MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, June 24 /- emBoot Inc., an industry pioneer in delivering network boot capabilities, today announced the release of netBoot/i v2.5, an important update to its iSCSI boot solution for Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise, Server 2003/2008, XP, 2000 and Linux. netBoot/i provides a centrally managed SAN Boot solution using standard Ethernet network adapters that allows customers to reduce deployment and lifecycle operating costs for desktops and servers, reduce datacenter power and cooling requirements, and improve system resiliency, availability, flexibility, and recoverability.
