Help lower IT maintenance costs with hardware-assisted remote management technology that works even if the PC is down or off.1 Reduce the need for software-related deskside visits by up to 91 percent and for hardware-related deskside visits by as much as 56 percent.1,2 Using sophisticated remote management capabilities not available in previous generation PCs or software-only solutions, you can do more from the IT console than ever before and reduce unintended PC downtime by up to 65 percent.
Extend PC management capabilities:
Locate, troubleshoot, and repair–notebooks and desktops with a hardware-based communications channel that is independent of the OS. A management engine within the chipset firmware, running on auxiliary power, communicates directly with your network-management console. Remotely manage networked and plugged-in machines—even if they are powered off or their OS is down.
Inventory hardware and software assets–up to 98 percent faster for hardware inventory and up to 94 percent faster for software inventory on desktops.1,2 With Intel Centrino Pro and Intel vPro processor technology, asset information is stored in tamper-resistant nonvolatile memory for easier, faster and more accurate audits, helping to prevent under-reporting or over-purchasing of assets and minimizing the cost of manual inventories.
