Abstract
A computing system includes a server to stream a base disk image over a communications network, and a client machine. The client machine includes a read cache to store preboot data including a network driver, and a processor coupled to the read cache. The processor initiates prebooting of the client machine using the preboot data, and after the network driver is running, receives the streamed base disk image from the server via the communications network to continue booting the client machine.
