Intel® Centrino® with vPro™ Technology

* Remote manageability providing IT with remote PC monitoring and the ability to diagnose and repair the PC even when the OS is off or unresponsive.¹

* Broad industry support from leading manageability and security independent software vendors (ISVs) like Symantec, LANDesk, HP, Microsoft, and Cisco that take advantage of the Intel Centrino with vPro technology features.
* Industry-standard management support for protocols such as WS-MAN and DASH² that are more capable and secure than ASF and enables secure communication between the console and the PC.
* Industry-leading mobile dual-core performance so you can run multiple intensive applications at once without slowing down
* Breakthrough battery life enabled by next-generation hafnium-infused 45nm Intel® Core™ microarchitecture
* 2x greater wireless range and up to 5x faster wireless with the optional integrated 802.11n wireless technologyΔ
* Full Windows Vista* and Windows Aero* graphics without the expense of an external graphics card enabled by powerful Intel® Graphics Technology.
Keep systems secure, maintain them more efficiently, and reduce your operating expenses with laptop PCs with Intel's hardware-based management technologies enabling a stable and reliable IT infrastructure. Check out the benchmarks:

* Achieve up to 94 percent faster time to patch saturation³
* Reduce hardware related desk-side visits by up to 50 percent³
* Reduce software related desk-side visits by up to 75 percent³
* Conduct hardware and software inventory up to 95 percent faster than manually per PC³


¹ 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.
² Intel® vPro™ processor technology in 2007 DASH implementation is based on draft DASH 1.0 specifications.

³ Results shown are from the 2007 EDS Case Studies with Intel® vPro™ processor technology, by LeGrand and Salamasick, 3rd party audit commissioned by Intel, of various enterprise IT environments. The studies compare test environments of Intel® vPro™ processor technology equipped PCs vs non-Intel® vPro™ processor technology environments. Tested PCs were in multiple OS and power states to mirror a typical working environment. Actual results may vary.
Δ Up to 2x greater range and up to 5x better performance and improved battery life with optional Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N technology enabled by 2x3 Draft N implementations with 2 spatial streams. Actual results may vary based on your specific hardware, connection rate, site conditions, and software configurations. Also requires a Connect with Intel® Centrino® processor technology certified Wireless_N access point. Wireless-N access points without the Connect with Intel Centrino processor technology identifier may require additional firmware for increased performance results. Check with your PC and access point manufacturer for details.
