<p>A system for the unified provisioning of virtual and physical disk images is created. The system includes a library of disk images. Client devices are able to upload to, and select disk images from the disk library. The library is able to determine the hardware requirements of a client device, and format the disk image accordingly. The library supports both virtual machine and physical computer systems, and is able to modify the stored disk image to accommodate either type of client device. The library can modify images to be bootable from a wide variety of storage device types, including iSCSI, and DAS, for example.</p> |
