Gartner discusses Intel® vPro™ technology for corporate purchases.
¹ Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. With regard to laptops, Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt/.
² Intel® vPro™ processor technology in 2007 DASH implementation is based on draft DASH 1.0 specifications.
³ Results shown are from the 2007 EDS Case Studies with Intel® vPro™ processor technology, by LeGrand and Salamasick, 3rd party audit commissioned by Intel, of various enterprise IT environments. The studies compare test environments of Intel vPro processor technology equipped PCs vs non-Intel vPro processor technology environments. Tested PCs were in multiple OS and power states to mirror a typical working environment. Actual results may vary. The study is available at www.intel.com/business/business-pc/index.htm and www.eds.com.
Δ Up to 2x greater range and up to 5x better performance and improved battery life with optional Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N technology enabled by 2x3 Draft N implementations with 2 spatial streams. Actual results may vary based on your specific hardware, connection rate, site conditions, and software configurations. See www.intel.com/performance/mobile/wireless/index.htm for more information. Also requires a Connect with Intel® Centrino® processor technology certified Wireless_N access point. Wireless-N access points without the Connect with Intel Centrino processor technology identifier may require additional firmware for increased performance results. Check with your PC and access point manufacturer for details.
