An option on HP Compaq dc7700 Business Desktop PCs, DriveLock provides advanced password protection to help prevent unauthorized access to data stored on internal hard drives.

HP Client Management Solutions. Simplify management across the total PC lifecycle with HP Client Management Solutions to help reduce cost, complexity and service disruptions.
Now you can proactively track PCs, respond to alerts, make BIOS changes and update software remotely. You can even automate PC identification and inventory or initialize the latest embedded security.
The ability to do all these things proactively (out of crisis mode) can significantly reduce downtime and the need for desk-side PC maintenance.
Automated processes — image deployment and migration, software distribution and security patch management — can also speed management tasks and increase productive time for both you and end users.
Intel® vPro™ technology management features. With optional Intel® vPro™ technology, you can simplify PC management even further. For example, you can reduce expensive on-site maintenance visits with the ability to remotely boot, diagnose and restore PCs. And you can do so even when the PC isn't powered on or able to boot up. It just needs to be plugged in and connected to the network.
A common software image across the HP Compaq dc7700 series reduces test time and support costs by allowing you to deploy an image developed on one platform to all platforms within the series.
For a more stable and longer lifecycle, HP maintains consistent hardware components and a single software image within the HP Compaq dc7700 family for a minimum of 15 months, so there are fewer changes for you to manage. With HP's Global series SKU program, one part number lets you order, deploy and manage a consistent configuration and software image across the world, which can reduce procurement and management costs.
With HP's most secure and manageable business desktop PC family, you can worry less about your IT investments and focus more on achieving your critical business goals. Find out what the HP Compaq dc7700 family can help your business achieve today.

The HP dc7700p PC is enabled for Intel® vPro™ technology. Some
functionality of this technology, such as Intel Active and Intel
Virtualization Technology, requires additional third-party software in
order to run. Availability of future 'virtual appliance' applications for Intel vPro
technology is dependent on third-party software providers. Compatibility
of this generation of Intel vPro technology-based hardware with future
'virtual appliance' applications and Microsoft Windows Vista™ operating
system is TBD.

Dual Core is a new technology designed to improve performance of
multi-threaded software products and hardware-aware, multi-tasking
operating systems and may require appropriate operating system software
for full benefit. Check with software provider to determine suitability.
Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from
use of this technology. 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information.
