Vogon provides two ranges of imaging hardware for computer investigation professionals:
Windows based high performance Imaging Systems based on a high performance mobile or laboratory workstation PC. The image may be recorded DAT, LTO media or disk file. Two images may be recorded simultaneously. A special feature of these systems is the automatic write-protection of the target or suspect hard drive. Images created may then be uploaded to a workstation PC for processing using the unique Processing and Investigation Software.

Legacy DOS based Imagers, based upon the clean boot method of operation. The image is recorded directly to DDS DAT (digital data storage – digital audio tape). Two images may be recorded simultaneously. Images created may then be uploaded to a workstation PC for processing using the unique Processing and Investigation Software.

Complete Computer Forensic Workstations are available to support the widest range of computer investigation requirements:
These combine the features of the high performance imaging systems described above with the unique Processing and Investigation Software. These mobile or laboratory based forensic workstations are based on a top-of-the range PC and are designed to provide a complete forensic computing facility. They can be further tailored to suit individual requirements

As an alternative to processing, a clone disk may be produced for direct viewing or investigation under normal operating system control:
Automated production of clone disk can be achieved using a Vogon Disk Emulator. This specialised hardware allows direct access to the image as though it was the original suspect or target media. Access can be set to read/write or read-only depending on the requirements of the investigation. The original image held on tape media is unchanged

The suspect hard drive, or a clone disk created from the image of the suspect hard drive, may be directly accessed in read-only mode for file preview or detailed investigation. This remote preview hardware is available separately or as part of a high performance imaging system.

The range of computer forensic hardware and software is under continual development to keep pace with changes in computer technology and requirements of computer forensics. Please contact Vogon directly if you have any requirements that do not appear to be covered by the products listed here.
