With the increase in the number of information technology (IT) solutions in organizations, the number of physical and virtual server images have also increased. Due to this situation, operating system deployments take longer to complete and require valuable organizational resources. As a result, companies are looking for new ways to automate the server deployment process.

Virtual machine environments have become ubiquitous in the datacenter, and having the ability to deploy virtual server roles and workloads while deploying operating systems is an important part of the deployment process.

It provides the following functions:
Allows you to perform network-based operating system installations.
Simplifies the deployment process.
Supports deployment to computers that have no installed operating system.
Provides end-to-end deployment solutions for both client and server computers.
Uses existing technologies, such as Windows PE, Windows image file (.wim) and virtual hard disk (.vhd and .vhdx) image files, and image-based deployment.
