Remote System Rescue is a very useful practice when a remote system is behaving unexpectedly and you can't physically go to the system to insert a rescue CD.

 

Cisco Server Provisioner can easily deploy RAM-based rescue systems to enable an administrator to troubleshoot and remedy remote systems without altering the on-disk contents.
