PreWorX

PreWorX is a dynamic and innovative software company that leads the way in a complex technology world with solutions that leverage off proven Preboot principles resulting in the cost effective management of today's PC's. Today PreWorX produces some of the most advanced "network capable" and "business intelligent" preboot technologies the world has to offer and are the first to supply these to a global market. PreWorX is also a technology supplier to Novell providing advanced preboot solutions for the ZENworks for Desktops product range as well as the ZEN user base.

Preboot Services for ZENworks
A layer of PreWorX technology forms the core for Preboot Services for ZENworks, a preboot service that enhances the capabilities of ZENworks for Desktops and Novell ZENworks. As a fully integrated component in ZENworks, preboot services greatly simplifies the rollout and maintenance process of Windows based workstations. Preboot services does away with the need for human intervention during the imaging process by eliminating the need to create boot partitions on workstations to be imaged. Instead, it enables workstations to use the industry standard Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) to automatically boot from the network and communicate to an intelligent preboot services layer whenever imaging jobs are scheduled.

Preboot Services Toolkit
The PreWorX PreBoot Services Toolkit is a powerful set of administrative tools that allow you to expand the capabilities of the Preboot Services functionality already built into Novell ZENworks for Desktops and Novell ZENworks. The Preboot Services Toolkit allows you to build and edit customized Network Boot Images and preboot menus, and deliver them to a workstation before the local operating system loads. A Remote Control console can be used to control these menus and Network Boot Images in preboot from a single interface, or the user can be presented with a menu to obtain specific services. These extended preboot services can deliver solutions that range from BIOS upgrades to basic health diagnostics, minimizing "human involvement" and ensuring substantial savings in overall support costs.
