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.

There's a revolution afoot in the computer industry that's not so sci-fi. It's more in line with the notion of "heavy lifting" and "blocking and tackling." Corporate networks are benefiting from software at the chip level below the operating system. Intel has been providing the software building blocks for greater functionality in the hardware in vPro and CentrinoPro. The updates to the technologies continue in 2008 with "Danbury," which performs core encryption in hardware. PodTech's Jason Lopez interviewed Intel's Steve Grobman, director of business client architecture.Tags: Corporate networks, vPro, CentrinoPro, Danbury, core encryption, Steve Grobman

In this video podcast, IT pros from the Enterprise Soutions Group at Intel join Josh Hilliker, manager of the Intel vPro Expert Center, to discuss vPro activation. "We have studies that show that on the laptop or notebook side, it saves you $50 per year and on the desktop side it saves you approximately $230 per year by utilizing the vPro technology," says Mike Seawright, of the enterprise solutions group. In other words, it's worth it to go all the way through the activation process now, because otherwise, "you're losing out on that cost savings." Terry Cutler, also of the enterprise solutions group, says it differently: "I'm more than happy for people to buy the technology, but I think they'd be even better off if they'd actually use the technology."Tags: Enterprise Soutions Group, Intel, Josh Hilliker, Intel vPro, vPro activation, laptop, notebook, desktop, Mike Seawright, Terry Cutler

With Intel vPro Technology, the enterprise has a measurable way to improve IT efficiency and cut costs significantly. Enterprises that deploy Intel vPro technology-based PCs as part of a comprehensive PC refresh program can expect to reduce hardware complexity and the expenditures associated with that complexity. Wipro conducted a survey of IT managers from 40 different companies in a variety of industries, asking about current desktop management activities and costs that could be reduced by PCs with Intel vPro technology. The results the research team came up with were impressive -- according to the white paper documenting their findings, a company with 32,000 desktops and a 4-year refresh cycle can achieve desktop management cost reductions of approximately $1 million in year one of the refresh, and as much as $7.5 million in year five, by which time the entire PC population would be part of a base featuring PCs with Intel vPro technology. In this video podcast, Intel Senior Business Marketing Manager Justin Van Buren, Wipro Chief Application Architect Patrick Kalaher, Wipro Architect Timothy Morey, and Intel's own Josh Hilliker discuss the technology and its implications for business with PodTech's Jason Lopez.

Gordon Moore's Law will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Intel Corporation's new 45nm Penryn microprocessor relies on a new recipe that combines the element Hafnium and metal gate technology to increase performance and significantly reduce eco-unfriendly, wasteful electricity leaks. The challenge for Intel to create a "new generation" of technology every two years -- a challenge laid out by Co-Founder Gordon Moore in the 1960s -- faces very real physical limitations. In fact, Moore himself has predicted the end of the rhythmic advances (more than once, too). In recognition of the 45nm technology but also for the innovation that will allow Intel to continue doubling, and doubling and doubling every two years, Penryn has already joined Apple's iPhone and other game-changing gadgets as a member of the elite group of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of the Year. In his Sept., 2007 article in the New York Times, G. Pascal Zachary noted that the hafnium-and-gate innovations are at the heart of Intel's ability to deliver increasingly speedy chips that won't, for example, explode into flames. Zachary's article shines the spotlight on Hafnium and Mark T. Bohr, the Intel physicist who oversaw its introduction into the process, since consumers will mostly be treated to the what-does-it-mean-to-me messaging that accompanies new technology -- not the where-did-it-come-from messaging that actually explains the developments. While consumers might not hear much about the element that replaces silicon oxide as the insulator in their new chips, they'll soon have a clear idea of how they'll benefit from using them. While it may be a closely-guarded secret where Intel's new Penryn chips will end up, HP and Lenovo announcements indicate that pick-up in the industry will be swift. (As always, Mac rumors abound, too.) Trumpeting energy savings and higher speeds for intensive projects like video encoding and multithreaded gaming, the new chips will soon re-set the industry standard, and of course the industry will be powering on behind the scenes. Intel is already deep into development on its next generation 22nm microprocessors, and if the speed of that effort is any indication, the technology behind computing is developing at a faster clip than in previous years (Intel says it may already be several months ahead of schedule when compared with earlier generations). Intel's new eco-friendly facility in Chandler, Ariz. was built specifically for the new 45nm production. Construction on Fab 32 began in August 2005, and you can observe pretty much the whole process in this video.

