raccomanda Intel® vPro™ (28.02.08)
“vPro offers new value around manageability that can assist
organizations to reduce cost and increase system availability as part
of broader management initiatives.”
“All major OEMs offer vPro configurations making it a defacto
standard for enterprise systems.”
“Companies…should validate vPro and its management features in
their environments. Upon successful testing we believe
organizations should include vPro as part of their specification…”
“vPro’s AMT capabilities can provide value to most organizations in
the areas of remote support, power management, and system
control.”
“vPro can provide an unexpected payback to lower desktop power
consumption.”

“
…more than half of the companies surveyed saved 25 percent on their IT costs when
they let someone else -- service providers or value added resellers (VARs) -- handle their
technology… with managed services these numbers are dramatically improved with
the added benefits of predictable monthly costs and much more responsive service.
