In the business environment served by WM-data, it can be challenging to manage PCs from a central location, rather than through an on-site IT presence for each customer. Deskside visits are still required to manage and service PCs that do not respond to management software. There is a critical need for better tools that allow remote management of PCs, regardless of system power state or the state of the OS. WM-data has been evaluating the new hardware-based capabilities in PCs with Intel vPro technology. These capabilities include an "Always-available" remote communication channel, remote power-up, remote boot, console redirection, access to preboot BIOS settings, and other critical manageability and security capabilities.
