In one embodiment, a server is provisioned to a client by: 1) pre-booting a server of a server pool using a client-neutral operating system image, before the server is provisioned to the client; 2) provisioning the pre-booted server to a virtual network of the client; 3) mounting client storage volumes to the provisioned server; and then 4) processing a client-specific configuration file. Other related methods and apparatus are also disclosed.
