Comment: Removed references to old 2008/2012 PXE boot instructions and removed the links to old documentation to enforce usage of the new implementation

Blancco Erasure Software can be "deployed" through network ("network/PXE booted"). Blancco Management Console

...

has an inbuilt functionality for this purpose, but in actual larger production use, it is not sufficient enough. Blancco has released a guideline document which can be used to build a network boot environment based on Windows Server

...

or Ubuntu Linux.

The documentation describes how to setup

...

a network booting environment in order to deploy Blancco Erasure Software ISO images to a target computer through PXE booting.

...

The reader should have solid knowledge about

...

installing and managing

...

required services, PXE boot environments, firewall settings and TCP/IP communication.
