Remote Workplace Management Solutions
Thanks to its collaboration with Intel®, Atos Origin is able to offer new, remote management and security capabilities by building Intel® vPro™ technology into its Atos™ Workplace Solutions. This improves IT services and increases user uptime.
Intel® vPro™ technology is Intel's premiere business desktop PC platform that provides new capabilities to address the highest costs in any IT budget. It offers major improvements in manageability, security, performance and energy efficiency.
By using this technology, Atos Origin is able to significantly reduce deskside visits and increase user productivity with improved remote management and security for PCs, allowing enterprises to focus on business and innovation, not on managing PCs and thus further improving the value of its workplace management services.
This initiative is part of a program of close collaboration between Atos Origin and Intel® to create flexible and innovative solutions that reduce the cost and improve performance and agility of IT for businesses. Intel® vPro™ technology was unveiled in April 2006, but Atos Origin has been collaborating with Intel® since May 2005.
Atos Origin performed extensive testing on Intel® Active Management Technology - a key component of Intel® vPro™ technology - and has incorporated support for Intel® vPro™ into Atos™ Workplace Solutions. This allows Atos Origin to offer the new solution almost as soon as systems with Intel® vPro™ technology are released to the market.
The benefits of combining Atos™ Workplace Solutions with Intel® vPro™ technology include:
Improved Problem Resolution
- Remote communication with PC even with PC power off
- Time savings for diagnosis of up to 86%
- Eliminates costly deskside visits for both software and hardware problems
- Systems can be serviced and repaired faster, leading to fewer problems and significantly improved user uptime
- Significant costs savings
Improved Security
- The cleaning and restoring procedure following a virus can be done remotely and the PC returned more quickly to the user network - productivity losses are minimized
- In case of a virus threat, all PCs can be shut down even if the OS does not respond
Improved PC Performance
- Problems linked to the performance are not always reported but can lead to serious productivity issues. Intel® vPro™ enables Atos Origin to use the remote power up capability to perform diagnostics and identify problems which then can be addressed
Intel® vPro™ technology provides the foundation that will enable Atos Origin to provide solutions that can reduce IT costs, provide greater security and easier manageability. The two companies are working closely together to bring solutions to businesses that allow them to prepare for the challenges of the future.
