4. two option in computer shop setup’s
 Multidisk Setup:
 Disadvantages of using "Hard Disk"
 Investment for hard disk and future upgrades
 Frequent hard disk failure / replacement due to "Cloning" & pressing "Reset" button
 Game server which uses Windows Server license
 Hard to troubleshoot / maintain / update different specification PCs
 Programs / Applications / Games / Windows Update to every PCs
 Requires more staff
 High maintenance cost
 Consume more power with hard disk
 Requires better air conditioning due to hard disk generating heat
 Recovery software / hardware are required to protect Windows / Files)
 Backup / cloning software and other update software are required
 Virus attacks and Virus removal need to be troubleshoot for all PC

5. two option in computer shop setup’s
 DiskLess Setup:
 Advantages of using “Diskless"
 No hard disk required
 No such problem
 Easy to troubleshoot / maintain / update different specification PCs
 Programs / Applications / Games / Windows Update to only a single PC
 Requires less staff
 Low maintenance cost
 Consume fewer power without hard disk, Eco World
 No hard disk, no heat generated
 Recovery software / hardware not needed
 Backup / cloning software and other update software not needed

6. Example From Company

7. From my own build
 Definitions:
 I can do much better units that less expensive.
 I choose diskless setup to less electricity usage.
 I plan to build 10 client units, 1 timer units and 1 server
units. I choose separate timer and server to avoid
hangs and logs.
 Why 10 units? Mostly adult play Lan or multiplayer
games example. 3vs3 or 5vs5.
 I want to add another incomes like photo printing,
typing job and another service that related to internet
thats why need higher specs server to do task easy
without hang and logs.
