Integration of PXE-based Desktop Solutions into Broadband Access Networks

Authors

Abstract

Presently there is a lack of remote desktop management solutions for domestic and SOHO users connected to broadband access networks. This contrasts with the enterprise LAN environment, where there are several standards, resources and frameworks for PC or thin-client management. Among these, one specific remote boot technology – the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) – is now the basis for a wide array of LAN-wide desktop management applications.
In this context, integrating PXE-based solutions into broadband access networks would allow novel management paradigms, targeting not just domestic end-users but also telecommuters working from their homes and small businesses which are too small for local deployment of full-fledged enterprise desktop management platforms.
In this paper we propose a solution that brings the benefits of managed desktop computing to home users, telecommuters and small businesses by integrating PXE technologies into broadband access network environments. In addition, we also propose a desktop services delivery model capable of efficiently providing a secure and quality managed desktop experience to domestic and SOHO end-users, using a PXE-based thin-client platform for broadband environments that can replace a full-fledged PC whilst maintaining most of its benefits.
