We had the Intel vPro technology Challenge at MMS 2008 - a competition where teams of two competed to fix a troubled PC using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 with PCs with Intel vPro technology. Check out how much fun this Challenge was at MMS 2008 this year:
Sometimes within Intel Marketing, we're told that our description of Intel Centrino with vPro technology or Intel Core 2 with vPro technology is a bit lengthy. Therefore, while at MMS 08, we asked Intel customers as well as technical experts from Intel and Microsoft to give us their best, most concise acronym that best describes Intel vPro Technology. Listen to their responses below.
When Intel released Intel vPro technology into the marketplace in 2006, the press asked us what the "v" in Intel vPro technology meant. Now that the technology has been in the marketplace for almost two years, we thought that the best answer to the question, "What does the "v" in Intel vPro technology mean to you?" would come from Intel customers, as well as from some of the technical experts from Intel and our partners who deal with our customers on an almost daily basis. See their answers below.
While at ManageFusion, we had Symantec Director of Strategic Alliances Kevin Unbedacht discuss how Intel vPro Technology enhances the Symantec Altiris Client Management Suite. The videos below include demonstrations around power management with secure power-on, remote diagnosis and repair of troubled PCs, isolation and repair of infected PCs, and discovery of PC assets.
While at ManageFusion, we had a chance to talk with Lee Bender, Senior Technical Strategist for the Intel Alliance at Symantec Corporation.
Lee showed off how the Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (BESR) takes advantage of Intel vPro technology. Intel vPro technology extends the reach of BESR, and helps prevent an IT administrator from visiting an end-user's desktop or notebook by enabling remote diagnosis and repair of a downed PC with an unavailable Operating System.
