The control unit 240 can select any one of the hard hard storage servers based on the no hard storage server quality table to ensure optimum no hard service quality.

The control unit 240 can select the no hard storage server based on the quality index and the connection priority ranking of each of the non-hard storage servers in the wide area including the location of the diskless PC 120. [ For example, the control unit 240 can select a no-hard storage server having a high quality index by comparing the quality indexes of the respective non-hard storage servers in real time. In addition, the control unit 240 can select the no hard storage server based on the access priority order of each of the no hard storage servers.

The control unit 240 can select the no hard storage server based on the quality index, the connection priority and the diskless PC quality table of each of the wide area non-hard storage servers including the location of the diskless PC 120. [ For example, when the diskless PC 120 is located in Pusan, the controller 240 controls the connection of the diskless PC 120 to the no hard storage server Can be determined as the optimal no-hard storage server.

Thereafter, the control unit 240 may assign the selected no hard storage server to the diskless PC.

Meanwhile, the provisioning unit 250 may compare a bandwidth of each of the access switch 130 and the aggregation switch 140 to detect a network having a network bandwidth less than a predetermined value.

In addition, the provisioning unit 250 may perform bandwidth guarantee provisioning for a network having a bandwidth lower than a preset value.
