technology allows enterprise PCs and workstations to be centrally
managed in a data center while providing high resolution, full frame
rate 3D graphics and HD media, with full USB peripheral
interoperability, locally over a LAN or remotely over a high-latency
WAN. PC-over-IP is an innovative display protocol technology that
enables the practical consolidation of all IT resources into a data
center, eliminates the need for desktop workstations, PCs and thin
clients, and delivers an uncompromised user experience to each desk,
anywhere, without incurring the security risks associated with
transmitting data across a network or having data reside in remote PCs.

"The configuration described in this article is very generic, outlining how you can boot the ESX Server 3i version 3.5 Update 4 Installable image using PXE. The description provided outlines how you can boot from the network by PXE booting ESX Server 3i version 3.5 Update 4 Installable. This installation is completely stateless (it does not rely on the presence of a local disk). Therefore, the installation and post-install configuration are not persistent across reboot. If you want to automate the sever configuration at boot time, use the VMware Infrastructure Toolkit (VMware Infrastructure SDK). See the following page for links to VMware documentation related to SDKs: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/sdk_pubs.html."
