(PRWEB) December 7, 2005

Argon Technology, a world leader in network booting solutions, today announced that Microsoft has adopted Argon Technology’s PXE Boot Agent® into the BIOS of Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2, now available. By incorporating Argon’s Virtual PXE Boot Agent, system administrators using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 can use the same deployment tools to service both real and virtual clients, and to perform unattended operating system installation and system updates.

“Microsoft’s move is the latest from a mainstream technology company to bring the cutting-edge deployment options delivered by Argon’s PXE Boot Agent to a wider audience,” said Basat Khalifa, President, Argon Technology.

To perform deployment options, the BIOS-integrated PXE Boot Agent communicates with a LAN-based deployment server such as Microsoft’s Remote Installation Services (RIS) or Argon’s Client Management Services (CMS). The virtual PXE Boot Agent is enabled by changing the BIOS Boot Order of the guest OS – the same way you would on a physical PC.

Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 is the most cost effective server virtualization technology engineered for the Windows Server System platform. It delivers improved performance, high availability, and scalability for server consolidation, application re-hosting, disaster recovery, and software test and development. Microsoft will be offering Virtual Server 2005 R2 Standard Edition for $ 99 US estimated retail price and Virtual Server 2005 R2 Enterprise Edition for $ 199 US estimated retail price. This new pricing represents Microsoft’s commitment to making server virtualization technology more accessible to customers at the lowest price point.

Argon’s Virtual PXE Boot Agent is also available for Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. Visit http://www.ArgonTechnology.com/virtual for details.

PXE Boot Intaller Demonstration

I work at a computer service company called Northlake IT in Slidell, Louisiana (Across the lake from New Orleans) and you don't want to be around the guys I work with when a much needed disk goes missing. So shortly after building the FOG server to decrease the amount of time it takes us to prepare workstations for our clients (which for 10 systems might have taken us 2 days to set up on a one-at-a-time basis decreased to about 10 minutes using multicasting), I eventually saw the potential for completely diskless booting of all our commonly used software. The guys I work with like norton ghost, and they were using a floppy to boot it with no network capabilities. Often computers don't have floppy drives, our ghost disk would go bad, we couldn't find the disk, we couldn't get the system to boot from an external floppy, or we had no more floppies to make a new disk. None of that is any longer a concern. We have greatly increased out productivity, and convenience. As of the creation of this video, over the network, we can boot unattended xp installations, xp vista and 7 recovery consoles, ghost 7.0 & 11.5 w/ network capabilities, acronis, dos, 2 builds of trinity rescue, ubuntu 8.04 & 9.10 livecds, and a winPE environment. If anyone needs a PXE bootable usb NIC for systems that are either too old or don't have a PXE bootable adapter check out argontechnology.com Hope you like the video, if anyone has any questions or would like a copy of an image I use, let me know!
