To automate data centre builds.

I also want to take the opportunity to say thanks for all the work you
do on the project. It has been a key part of our infra build solution

<br><b>Additional comments:</b>
Due to past experience with FAI, it was almost imperative to bring FAI with me to my current employer.
The introduction of FAI allowed the organization to provision/re-provision servers en-masse as well as
reducing provisioning time from 2+hrs to ~ 5 minutes. The process has also been
simplified so that anyone can perform this function.