Energy management and energy efficiency in data centers: Intel and HP are working together to save energy and money while boosting computing performance. The Climate Savers Computing Initiative is one way that Intel and HP are working to create sustainable high-performance technology for the enterprise. How do the energy management capabilities achieved by deploying Intel's vPro platform contribute to power savings across an entire business? And what should the energy-conscious data center manager consider in trying to implement power savings in the data center? (More information on energy-effient chips related to this week's announcement from another sponsor of the initiative, Marvell -- a chip that actually determines the energy requirements of individual applications.

Tom Foremski, editor of Silicon Valley Watcher, led a panel discussion on Day 1 of the Fall Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. The panel dealt directly with the friction that often arises between the burgeoning social media forces in the enterprise and the IT groups that find themselves in opposition to the kinds of needs created by those newer social networks. The panel in this podcast includes Peter Kaminski, CTO of Socialtext, Jackie Medecki, attorney for social media and marketing at Intel, Jeff Moriarty, a social media/Web 2.0 design engineer at Intel, John Miner, an IT methodologist at Intel, and Eleanor Wynn, a social technology architect at Intel It's IT's stereotypical response ("No") to questions about setting up blogs and wikis, that prompts the debate. But as John Miner points out, most large companies inherently already have blogs and wikis -- they just don't realize it. This, he says, is because they tend to grow organically inside of large IT structures. But the fact is that the candor and conversation that make up the substance of blogs and wikis do tend to threaten some of the structures of the enterprise -- especially when it comes to legal concerns. How does Intel handle the challenges? Especially when it comes to the "gray areas?" This video podcast shows how one large corporation is navigating social media in the enterprise.

Gordon E. Moore, Intel retired chairman and CEO (and chairman emeritus of the board) spoke with Moira Gunn onstage at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, in what Intel called a "fireside chat." In this segment, find out whether or not you owe your workplace set-up to Moore and Intel (hint: you probably do). Also, was "Intel" ever the hame of a motel company in the Midwest? The conversation covered a full career, from a time before semiconductors, when the very notion of integrated circuits was new -- and controversial. Since then, of course, not only has Moore been on the winning side of the technology, but his name has become synomymous with the notion that the technology of the chip is on an aggressive development track -- "Moore's Law" has guided and challenged the chip industry for more than 30 years. (Asked if he regrets that name, he says, "I guess I don't - now.") An End to Moore's Law? Every year sees speculation about a possible end to Moore's Law. What does Moore, himself say (this year)? The answer is in this podcast. The physical world is subject to limiting factors, and Moore predicts that sometime in the foreseeable future, limits will be reached in the business of chip-making. However, Moore says he's still impressed at how well the industry has extended the technologies, so far. Moore easily recalls a time before the name Silicon Valley applied to the high-tech corridor south of San Francisco, but he was also remembers a time before the now-ubiquitous staple of office life worldwide. Cubicles. You may not like your cubicle much, but according to Moore, they came about in an attempt to keep the office from looking like a prison. Besides, he says, he still has the biggest cubicle at Intel. Gordon Moore co-founded Intel in 1968. To learn more, click here. Tags: Gordon E.

Live, from the "Upload Lounge" at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel Vice President and CIO John "JJ" Johnson spoke with PodTech for this podcast about some of the hot topics being talked about at this year's Fall IDF. Johnson talks about the many ways in which Intel's Enterprise Capability Framework helps enterprise data networks keep up with the demands associated with managing emerging technologies, including social media like IM, blogs and wikis as well as the newest generation of smart phones. A big part of the challenge facing the enterprise involves providing the requisite security without limiting capability. For the enterprise, Johnson highlights virtualization (a hot topic at the end of Day 1) and the value of Intel's vPro -- including advantages like the ability to fix or reboot a crashed machine in the network, or to analyze network machines remotely. It all points in one direction -- increased mobility brings increased demands, which together create what Johnson sees as the most interesting innovation in the last ten years.

Where do you turn on manageability in a network? Try at the chip level. Intel’s Pro technologies—CentrinoPro and vPro are changing the way IT shops manage large fleets of computers. Administrators now have the ability to see what’s happening to every laptop no matter where it moves around in the network. As Intel’s Josh Hilliker says, “If a box has been compromised physically, I know it has happened. If a box has got their memory changed, I know that has happened. If they’ve changed software, I know about it.” In this Intel podcast we go to Folsom, California to talk with Hilliker and his Intel cohorts who helped develop and test CentrinoPro.

In this Intel podcast, Matt Trevorrow and Jeff Wade of IT-outsourcing firm EDS explain how Intel’s vPro and Centrino Pro technology together are making the three million desktop and laptop computers they manage worldwide more secure, and more manageable. They also discuss how the innovation of remote security and manageability on the chip keeps the enterprise network safe and functional, wherever the company’s Internet wired or wireless users are located. vPro technology isn’t just making life better for IT professionals, says Wade; it’s offering, “an order of magnitude better performance for that end user,” who is what this technology should be all about.

Intel's answer to business users who want to be able to keep track of who's on the network, where and the security risks they pose is the growing Pro platform. It started with vPro, giving I.T. administrators the ability to see desktops and laptops down the wire, and address problems. But laptops are now the machine of choice for many knowledge workers. And unlike the mobile PCs of the past, since Centrino was introduced a few years ago it means that laptops have cut the cord. In this podcast, PodTech's Jason Lopez explores ideas of mobility from PC builder Lenovo, hardware manager EDS and from the chipmaker Intel.

With the release of Centrino Pro, the mobile environment is more open than ever. Five or six years ago most users were tethered to wires while on their laptops. Centrino unleashed a wave of mobility, limited by the number of WiFi hotspots available. Those hotspots have increased in number and that has begun to fill in the service side of the equation. But the laptops have gotten better, too. And that is catching the attention of businesses, which are getting less squeamish about exposing their networks to mobile PCs that touch all sorts of signals outside of the friendly confines of the enterprise. Centrino Pro, analysts say, is a step forward for business deployment of large fleets of laptops, especially in Intel's vPro environment. PodTech's Jason Lopez explores what Centrino Pro means to business users. Related Stories: IntelBusiness Tags: Centrino Pro, mobility, WiFi, hotspots, Intel, vPro, Jason Lopez, IntelBusiness

Intel has released its newest Centrino technologies for notebook computers. The company says the new hardware and software platform has improved processor and graphics performance, wireless connectivity, battery life, startup and loading time, as well as enhanced security and machine management for IT departments. The new technologies are Centrino Duo, for consumer machines, and the Centrino Pro, for business notebooks. The release of the new laptop technologies comes four years after Intel first launched the platform that made wireless connectivity and mobility a standard characteristic of notebook computers. "It really was a tipping point," said Karen Regis, a manager in Intel's Mobile Platform Marketing Group. "It really became the new norm. People expect to be able to sit on their couch and be on the Internet." "Now, what we're doing is we're just raising the bar on ourselves with what people can do with that wireless," she added. Regis says the new technology allows people to use their laptops at home or in business in ways that are more seamless. "Once you have that kind of throughput, coverage and reliability, you can start doing interesting things like high definition content." The rise of Internet-delivered video is one of the factors in the design of new Centrino technologies. Both the Centrino Duo and Pro technologies are based on Core2Duo chips. Centrino Pro laptops are designed to work within Intel's vPro environment where I.T. departments can more easily manage fleets of PCs and stay on top of security issues.

MENLO PARK, September 7, 2006 (PodTech News) — Intel Corporation director Will Swope said today that his company s new vPro technology package will make life for IT managers a whole lot easier. Swope, who directs Intel s digital enterprise management division, talked with PodTech s Catherine Girardeau about the business PC platform that Intel rolled out today. REPORTER S NOTES: Writer John G. Spooner has a thorough write-up on the vPro here. Here s the official Intel release on the vPro platform. Paul Mooney, for Net Developers Blog, doesn t have much to say, but posted some great photos of Manhattan from the Rainbow Room, where the vPro launch was announced. I don t blame him. Skyscrapers are probably a little easier to see than the vPro, and looking out at the Manhattan skyline from atop the Rainbow Room is probably one heck of a lot more scenic than a press conference. — Catherine Girardeau
