The When, What, Why and How of Pre-OS
The issue of the high total cost of ownership
(TCO) of PCs in a corporate environment is well understood by the IT
community today. The main question now is: What is the best solution for
the TCO problem? There are many products available that help address this
issue, ranging from simple, low-cost, single-task "tools" to costly,
complex, multiple-task client management products.
This site discusses pre-OS (also referred to
as "preboot"), which can be another weapon in the IT manager's arsenal for
tackling the TCO problem. Pre-OS is not a tool that performs specific
tasks, but rather a framework that can be used to centrally deploy various
client management tools. This paper addresses pre-OS as it pertains to
network booting.
