Intel® vPro™ Technology
Foreword
Gregory Bryant, Vice President, Business Client Group; General Manager, Digital Office Platform Division, Intel
The introduction and integration of the PC into the business environment in the early 1980s resulted in the de-centralization of computing. A whole new industry sprang up focused on providing information technology (IT) organizations with software tools to manage their growing inventory of desktops and notebooks. The advent of the internet and wireless has freed workers from their offices and cubicles. IT shops around the globe are beginning to feel the strain as modern day software solutions are stretched to their limits.
Enter Intel® vPro™ technology. Created with IT in mind, critical functions that have challenged traditional software solutions are now moving into silicon. Solutions that rely on these functions can be assured that the capabilities they depend on to successfully control fleets of PCs, even in the most remote locations, are present even if the agent has been disabled, the operating system is no longer functioning or the system has been compromised. Intel is now shipping its third generation of Intel® Core™2 processor platforms enabled with Intel vPro technology. Every major OEM and more than 80+ solution providers are shipping platforms and products enabled to take advantage of the platform's capabilities. Businesses across the world are deploying and utilizing Intel vPro technology to save energy, reduce CO2 emissions, return their workers to full productivity faster, and more.
I am very proud to present an inside view of Intel vPro technology in this special issue of ITJ. I think you will find the breadth of topics and the details provided fascinating, useful and inspiring. There are exciting new compute models emerging and many new innovations on the horizon. Intel is committed to delivering the capabilities that IT needs the most, ensuring that PCs with Intel vPro technology will continue to be the best business PCs for years to come.
Enjoy!
