| Delivering end-to-end management building blocks to improve IT productivity and increase business agility. Through the Intel® Cross-Platform Manageability Program (Intel® CPMP), Intel is implementing active manageability capabilities across all Intel platforms-from cell phones to servers. These capabilities are supported by a common interface to management software utilities, consoles and frameworks. This cross-platform manageability infrastructure enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and independent software vendors (ISVs) to deliver value-added services and products to help information technology (IT) organizations improve operational efficiency and increase business agility. |

| Intel® CPMP and the Digital Office Vision |
|
An important part of the Intel® CPMP is the "Embedded IT" vector of the Intel Digital Office Vision. The Digital Office Vision focuses on making enterprise platforms more aware, more intelligent, more connected and more responsive. One of the four vectors included in the Digital Office Vision is the "Embedded IT" vector, which encompasses manageability and security across desktop systems. The Intel® CPMP extends this focus across all Intel platforms. |

| Intel® CPMP and Intel® Active Management Technology |
|
Intel® Active Management Technology is the technology underlying the cross-platform manageability capabilities that Intel is building into its platforms through the Intel® CPMP. Intel® Active Management Technology delivers base capabilities for functions such as asset management and remote monitoring, while offering an extensible, secure and persistent platform for higher-level management services and solutions.

| Building Blocks and Capabilities |
Through the Intel® Cross-Platform Manageability Program, Intel is implementing standards-based core platform-manageability and automation capabilities into a variety of Intel building blocks-including components and platforms for cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablets, notebooks, desktops, servers, routers, switches and storage input/output (I/O) devices. Common, cross-platform web-services-based interfaces support a wide range of self-managing, autonomous computing solutions using these building blocks and capabilities. These complete, end-to-end manageability building blocks provide the infrastructure to enable:
|
 |
 |
OEMs and ISVs to quickly and efficiently bring manageability products to market. |
|
|
|
IT organizations to deploy management solutions that allow them to focus on strategic initiatives, rather than mundane administrative tasks. |

Web Services for Management Specification Intel, Microsoft, AMD, Dell, Sun, BMC, and Wbem have announced the publication of an updated version of WS-Management specification to manage networked clients and servers. In addition, this publication also included WS-Management Catalog specification for description and discovery of managed resources. The combination of WS-Management and WS-Management Catalog provides a comprehensive set of protocols for systems management. | |

| Standards Support |
As a part of the Intel® CPMP, Intel is working closely with other industry leaders to advance the platform-manageability ecosystem to support common management capabilities and product interoperability across platforms. To ensure that standards are in place to support this effort, Intel participates in a wide variety of industry-standards and specifications groups.
Intel continues to build upon its history of innovation and leadership in delivering platform-management building blocks, specifications and software across its diverse product line. Over the next few years, new platform-management capabilities will emerge in Intel platforms, supported by a common interface to management software utilities, consoles and frameworks.

| IT Benefits |
|
Intel cross-platform management building blocks will enable automation of today's labor-intensive IT tasks, such as malware protection, asset management, remote monitoring and troubleshooting, and dynamic software provisioning. The highly manageable platforms will deliver immediate business value when IT shops deploy the hardware and supporting third-party management-software products, and it also will prepare the way for tomorrow's autonomic and utility computing-based service-oriented architectures. |
