What is a diskless network

In short, all workstations in a network do not install the hard drive, and all through the network server to boot, such a network is diskless network, these workstations are called diskless workstations.

People who have not had access to a diskless network may soon be interested in such networks, and each workstation saves a hard drive, and a network of sixty or seventy machines saves a considerable amount of money, which may be the first impression of anyone who has just contacted a diskless network. Indeed, saving money is one of the big advantages of diskless networks, and the fact that the main advantage of diskless networking is not saving money. The main advantage of diskless networks should be management and maintenance.

Administrators responsible for network management may have a deep understanding of "management and Maintenance", the main task of network administrators is to ensure that a network can operate normally. An ordinary disk network, such as a medium-sized Internet café machine around 60 units, if there is something wrong with the workstation in the network, can not open the computer, or the network software to upgrade, such as Internet cafes to install a new game, and to all the machines installed, then the network administrator will be busy, He is responsible for the adjustment of each machine, installation of new software, and even the hard disk of each machine to reformat, partition, install the system ... Perhaps not too long, the system was accidentally destroyed by customers, so it is cumbersome installation, commissioning ... Trouble not to say, but also to delay the work of users to affect the normal use. Even if the network once the virus that network management are also busy. (Computer science)

Therefore, a new network structure: Diskless network appears. The idea of a diskless network is to reduce the cost of workstations, the other is to manage and maintain the convenience. Now the name of no disk network can quickly configure a set of diskless networks, management and maintenance is no longer any trouble, all the management and maintenance operations on the server, as long as the workstation hardware is not a problem, the entire diskless network operation will not have any problems. Software upgrades are more convenient, as long as you install the required software on a workstation, all workstations in the network can use the new software, which is indeed the Gospel for network administrators.

In short, the Diskless Internet Café System integrates a variety of solutions, in the solution of the original problem without disk, the use of excellent design ideas and advanced technology, the Diskless network configuration, start-up, operation, management and maintenance provides a comprehensive system services. It not only makes the original complex cumbersome network configuration management process become extremely simple and convenient, in order to make full use of existing resources to form and transform Diskless network provides the largest feasible space, really to save money, time-saving, labor-saving purposes.
