Features and benefits

Reduce energy costs by using an average of 50 percent less power than older PCs.φ Plus, remotely shut down, wake up, and update PCs more securely during off hours to minimize user downtime and reduce energy costs even more.¹

Reduce maintenance costs by remotely configuring, diagnosing and repairing infected PCs, even if they're shut down or the OS is unresponsive.³

Safeguard PCs saving on IT resources while maintaining accurate asfrom malware and malicious attacks by continually and intelligently polling for the presence of software agents. If an outbreak should occur, get up to 56 percent faster time to patch saturation.

Maintain accurate asset inventory¹ by conducting hardware and software inventory up to 94 percent faster² and ensuring you only paying for software you actually use.

Maximize employee productivity¹ with industry-leading performance9 that runs today's advanced software even faster.

Upgrade to Microsoft Windows* 7 quickly, remotely, and overnight without losing access to your legacy applications.

 Product and Performance Data 

¹ System performance, battery life, power savings, high-definition quality, video playback and functionality, and wireless performance and functionality will vary depending on your specific operating system, hardware, chipset, connection rate, site conditions, and software configurations. References to enhanced performance refer to comparisons with previous generation Intel technologies. See www.intel.com/products/centrino/index.htm and www.intel.com/performance/mobile/index.htm for more information on performance, power savings and energy efficiency.

² 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 notebooks, 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/.

³ No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology requires a computer system with Intel® Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules and an Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition, Intel TXT requires the system to contain a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing Group, and specific software for some uses. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/security.
