No matter how much RAM or other hardware you shove in to your case, no computer system is immune from it. That’s right…a computer crash. Any system can burst at the seems with the high performance of our Web 2.0 world. It’s nice to have the knowledge to know that even though your system might crash, at least you don’t have to arrive back at your desk to a glaring blue screen.
The Kick-Off connects into your USB port, keeping a constant tab on your hardware performance. So what does the Kick-Off do that we can’t do ourselves? Let’s say the computer system that controls the network in your house were to crash, yet the resident nerd wasn’t home to fix it (probably at a anime convention). The Kick-off automatically reboots your system and even goes as far to cause a power off/on switch if needed.
For $179, the Kick-Off can be yours. Keeping your business up and running, connected to those series’ of tubes known as the internet. A bargain for any business who knows what down time feels like. — Andrew Dobrow
