Generally, Diskless works in a very simple way as shown on the picture below. There will be a set of CCBoot Servers, labeled as CCBoot Main Diskless Server and CCBoot Backup Server/Café Timer/Print Server/Client PC Documents Data Storage. These 2 servers will be connected to a Switch where all the Client PCs/Workstations are connected to.
When switching on a PC or a Workstation, the PC/Workstation will boot from CCBoot Diskless Servers through the network instead of a hard disk. In short, all the data reading and writing will be performed on the servers. Logically, this may make you think "Won't this be slower?" Worry not because CCBoot Diskless utilizes an enhanced driver transmission protocol which guarantees that the PCs/Workstations are performing at an incomparable speed. A set of (2) servers are recommended to run only a total amount of 100 PCs or lesser.
