A Conversation With Ardence's Pete Downing
Friday, 02 March 2007 by Michel Roth
Brian Madden has interviewed a Ardence System Engineer called Pete Downing about how Ardence actually works:
"In this interview, Pete explains how Ardence actually works--how they share disk images, how they deal with shared computer names and SIDs, and how the network connectivity takes place. This conversation is an excellent addition to the white paper I wrote last year about Ardence."

• How Ardence "fakes out" the Windows computer name and SID
• Why Ardence chose to use UDP instead of TCP
• Where the Ardence cache file can be saved
• How people start using Ardence
• How the Ardence PXE boot process works
• How Ardence can share vdisks across multiple hardware platforms
