Today's PCs have traditionally been difficult to remotely or automatically inventory, diagnose, and rebuild when their power is off or their operating system (OS) is down. Users, hackers, viruses, and other threats can also disable or remove management and security agents, so IT administrators no longer have visibility or control of the PC or its hardware and software assets. Intel Centrino Pro and Intel vPro processor technology allows authorized IT technician to:

• Remotely and securely power up PC to receive a critical patch or update
• Protect systems even before OS or security agents are loaded
• Filter network traffic even after the OS is inoperative
• Protect management processes and software agents
• And much more
