Usb Pen Drives In System Administration
A USB Pen Drive is the modern means of secondary storage that normally captures gigabytes of data for effective and reliable storage. Generally a USB Flash Memory or a USB pen drive is seen to provide more efficient storage capacity in the case of system and network administration. System or network administrators use USB pen drives to save or store configuration information or software that are normally used for system maintenance, recovery purposes and in troubleshooting. Sometimes they use USB drives to store and transfer antivirus or recovery software to viral infected computers in order to archive a particular portion of the infected PC. Due to the enormous storage capacity of the drive system there is no need to carry a lot of CDs that contain the secured data to be loaded into the computer system at the time of installation or update of software. As a common case USB pen drives are used to store large size application or utility software that needs no installation in the host system but can be used just by inserting the drive into the personal computer in use. This facility of USB pen drives make it more popular among students and system administrators.
