Proven Intel® vPro™ technology is built into notebook and
desktop PCs to extend the reach and functionality of the management
console and meet your critical IT challenges. This hardware-based
technology delivers security and manageability on the chip
through:
- Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology-based notebooks.
- Intel® Core™2 processor with vPro™ technologybased desktop
PCs.
IT technicians can now protect, maintain, and manage notebook
and desktop PCs – even if the PC’s power is off, its OS is
unresponsive, hardware (such as a hard drive) has failed, or
software agents are missing. IT administrators can quickly identify
and contain more security threats, remotely maintain PCs virtually
anytime, take more accurate hardware/software inventories, quickly
resolve more software and OS problems down-the-wire, and accurately
diagnose hardware problems – all without leaving the service
center.
Technicians can even securely maintain, update, troubleshoot,
repair, and receive alerts from notebook and desktop PCs that are
on an open wired LAN outside the corporate firewall. With new
Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) for notebooks, IT
administrators can also be more assured that encrypted data is
better protected from unauthorized access if a system is lost or
stolen. For Intel Centrino 2 with vPro technologybased notebooks,
optional, integrated WiFi/WiMAX allow users to experience broadband
connectivity on the go for wireless access beyond today’s hot
spots.
With Intel vPro technology, IT managers benefit from lower
support costs, easier and more automated maintenance, improved
security, increased compliance and more accurate inventories. In
turn, companies can see significantly fewer service depot and
deskside visits, and less interruption to business.
The latest Intel-based notebook and desktop PCs also deliver
significantly improved performance for computeintensive
applications and multitasking all in a powerefficient package that
is Microsoft Windows 7* ready. These PCs also include
hardware-based capabilities that enable next-generation standard
practice virtualization use cases, such as OS and application
streaming, as well as traditional virtualization in a faster,
separate environment.
IT organizations can now spend less time on routine tasks, and
can focus resources where they are most needed.
