Bringing visual mapping features to

product is the first mapping product
to integrate with Operation Manager.

visual, map-based views of their IT

strategic, top-level view for the CIO to a functional, operational
perspective for a network
administrator. For more information,

Backup and Recovery
Real-time Mirroring, Synchronization, and
Backups on Windows
RAID-1 capabilities are typically available only in hardware, which is expensive.
Techsoft offers a less expensive alternative with MirrorFolder 4.1, a real-time
mirroring and synchronization application
that backs up files from a local Windows
drive to any local, removable, or network
drive. In RAID-1 mode, MirrorFolder creates
a real-time, bootable backup of your
hard drive on another local drive. Mirror-
Folder works on Windows Vista, Windows
Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows
2000 Server servers. For more information,
