Notebook and desktop PCs with Intel® vPro™ technology integrate robust hardware-based security and enhanced maintenance and management capabilities that work seamlessly with ISV consoles from Altiris, LANDesk, Microsoft and Novell.  Because these capabilities are built into the hardware, Intel vPro technology provides IT with the industry's first solution for OS-absent manageability and down-the-wire security even when the PC is turned off, the operating system is unresponsive, or software agents are disabled.

Activation and Service-ability:  Because Intel vPro-enabled devices communicate with the network below the operating system level, they provide valuable asset information to the network console on the operation, performance, and reliability of the device.  CompuCom leverages this information to ensure full patching fidelity and low energy costs while keeping the network safe and compliant.

Enhanced Security:  The hardware-based capabilities of Intel vPro technology improve network traffic filtering and isolate clients under attack. Automatic security agents’ verification and immediate remote restoration capabilities enhance preventive security efforts.  Remote power-up functionality enables off-hours patches to be deployed faster, accelerating  patch saturation and reducing threat penetration.  Intel vPro devices also benefit from Intel’s Execute Disable Bit which protects your PCs from certain viruses that use buffer overflow attacks.

Maximizing Manageability:  PCs with Intel  vPro technology help IT professionals remotely manage, diagnose and repair both wired and wireless systems, reducing downtime and average in-person IT support time.  Intel vPro technology also allows you to conduct hardware and software inventories up to 94% faster than manually by facilitating remote asset tracking and checking the presence of management agents.
