Why Use Remoteboot?
The Remoteboot service promotes the use of diskless clients by eliminating the need for a hard disk on each client. This has several advantages:
- Increased network security by using clients that do not have disk drives that can be used to illegally copy data and to introduce viruses
- Greater control over the distribution of information and software resources
- Ease of updating software centrally
- Reduced cost in buying and maintaining client computers
Using the Remoteboot service has advantages for clients with hard disks as well:
- Easy upgrading of software and operating systems on many clients
- Greater flexibility in standardizing clients while allowing custom configurations
In general, the Remoteboot service offers greater control to the network administrator.
