Rack Server Raid
is it possible to share an OS like windows over many disk less nodes via a same server?
considered many nodes connected to a server, is it possible to share an Networking Operating system (win Server 03 /08 ) and its application across a network to all nodes? this OS will be kept stored in RAID rack which will contain many RAID (SATA/ IDE) hard drives in a RACK. separately apart from the server but connected through Ethernet or USB
Yes it is possible to do that. But I would not suggest it if you are using Windows. Windows is still a “SINGLE User OS” at its HEART, though multiuser facilities are built on top of it. Unlike windows, UNIX family was made for such purposes from day 1.
If you want to do this then use Mac OS X(basically UNIX) or any distro of Linux. They are built for such purposes and offer far greater reliability.
