Intel has been working in EFI/UEFI since mid 1990s, and there are vendors like HP or Apple that provided EFI machines since a long time ago. But it is when Microsoft announced Windows 8 that UEFI became the required way to boot the new certified machines. • Secure boot is an extension of UEFI. One of the key points of UEFI is that it can be extended. UEFI has an internal virtual machine that is independent of the architecture that it is using. The standard accepts special binary files compiled for this virtual machine (EFI binaries) that can be executed inside the environment. These binaries can be device drivers, applications or extensions to the UEFI standard. UEFI, in some sense, is like a small operative system that runs when the machine is powered on and whose main task is to find and load another operating system. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is meant as a replacement for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface ● Initially (1998) designed by Intel for Itanium processor ● Since 2005 managed by the Unified EFI Forum (uefi.org) Source: http://loadays.org/archives/2013/static/slides/Integrating-UEFI-into-rear.pdf Why UEFI? • BIOS has its (aging) limitations – 16-bit processes – max.

The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies. The master thesis research was carried out at Ericsson AB in Göteborg, Sweden.

With the rapid development of these services, data has become the most crucial resource and hence companies start building disaster recovery (DR) systems that are more vital and essential to ensure the reliability and availability of data services in the event of IT infrastructure disasters. The occurrence of an unexpected calamity in a system leading to its disruption is a disaster.

    Mike Vainio WDS Server for Hybrid Delivery of Windows and Linux Operating Systems Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Engineer Communication Networks and Applications Bachelor’s Thesis 21 Nov 2017 Tiivistelmä Author(s) Mike Vainio Title WDS Server for Hybrid Delivery of Windows and Linux Operating Systems Number of Pages 37 pages + 1 appendixes Date 21 Nov 2017 Degree Engineer Degree Programme Information Technology Specialisation option Communication Networks and Applications Instructor(s) Tapio Wikström, Senior Lecturer The objective of the thesis was to build a standalone server capable of delivering boot media to client computers using the Preboot Execution Environment protocol. The server was de- livered for the case company Varian Medical Systems Finland to increase the efficiency of the system administrators. Microsoft Windows was the primary operating system used in the case company’s environ- ment thus the Windows Deployment Services role was used to deliver the boot medias over the network. In addition to the Windows image a variety of Linux kernel based tools were added for troubleshooting and recovering systems. To deliver the Linux systems, the PXEL- INUX boot loader from the Syslinux Project was added to the Windows Deployment Ser- vices. The implementation provides clearly documented steps for deploying the solution and in- cludes a PowerShell script for automating most of the workflow of updating the solution for the use of system administrators. The implementation was thoroughly tested and verified that it matches the specifications and is reliable. Network traffic was inspected thoroughly, and the ports and protocols used by the solution were documented. The results of the study show that the solution matches the specifications and needs of the case company and future improvements are suggested for the case company to implement in the future.
