is there any alternate to HCL's EC2 software?

[Sathish]

i hav recently found hcl's ec2 recovery sofware. it is working in preboot enviornment and extremely useful whenever the system failed to boot / os corruptions / it simply resotore the hdd image from the snapsots by pressing f9 function key. but i heard that it can be installed only on hcl system and installation can only be done by hcl. is it true..?
whether i can install the ec2 software in my own assembled system.?

is there any alternate to the above sofware ? (paid or freeware)
