Abstract

A system for accessing storage on a server by clients on a network includes software on the server to process requests and allocate storage based on client needs. The clients include a special BIOS and a disk drive controller proxy. The BIOS retrieves operating system software, drivers, and other application software from the server. The disk drive controller proxy routes disk requests to the server for processing. In some embodiments, clients may share storage on the server.
