A training course on configuring and using Intel vPro Technology in an Altiris environment can be requested from Symantec training

 

The course summary is posted below, and can also be found at the Symantec Education site:

  • Go to http://education.symantec.com
  • Navigate to section 9, labeled "Infrastructure Operations" at the bottom of the page

If you click on the course name, it will lead the PDF document which is attached within this posting.

 

If you click on the "View" button, you will note that no courses are scheduled.  However, you can request additional information or schedule a session for your location by contacting Symantec at 800-327-2232 (option 4) or send an email to americas_education@symantec.com.

 

The training course was developed about a year ago, and was originally listed as the A100 course.  It is built on the Altiris CMS v6 environment, yet the core principles are the same for CMS7.  To get a glimpse of how Intel vPro and Altiris work together, see http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/combining-band-and-out-band-management - which includes an attachment of a CMSv7 video demonstration.

Advanced solutions for PC management and security

Nearly 90 percent of an organization’s IT budget and time is spent keeping their business running securely and smoothly. When provisioned with Altiris solutions, computers with Intel vPro processor technology allow unprecedented ability to solve business IT problems. These are just a few examples—regardless of the computer’s power state or the health of the operating system:

  • Remove infected computers from the network while     preserving a remote IT connection to the affected computer for remediation   
  • Speed patch saturation by up to 56%.
  • Reduce end-user tampering, which interferes with     enforcing IT policies
  • Conduct hardware/software inventory up to 94% faster     per PC
  • Reduce the need for hardware/software desk-side visits     by up to 56%.
  • Remotely repair BIOS from an IT gold image

The combined strengths of Intel and Altiris means that network management and security are no longer reliant on a software agent, which minimizes exposure to end-user tampering.
