Self-Healing Technology - FreshStart^TM

The typical home or office computer can be a demanding piece of machinery. While it offers the promise of increased productivity and communication capability, while performing those tasks it also can expose the user to viruses and may be vulnerable to all kinds of malicious attacks that can cripple those critical capabilities. A multi-user machine, like the ones usually found in a hotel business center, will compound all of these serious issues.

VSi uses its proprietary self-healing technology to create FreshStart,™ an effective and simple solution to this problem in its Automated Business Centers. With a FreshStart™-enabled machine every user has what in essence is a new computer with the original operating system, selected applications, and customized settings. If the previous user had either inadvertently or on purpose downloaded a virus, Trojan horse, been subject to a malicious hack or other problem, it is solved instantaneously on the FreshStart™-enabled machine. With the touch of a button, the user has received a renewed machine.

From a security standpoint, that also means it is no longer possible to "leave" a confidential document on the public machine. A FreshStart™-enabled system also eliminates expensive and time-consuming IT support to troubleshoot and rebuild a damaged system, cutting system downtime and saving the hotel money by both generating revenue and avoiding staff expenses.

FreshStart^TM Key Features

Zero maintenance and support

FreshStart™ ensures that any user-installed non-standard programs (such as cookies, viruses and sniffers) that might jeopardize system or user security, and cause ongoing support and maintenance issues, are deleted upon user log out, and a fresh copy of the computer's vital systems is restored. Additionally, if the user is having technical problems with a FreshStart™-enabled computer, the user can simply reboot the system, instantly restoring application/operating system integrity, and full functionality.

FreshStart™ works in the background to ensure that each machine is protected from security breaches, viruses and unintentional damage. There is no disruption to the user, who does not need to learn anything new, or modify anything to interact with the system. It does not affect PC functionality, and allows the user to enjoy all the benefits of a PC with additional protection against virus attacks.

And of course, should any problems arise, VSi 24/7 toll-free customer support is available to guide the user back to productivity.
