1.Backing up existing DELL KACE K1000

            Before we doing DELL KACE Upgradation, we need to take a backup of Kace file and DB. For that go to settings -> Control panel -> Backup and Restore.  Download the File and DB Backup as shown below:

2. Automatic Update

            Once the backup is successfully completed, we can update DELL KACE in two ways. Automatic and manually.

            For Automatic update go to Settings -> Server Maintanence  and select Edit Mode. Then click check for upgrade as shown below. This option will detect the update 

3. Manual Update

            We can do manual  update by downloading DELL KACE Latest files from the following location

            https://downloads.kace.com

           We have to download the following files :

            k1000_server_5.5.90545.kbin

            k1000_agents_5.5.25198.kbin

Once downloaded we are ready to update.

3.1. Updating KACE K1000

            For updating KACE K1000 go to Settings -> Server Maintanence  and select Edit Mode. In the Manually update section Click Choose file and select the k1000_server_5.5.90545.kbin file and click update K1000. Pls see the image below

            Once its started update the webpage will redirected to https://<ip address>/system and it will run the update with status. Wait until its finish update. Kindly note don’t restart the KACE while doing update.

            After updates finished successfully. Kindly verify the version by navigate

Settings - > Server Maintanence

3.2. Updating Agent

            We have do Agent Update by manually. To Update the Agent go to Settings -> K1000 Agents -> Agent update for KACE. Under Upload K1000 Agent Update Files select Edit Mode. Click Choose File and select k1000_agents_5.5.25198.kbin and Click Load Bundle File. Refer the image below.

           

Once update complete verify the version in Loaded K1000 Agent Updates. Refer the image below

To distribute the Agent to all clients go to  Settings -> K1000 Agents -> Agent update for KACE select Edit Mode -> Check Enabled. Refer the image below

Project Loon        

        Project Loon is a research and development project being developed by Google with the mission of providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. The project uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 20 km (12 mi) to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds.Because of the project's seemingly outlandish mission goals, Google dubbed it "Project Loon".

The balloons are maneuvered by adjusting their altitude to float to a wind layer after identifying the wind layer with the desired speed and direction using wind data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Users of the service connect to the balloon network using a special Internet antenna attached to their building. The signal travels through the balloon network from balloon to balloon, then to a ground-based station connected to an Internet service provider (ISP), then onto the global Internet. The system aims to bring Internet access to remote and rural areas poorly served by existing provisions, and to improve communication during natural disasters to affected regions. Key people involved in the project include Rich DeVaul, chief technical architect, who is also an expert on wearable technology; Mike Cassidy, a project leader; and Cyrus Behroozi, a networking and telecommunication lead.

Technology

           The technology designed in the project could allow countries to avoid using expensive fiber cable that would have to be installed underground to allow users to connect to the Internet. Google feels this will greatly increase Internet usage in developing countries in regions such as Africa and Southeast Asia that can't afford to lay underground fiber cable.

          The high-altitude polyethylene balloons fly around the world on the prevailing winds (mostly in a direction parallel with lines of latitude, i.e. east or west). Solar panels about the size of a card table that are just below the free-flying balloons generate enough electricity in four hours to power the transmitter for a day and beam down the Internet signal to ground stations. These ground stations are spaced about 100 km (62 mi) apart, or two balloon hops, and bounce the signal to other relay balloons that send the signal back down. This makes Internet access available to anyone in the world who has a receiver and is within range of a balloon.Currently, the balloons communicate using unlicensed 2.4 and 5.8 GHz ISM bands, and Google claims that the setup allows it to deliver "speeds comparable to 3G" to users. It is unclear how technologies that rely on short communications times (low latency pings), such as VoIP, might need to be modified to work in an environment similar to mobile phones where the signal may have to relay through multiple balloons before reaching the wider Internet.

The first person to connect to the "Google Balloon Internet" after the initial test balloons were launched into the stratosphere was a farmer in the town of Leeston, New Zealand, who was one of 50 people in the area around Christchurch who agreed to be a pilot tester for Project Loon. The New Zealand farmer lived in a rural location that couldn't get broadband access to the Internet, and had used a satellite Internet service in 2009, but found that he sometimes had to pay over $1000 per month for the service. The locals knew nothing about the secret project other than its ability to deliver Internet connectivity; but allowed project workers to attach a basketball-sized receiver resembling a giant bright-red party balloon to an outside wall of their property in order to connect to the network.

The high-altitude balloons fly twice as high as airplanes, but below the range of satellites. Each balloon provides Internet service in a 20 km (12 mi) radius covering an area of about 1,256 km²(485 sq mi).
