Generally, Diskless works in a very simple way as shown on the picture below. There will be a set of
CCBoot Servers, labeled as CCBoot Main Diskless Server and CCBoot Backup Server/Café
Timer/Print Server/Client PC Documents Data Storage. These 2 servers will be connected to a
Switch where all the Client PCs/Workstations are connected to.

When switching on a PC or a Workstation, the PC/Workstation will boot from CCBoot Diskless
Servers through the network instead of a hard disk. In short, all the data reading and writing will be
performed on the servers. Logically, this may make you think "Won't this be slower?" Worry not
because CCBoot Diskless utilizes an enhanced driver transmission protocol which guarantees that
the PCs/Workstations are performing at an incomparable speed. A set of (2) servers are
recommended to run only a total amount of 100 PCs or lesser.
Disadvantages of using "Hard Disk"

-Investment for hard disk and future upgrades

-Frequent hard disk failure / replacement due to "Cloning" & pressing "Reset" button

-Hard to troubleshoot / maintain / update different specification PCs

-Programs / Applications / Games / Windows Update to every PCs

-Requires more staff

-High maintenance cost

-Consume more power with hard disk

-Requires better air conditioning due to hard disk generating heat

-Recovery software / hardware are required to protect Windows / Files)

-Backup / cloning software and other update software are required

-Virus attacks and Virus removal need to be troubleshoot for all PC

Hard Disk Cloning + Game Update + HDD Future

Upgrades + Hard Disk Failure = Head Ache
Advantages of using CCBoot Diskless in
Cybercafé

-No hard disk required

-No such problem

-Easy to troubleshoot / maintain / update different specification PCs

-Programs / Applications / Games / Windows Update to only a single PC

-Requires less staff

-Low maintenance cost

-Consume fewer power without hard disk, go Green!

-No hard disk, no heat generated

-Recovery software / hardware not needed

-Backup / cloning software and other update software not needed

-Virus attacks and Virus removal can be troubleshoot on only 1 PC

-Save on maintenance cost

-Save on HDD future upgrades

-Save on buying Antivirus and OS Rollback system.

Install CCBoot step by step

Prepare Server

1. CPU: Quad Core Intel/AMD CPU or better CPU

2. RAM : 32 GB DDR3/DDR4 or more

3. Hard Disk: 2 x 2TB HDD or 2 x 500 GB SSD and 4 x 256G SSD disks (recommended to use Samsung Evo SSD for
best performance and reliability)

a. 1 SATA HDD/ SSD split to two partitions. one for Server OS installation and one for CCBoot installation.
b. 1 SSD for boot images.

c. 2 SATA HDDs or SSD in RAID0 for game disks, refer RAID0 setup

d. 2 SSD for Writeback disk

e. 1 SSD for SSD cache

Important: Game Disk is recommended to be RAID 0 in all cases even if you have less number of PC. With RAID 0,
games will load faster and you will have smoother game play. When you have RAID 0 for HDD or SSD Disk, SSD cache
is still recommended for the game disk.

Note: If you have NVME SSD then use that SSD for image disk or SSD cache.

Note: M.2 SSD are also supported by CCBoot.

4. The motherboard should have at least 8 SATA ports as at least 7 disks are used at any given time.

5. Casing: Any casing big enough to accommodate your boards and hard disk. Typically and EATX casing is
recommended as it has more hard disk bays and cooling option with fans.

6. Power Supply - True rated 500-650 Watts PSU for best reliability and power delivery for your system

7. You need to format all disk in 32K allocation unit NTFS, except the OS HDD.

8. Windows Server 2008 R2 or Server 2012 R2 or Server 2016 (Build 1607)

9. UPS for your system in case of power failure, to prevent the server from shutting down while in operation. - 1.2 KVA or
higher rated UPS for longer backup

Sample 1

Motherboard : Asrock Z370 Extreme4

Processor : Intel Core i7-8700
Memory : 32 GB DDR4 RAM
SSD : 4 pcs 256GB Samsung EVO
SATA HDD : 1 500gb seagate HDD for Server OS/Back Up Files
SATA HDD : 2* 1 Terabyte Western Digital Caviar Black
Casing : Any Model (Full tower for much better ventilation)
Power Supply : Any Model/Brand of True rated 650 Watts
UPS : Any Brand

If you prefer to use branded servers then here are some recommendations

Dell Servers

1. Dell PowerEdge T330 Tower Servers

2. Dell PowerEdge T430 Tower Servers

Super Micro Servers

1. SuperServer 5018D8-AR12L - 1U Rack Server with up to 16 SATA3 port and up to 128 GB RAM

2. SuperServer E200-8D - Mini PC system with 6 SATA3 up to 128 GB RAM

Notes:

a. CCBoot support M.2 SSD as well. You can use it for SSD cache or image disk depending on the requirement

b. Even, if you are using SSD for game disk, using SSD Cache disk will give you better performance for loading games.

c. Its recommended to use same size SSD for writeback disk. Also, do not use combination of HDD and SSD for
writeback disk. The performance will not be as good as will SSD only writeback disk.

d. DO NOT in any case use partition for disk in CCBoot. It will lower the performance as well as wear out your disks
faster. Boot time will be slow for clients as well

e. CCBoot trial works for 30 Days for 5 users. There are no other limitation in functions. If you try to boot more than
5 PCs in trial then clients will not be stable and may crash. 5 PC trial is most stable, any more you want to boot,
please purchase license.

Notes: Do not install any antivirus program on the CCBoot server as antivirus they scan disk while the server is idle
and cause the clients to lag. So it is not recommended to install antivirus on the CCBoot server.

Refer "Server Cache Settings" to set the server disks, RAM cache and SSD cache
