This paper presents the results of research, sponsored by Intel and conducted by Wipro Product Strategy & Architecture (PSA) practice, designed to examine the potential impact of Intel Core 2 processor with vPro technology on the total cost of ownership (TCO) for business desktop PCs. This analysis examines how the Intel Core 2 processor with vPro technology can help reduce infrastructure complexity, and how the technology affects manageability and IT costs. In addition, this research extends concepts originally described in Wipro's New Insights on PC Management study4, which detailed the relationship between infrastructure complexity and overall PC support costs.
