Hi,
I want to install customized centos on multiple systems. Can PXE boot do that ? Apart from this is there any other way of doing image copy of centos OS and installing it on several client machines through network. I used clonezilla, but after image cloning, i will again have to use the clonezilla LIVE CD on client machine to do a image restore.
I want to make a clone of centos OS and store it in a server and keeping installing it on multiple machines with same hardware features from network. Is this possible ?
You should look at https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ and kickstart. This will give repeatable automated installs over a variety of hardware.

Or, you can look at System Imager. Designed just for that purpose. Do an image copy, then deploy on several machines on the network...
