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.
