Buncombe County Schools deploy PCs with Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors to boost performance, ease remote management, and improve energy efficiency. For students and teachers in North Carolina’s Buncombe County Schools, computer technology plays an integral role in the overall learning experience. By deploying computers with Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors, the district’s small, five-person networking department is streamlining the remote management of its large PC fleet, conserving energy, and enhancing performance for a full range of applications. The Buncombe County Schools IT group is also evaluating Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) to help increase performance and extend battery life for laptops, which boosts student and teacher productivity. Challenges • Streamline PC management. Reduce the time and resources required for a small IT staff to manage more than 12,000 computers used by students and teachers across the district’s 42 schools. • Enhance performance. Deliver the performance that students and teachers need to boot up systems and launch applications quickly, extend battery life, and run the most demanding educational software. Solution • Refresh client systems with Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors. The Buncombe County Schools IT department deployed laptops from HP with Intel Core vPro processors, replacing older systems and adding new systems for newly constructed schools. The IT department will use Intel vPro technology with Novell ZENworks* to efficiently manage systems remotely. • Implement Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs). Testing showed that Intel SSDs can help the district further enhance computer performance and reduce power consumption. Impact • Better performance. Intel Core vPro processors deliver the performance students and teachers need inside and outside of the classroom, enabling them to multitask and run the most demanding, media-rich educational software. Intel SSDs accelerate PC system startup and application loading while contributing to a smooth experience in the classroom and in computer labs. • More efficient PC management. Intel vPro technology helps enhance the efficiency of remote management, allowing administrators to keep PCs stable and up to date while minimizing disruptions for students and teachers.
