Intel Today Unveiled Newest Intel vPro Processor Technology

Intel today released their newest vPro technology for businesses and IT. The new vPro has the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Intel Q35 Express chipset and several security and management related enhancements. The new vPro has the ability to wake and repair a computer with an inoperative operating system or hard drive. The security features included in vPro are designed to protect against software-based attacks and also filter and defend against viruses and other threats. The new Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) protects data by keeping data in each virtual partition protected from unauthorized access from software in another partition. The improved System Defense Filters in vPro can identify greater numbers and varieties of threats in the network traffic flow. The Intel vPro also offers an embedded trust agent certified by Cisco. This trust agent offers Cisco’s IT customers the ability to mange systems, even if powered off or the OS is down without lowering the security on 802.1x network and Cisco Self-Defending Network products. Intel Active management Technology allows for inventory and repair PCs “out of band” meaning even if the OS has crashed or the PC is turned off. Intel vPro processor technology will be among the first to comply with the Distributed Management Task Force’s DASH 1.0 draft interoperability specification and Web Services Management. Dell, HP and Lenovo will start shipping their vPro based computers very soon.
