White Paper: The All New 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processor Family: Intelligence that Adapts to Your Needs

Go mobile – cut costs and improve productivity

Employees are increasingly required to access enterprise applications while away from the office. Now that more powerful, seamless tools are available – such as video conferencing, streaming OS virtualization, and real-time application streaming – working off-site has become easier than ever.

Businesses are realizing significant benefits in going mobile:

•Improved productivity while working outside the office – on average, mobile users are more productive by 51 minutes a day, or up to

15% to 20%14.

•Ability to view and respond to critical or urgent issues in real-time.

•Reduce workforce support costs by 40% or more14,32,33.

•Realize up to 98% positive ROI in 14 months simply by increasing adoption of laptops34.

•Reestablish operations and reconnect 60% faster to your company’s intranet or the Internet via wireless laptops in the event of a disaster.35

In addition, mobile workers find it easier to balance work and life, eliminate commutes, and save fuel. The challenge for IT is to manage and secure those systems without a deskside or service center visit.

Wireless mobility

A new Intel Core vPro processor includes many features and capabilities to support a mobile workforce, including virtual location workforces and remote office LAN replacements. For example, laptops with a new Intel Core vPro processor include proven Intel® Centrino® wireless prod- ucts. Users can choose between support for WiFi or support for WiFI with optional WiMAX.

•Reliable and predictable coverage – less likely to drop off in wireless speed.

•Access metro-wide networks beyond hot spots with Intel® Centrino® Advanced–N + WiMAX 6250.

•Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 offers premium Wi-Fi, with up to 8x greater speed.36

Virtual location workforce

PCs with a new 2010 Intel Core vPro processor let businesses provide connectivity to employees working from home or in remote locations in covered areas. By implementing Mobile WiMAX, businesses can improve worker productivity and begin reducing employee support costs. (Mobile WiMAX must be supported by your service provider.)

Go mobile and take your savings to a new level

Cisco generated an estimated annual savings of $277 million in productivity after deploying more laptops, taking the company to new levels of efficiency and effectiveness.37

According to Information Week, “If everyone who could telecommute did twice weekly, the US could save 9.7 billions gallons of gas and $38.2 billion per year…”38

Remote office LAN replacement

Mobile WiMAX is the single, primary connectivity model in remote offices that do not have a LAN. Laptops with a new Intel Core vPro processor can eliminate the need for a LAN by allowing connectivity through WiMAX service. This can help businesses reduce infrastructure costs and employee support costs. (Mobile WiMAX must be supported by your service provider.)

Mobile metropolitan worker connectivity

PCs with a new Intel Core vPro processor also allow businesses to take advantage of Internet Service Provider (ISP) Mobile WiMAX services. In the ISP model, mobile employees connect at broadband speeds from remote locations. This can help businesses realize key benefits:

•Extend the manageability and security reach of IT for PCs with a new Intel Core vPro processor for mobile metropolitan workers and specialized devices, including tracking of assets.

•Improve sales-force access to real-time information for better customer support.

•Improve time-to-decision by providing real-time content access to decision makers when they are mobile.

•Improve time-to-support by providing support personnel with real-time access to experts anytime, anywhere.

When using PCs with a new Intel Core vPro processor, businesses can evaluate WiMAX as a mainstream solution and start taking advantage of the growing number of metros that offer WiMAX.
