InternetNewer vPro Sports More Security Features

Second generation coming next month, Nehalem support due in a year.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Intel is preparing the second generation of its vPro remote management technology and is promising more goodies in the third generation, which will take advantage of new features and functionality in the new Nehalem family. vPro is not found in any single component of a computer. It is a combination of processor technologies, hardware enhancements, management and security features for remote PC administration. It allows administrators to access a system regardless of the operating system or whether the computer is on or off. There are a number of requirements to be classified as a vPro PC, although most of those features are standard these days. They include multi-core processors, Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), remote configuration technology for AMT, wired and wireless network connection, Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) and Intel Virtualization Technology. vPro is one of those Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) products you don't hear about much, but according to Andy Tryba, director of marketing for the Digital Office Products division, more than 60 percent of the Fortune 100 have deployed and use it.
