Information technology managers face critical decisions to ensure their organizations’ IT health and employee satisfaction. From data security to deploying the latest Windows 10 version, IT managers face internal and external challenges to keep their technology fleet up to date. Add to that their need to manage a heterogenous device environment, many issues potentially hinder end-user productivity. But there are solutions to help alleviate these challenges.
The Intel® vPro™ platform is the foundation for business computing. It offers the best performance to help drive employee productivity, built-in security technologies to help protect businesses, remote manageability to help lower operational costs and more stability to decrease computing disruptions. With each new processor generation, Intel builds upon the Intel vPro platform to deliver:
• Performance. The new Intel Core vPro processors are the highest performing processors for business.
• Security. Intel vPro offers heavyweight protection of valuable corporate assets with strong hardware-enhanced security features.
• Manageability. Intel vPro has built a reputation for world-class remote maintenance and wireless device manageability.
• Stability. Intel vPro has a track record of trust with a consistent, reliable cadence of standardized delivery of changes.
New 9th Gen Intel Core vPro processors
Intel is ushering in a new era of productivity, creativity, and connectivity to give employees powerful new ways to work. For the first time ever, Intel Core i9 processors (8-core/16 thread) processors reaching up to 5GHz on desktop and up to 4.8GHz on mobile join the best for business Intel vPro platform, delivering superior performance on demanding workloads. What this means is that PCs with 9th Gen Intel Core vPro processors offer up to 27% better overall performance and up to 27% faster data visualization than a 3-year-old PC.
Intel Optane™ memory H10 with solid-state storage enables up to 100% faster launch of documents while transferring large files – and that’s compared to the same system with a traditional SSD alone. This minimizes the frustration of waiting for apps to load while multitasking. Intel Optane memory H10 delivers the responsiveness to work efficiently and spend less time waiting.
Employees also need strong, fast, and reliable connectivity to contribute their best work. That’s why new 9th Gen Intel Core vPro processors will enable Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), the latest and fastest Wi-Fi available, with enhanced WPA3 security, and nearly 40% faster Wi-Fi speeds. This allows people to not only work from anywhere, but also enjoy a premium experience – with world class performance for the most demanding applications, including video conferencing, real-time collaboration, and content-sharing.
Built-in security features with Intel Hardware Shield
IT can count on new 9th Gen Intel Core vPro processor-based PCs to deliver built-in security features for increased platform protection. With cyber-security threats constantly mounting, businesses have to think beyond application level security and think about protecting their systems below the operating system. Intel Hardware Shield technology delivers out-of-the box protection to help defend against firmware attacks. Intel Hardware Shield helps ensure your OS runs on legitimate hardware and helps provide hardware to software security visibility, helping enable the OS to enforce a more complete security policy. Importantly, no additional IT infrastructure is required.
