Dramatically reduce desk-side support calls while boosting security and fine-tuning user controls.
Intel® vPro™ Technology provides a built-in, hardware-based capability that allows remote PC management, maintenance and updates that have traditionally been inaccessible from IT management consoles. Intel® vPro™ Technology allows IT support to:
•
Deliver improved stability and security
•
Resolve more problems remotely so that many desk-side visits can be eliminated to save IT budgets
•
Reduce user interruption
PC support, whether in-house or contracted, is empowered to manage and protect PCs in new efficient, remote, and streamlined ways.
Intel® vPro™ Technology working together with HP's powerful dc7700p Business Desktop PC provides a framework that allows IT to be more proactive than ever, managing more PCs per technician than ever before1. You can experience heightened security, increased control over users and their desktops, and greater manageability than ever before.
The benefits of Intel® vPro™ Technology
Intel® vPro™ Technology has significant positive impacts on security and manageability, and combined with the HP Compaq dc7700p desktop, it can revolutionize the way you view your desktop computing infrastructure.
End users can inadvertently disable crucial processes or agents that are necessary for your security policy to function, such as antivirus update agents. Disabling an antivirus agent can have a devastating effect on security.
The HP Compaq dc7700p Business Desktop PC with Intel® vPro™ Technology works with 3rd party software vendors to:
•
Prohibit users from inactivating an agent and routinely check on the health of the agent
•
Quarantine infected PCs from the network to prevent the spread of a virus or other malicious code
•
Update antivirus and security software whether the PC is powered on or not, allowing for much faster saturation against fast spreading malware
•
Protect your network from viruses, worms and other threats by filtering packet traffic
•
Check PC system compliance and upgrade it remotely before allowing it on your network
The combination of Intel® vPro™ Technology, together with your third party management tools, can tell you when patches and updates haven't been installed because of user interference, giving you the power to enforce compliance across your business. Consult with your software vendor to determine exactly which vPro features are supported by that vendor's products. Not all vPro features are supported by all ISVs.
Greater manageability
HP Compaq dc7700p PCs equipped with Intel® vPro™ Technology can be accessed by IT support even when they aren't powered on, or can't boot. Support technicians sit at their desks and power on the computer, and then run diagnostics on it as usual.
•
Locate every dc7700p PC with Intel® vPro™ Technology on the network regardless of PC health for improved inventory and asset tracking
•
Track hardware and software assets by storing asset information in the dc7700p's nonvolatile memory, where it can be accessed by IT for accurate metrics whether the machine is on or not
•
Reduce deskside visits by using HP Compaq dc7700p PCs with Intel® vPro™ Technology for remote booting, diagnosis, and restoration
If you outsource your IT support, then Intel® vPro™ Technology is an even more essential addition to your business. The more your third party IT techs can fix on the telephone and remotely, the fewer expensive service calls you'll need to log.

The HP dc7700pp PC is enabled for Intel® vPro™ Technology. Some functionality of this Technology, such as Intel Active management Technology and Intel Virtualization Technology, requires additional 3rd party software in order to run. Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Intel® vPro™ Technology is dependant on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility of this generation of Intel® vPro™ Technology-based hardware with future "virtual appliances" and Microsoft Windows Vista operating system is to be determined
