Intel Vpro Videos

Matt Bodin of Intel IT shows us how to do some cool remote control tricks (or, as anyone in IT can attest, some powerful actions) on client laptops located anywhere in the world, such as installing SSD software and an OS, as well as resetting new user passwords.

Every day thousands of laptops are stolen or are lost. Most contain critical information. In this video, Intel’s Josh Hilliker gives us a demo of Intel Anti-Theft Technology. With this new “poison pill” feature, Intel can actually help prevent crime by remotely disabling a PC, and making it worthless to a a potential thief. For more information, be sure to download the Computrace with Intel Anti-Theft Technology Whitepaper.

Although the latest virus scare has yet to materialize into an attack security experts tell us that Conficker, as of April 1, 2009, remains dormant it puts a exclamation point on the notion that IT departments need clear vision of every PC in their networks as well as access to those PCs. The ability of the IT administrator to reach into the network goes beyond patches to negate worms. Many threats come from within the organization. In this video, Intel IT security specialists discuss new enterprise security use cases using Intel s vPro technology and address e-Discovery and investigations, data protection and loss prevention, and system health and updates.

It may seem obvious that planning pays. But for those CIOs and their staffs, managing an IT infrastructure often occurs in an environment where problems are moving targets. Many organizations have little time to plan ahead. But they must. You re not going to get there unless you have a plan, says Bob Stoddard, Intel IT Architect. He was on the team that molded Intel s IT plan starting in late 1990s. Almost a decade later, Intel s IT shop is seeing dividends from that plan in the form of lower TCO and improved client efficiency. vPro is really a beachhead for us in cracking the code to get closer to an end-to-end management solution, not just for the client, but across compute network and storage, says Prasad Rampalli, vice president of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group. vPro transcends clients all the way to the data center. In this podcast, Intel’s Josh Hilliker, Prasad Rampalli and Bob Stoddard discuss the role of planning and why IT architecture is crucial to success.

This is the second in a series of three videos from IT@Intel, each featuring Omer Ben-Shalom, principal engineer with Intel s Information Technology Group. In these videos Omer demonstrates how Intel vPro technology System Defense filtering can be integrated with Security Event Management systems to improve corporate response capabilities to virus outbreaks, while at the same time reducing the resources required and improving speed to response. This second video shows how a human operator can use these Intel vPro technology capabilities to quarantine an offending host which has been detected by the security event management system.
