White Paper: The All New 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processor Family: Intelligence that Adapts to Your Needs
Today’s business challenges include:
• Critical need to become more efficient, reducing costs while still
reaching new customers
• Increased demand for video tools for mainstream communications,
both internal, such as for sales and marketing, and external, for
customers
• Exponential increase in security threats, along with a shift from
ego-based attacks to economically focused attacks
• Pressure from governments around the world to use PCs that are
more environmentally friendly and consume less power
Information Technology (IT) managers face a corresponding set of
challenges in managing PCs as strategic assets:
• Support an increasingly mobile workforce.
• Protect networks and assets both inside and outside the
corporate firewall.
• Reduce operating costs for managing and securing PCs.
• Support new, compute-intensive applications and the transition
to Windows* 7.
Organizations can no longer wait to capitalize on global integration
and advanced technology tools. The challenge for IT is to support
business goals, managing PCs as strategic assets. To do so, IT orga-
nizations need laptop and desktop PCs that are easier to configure,
manage, use, and secure.
New and proven technologies pair up to deliver
intelligent security, remote manageability, and
adaptable performance
Control meets cost savings in laptop and desktop PCs powered by
the all new Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family.
Laptop and desktop PCs with a new Intel Core vPro processor deliver
intelligent performance and unique hardware-assisted features that
improve security, remote manageability, and energy management.

New features in this new generation of processors include intelligent
security, such as Intel Anti-Theft Technology, and easier manageability –
including KVM Remote Control

(hardware-based keyboard video mouse)
and PC Alarm Clock. Additional new features for adaptable performance
include Intel® Turbo Boost Technology,
3
as well as AES-NI
8
(advanced
encryption standard – new instructions), to improve performance for
encryption and decryption. For example, using Intel AT, you can
remotely disable a PC with a “poison pill” that locks down the
system after it has been reported lost or stolen.
Access the PC virtually anytime, anywhere
The hardware-based capabilities of the all new 2010 Intel Core
vPro processor family are built directly into the PC’s hardware. The
capabilities let authorized technicians remotely access PCs that have
traditionally been unavailable to the management console. Technicians
can now manage the laptop or desktop PC even if PC power is off,
the OS is unresponsive, hardware (such as a hard drive) has failed, or
management agents are missing. Best of all, technicians can remotely
maintain, update, and repair both laptop and desktop PCs that are
outside the corporate firewall on an open wired or wireless
connection via a secure, protected tunnel.

Intelligent security, remote manageability, and adaptable performance
to help businesses cut costs and improve efficiencies
The way we do business has changed
In today’s global markets, business is increasingly borderless, and mobility is becoming mandatory. The amount of e-mail
that corporate users manage each day has also increased dramatically. Video has become mainstream for corporate
communications – the use of video conferencing alone is expected to double from 2007 to 2012.

At the same time,
countries around the world are implementing increasingly stringent energy-compliance regulations for PCs. In addition,
security threats continue to grow each year. Along with increased purchasing power in emerging markets, these shifts
are driving major changes in business models worldwide.
