green planet by not using Hard Disk Drive, generate less heat, pay less electricity bills, and travel less due to the easiness on maintaining. |
Generally, DDS works in a very simple way as shown on the picture on the left. There will be a set of DDS Servers, labeled as DDS Server 1 and DDS Server 2. These 2 servers will be connected to a Switch where all the Client PCs/Workstations are connected to.
When switching on a PC or a Workstation, the PC/Workstation will boot from DDS Servers through the network instead of a hard disk. In short, all the data reading and writing will be performed on the servers. Logically, this may make you think "Won't this be slower?" Worry not because DDS utilizes an enhanced driver transmission protocol which guarantees that the PCs/Workstations are performing at an incomparable speed. A set of (2) servers are recommended to run only a total amount of 100 PCs or lesser.
