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

All New 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processor Family

Intelligent security, remote manageability, and adaptable performance to help businesses cut costs and improve efficiencies

The way we do business has changed

In today’s global markets, business is increasingly borderless, and mobility is becoming mandatory. The amount of e-mail that corporate users manage each day has also increased dramatically. Video has become mainstream for corporate communications – the use of video conferencing alone is expected to double from 2007 to 2012.10 At the same time, countries around the world are implementing increasingly stringent energy-compliance regulations for PCs. In addition, security threats continue to grow each year. Along with increased purchasing power in emerging markets, these shifts are driving major changes in business models worldwide.

Today’s business challenges include:

•Critical need to become more efficient, reducing costs while still reaching new customers

•Increased demand for video tools for mainstream communications, both internal, such as for sales and marketing, and external, for customers

•Exponential increase in security threats, along with a shift from ego-based attacks to economically focused attacks

•Pressure from governments around the world to use PCs that are more environmentally friendly and consume less power

Information Technology (IT) managers face a corresponding set of challenges in managing PCs as strategic assets:

•Support an increasingly mobile workforce.

•Protect networks and assets both inside and outside the corporate firewall.

•Reduce operating costs for managing and securing PCs.

•Support new, compute-intensive applications and the transition to Windows* 7.

Organizations can no longer wait to capitalize on global integration and advanced technology tools. The challenge for IT is to support business goals, managing PCs as strategic assets. To do so, IT organizations need laptop and desktop PCs that are easier to configure, manage, use, and secure.

New and proven technologies pair up to deliver intelligent security, remote manageability, and adaptable performance

Control meets cost savings in laptop and desktop PCs powered by the all new Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family.

Laptop and desktop PCs with a new Intel Core vPro processor deliver intelligent performance and unique hardware-assisted features that improve security, remote manageability, and energy management.

•New 2010 Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™ processor-based PCs1

•New 2010 Intel® Core™ i7 vPro™ processor-based PCs1

New features in this new generation of processors include intelligent security, such as Intel Anti-Theft Technology, and easier manageability – including KVM Remote Control2 (hardware-based keyboard video mouse) and PC Alarm Clock. Additional new features for adaptable performance include Intel® Turbo Boost Technology,3 as well as AES-NI8(advanced encryption standard – new instructions), to improve performance for encryption and decryption. For example, using Intel AT, you can remotely disable a PC with a “poison pill” that locks down the

system after it has been reported lost or stolen.

Access the PC virtually anytime, anywhere

The hardware-based capabilities of the all new 2010 Intel Core vPro processor family are built directly into the PC’s hardware. The capabilities let authorized technicians remotely access PCs that have traditionally been unavailable to the management console. Technicians can now manage the laptop or desktop PC even if PC power is off, the OS is unresponsive, hardware (such as a hard drive) has failed, or management agents are missing. Best of all, technicians can remotely maintain, update, and repair both laptop and desktop PCs that are outside the corporate firewall on an open wired or wireless connection via a secure, protected tunnel.
