Improved reliability
The key benefit of implementing remote booting is increased network
reliability. Remotely booted workstations will start in a controlled
fashion every time. Implementing this level of desktop control
helps to eliminate the most common point of failure in corporate
networks.
Security and control
Remote booting enables network administrators to exercise full
control over every PC, from the moment that it is powered-on,
even before the operating system is loaded. It is also possible
to disable local floppy disk booting at firmware level, as
well as allowing read/write protection on the floppy drive
itself.
This protects the network from unauthorized disk-borne applications
and the replication of viruses.
Reduce network management costs
As there is a reduced need for IT staff to visit individual user
workstations and perform repetitive tasks, fewer staff hours
are required to maintain the same number of PCs. Better security
and control over software license issues result in further
cost savings
