Achieving Long-term Business value with Intel vPro™ Technology
Overview
Intel vPro technology has a core capability for improving system defense, asset discovery, remote builds, virtualized client usage and device-independent computing.
Recognizing Intel vPro technology significant business value, Intel IT made a strategic decision three years ago to standardize our computing platform on PCs both laptop and desktop – with Intel vPro processors. PCs equipped with Intel Core vPro processors include a variety of technologies that enhance IT and end-user efficiency, including Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT), Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d), Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x) , Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT), and Intel Anti-Theft Technology (AT Intel). These technologies can help meet our most critical challenges-boosting employee productivity, enhancing information security, and improving IT efficiency and business continuity.
Business PCs powered by the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family take intelligent client computing to the next level—maximizing hardware-assisted security, simplifying PC management, and providing more responsive, adaptive performance.1 With Intel vPro technology, you can power on an entire PC fleet to update a virus patch or remotely diagnose and repair PCs out-of-band (OOB), even if the OS is inoperable. You can also disable lost PCs with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT), provide a computing foundation for desktop virtualization, or accelerate data encryption with Intel® AES New Instructions.
Managing and protecting desktops and laptops and securing data are among the great challenges for modern businesses. The 2nd generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family with the hardware-based security and manageability of Intel® vPro™ technology1 simplifies and accelerates these critical IT functions. Intel® vPro™ technology is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family, Intel® chipsets, and network adapters.
