pxe

"In computing, the Preboot eXecution Environment, PXE (most often pronounced as pixie, often called PXE Boot/pixie boot.) specification describes a standardized client-server environment that boots a software assembly, retrieved from a network, on PXE-enabled clients. ... The concept behind the PXE originated in the early days of protocols like BOOTP/DHCP/TFTP, and as of 2015 it forms part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) standard. In modern data centers, PXE is the most frequent choice for operating system booting, installation and deployment." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment
