Before deploying any new technology, you need to know how it will fit into your business environment. By developing a deployment plan, you'll be able to evaluate the benefits of Intel Core 2 Processor with vPro and Intel Centrino with vPro Technology while meeting your business objectives.
Analyze your needs. When planning deployment, IT should take these factors into consideration: software, hardware, and equipment costs; human resources required; and the potential savings delivered by the new technology.
Identify IT management challenges. You need to know what your IT department is going to face in deployment so you can also understand how to resolve those challenges.
Map challenges to solutions. Once you have identified the challenges, map those challenges to the capabilities that Intel provides. For instance, Intel Core 2 Processor with vPro and Intel Centrino with vPro Technology provide "always-available" communication capabilities?, even if the PC is powered off, the OS is inoperative, or management agents are missing.
Set up, execute, and evaluate proof-of-concept testing. A proof of concept (POC) project can help IT to see what Intel Core 2 Processor with vPro and Intel Centrino with vPro Technology is capable of. POCs can help evaluate how these technologies work in your environment, while helping you to identify challenges and remove barriers with regards to management.?
Conduct an early-adoption pilot. By deploying a limited number of PCs with Intel Core 2 Processor with vPro and Intel Centrino with vPro Technology, IT can effectively identify the benefits as well as return on investment (ROI). It allows IT to identify and streamline tasks, benchmark process improvements, resolve issues, and train a select group of employees before deploying the technologies on a large scale.
? Intel? Active Management Technology requires the platform to have an Intel? AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. With regards to notebooks, Intel? AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off.
