In January 2008, BBVA in Spain began using PCs with Intel® Core™2 processor with vPro™ technology as server PCs in branch offices. The bank was particularly interested in the hardware-based technology because of the encrypted remote boot capability (via integrated device electronics redirect, or IDER) built into the PCs. Since implementing Intel® vPro™ technology on their 23,000 desktop PCs, BBVA has been able to securely and remotely reboot every server PC after a transmission failure then retransmit the required data – without employee involvement.
