The Intel vPro platform is a set of technologies in business-class laptops and desktops that provide fast processors, advanced BIOS-level remote management capabilities, hardware validation and support, and built-in endpoint hardware-enabled security. This functionality is enabled by several technologies built into Intel vPro-based devices and included with the Intel vPro platform such as Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA), Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (Intel® SIPP), and Intel® Hardware Shield. These technologies scale with IT groups and organizations and are especially effective when the majority of endpoint devices in an environment are Intel vPro-based devices.
Intel commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying Intel vPro as their standard endpoint platform. 1 The purpose of this study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the potential financial impact of Intel vPro as an endpoint standard on their organizations.
