If we have time we will try to fit in some "Tech-Tips Live" so bring your tough questions. We will NOT create a Podcast out of this meeting. Pizza and beverages will be provided by Boston Area Windows Server UserGroup ( www.WindowsBoston.com ) 7:00- 9 :00 - Technology Update from Intel (Ernesto Martinez) Intel will be presenting some of the issues in today's business surrounding managing PCs across the enterprise and how technologies like Intel Active Management Technology can be used to increase your management capabilities and efficiencies. A major barrier to greater IT efficiency has been removed by IntelR Active Management Technology (IntelR AMT). Using built-in platform capabilities and popular third-party management and security applications, Intel Active Management Technology allows IT to better Discover, Heal, and Protect their networked computing assets. Here's how: Discover: IntelR Active Management Technology (IntelR AMT) stores hardware & software information in non-volatile memory. With built-in manageability, Intel AMT allows IT to discover the assets, even while PCs are powered off**. With IntelR AMT, remote consoles do not rely on local software agents, helping to avoid accidental data loss. Heal: Intel AMT's built-in manageability provides out-of-band management capabilities to allow IT to remotely heal systems after OS failures. Alerting & event logging help IT detect problems quickly to reduce downtime. Protect: Intel AMT featuring Circuit Breaker capability protects your network from threats at the source by proactively blocking incoming threats, reactively containing infected clients before they impact the network, and proactively alerting IT when critical software agents are removed. Intel AMT also helps to protect your network by making it easier to keep software and virus protection consistent and up-to-date across the enterprise. Third party software can store version numbers or policy data in non-volatile memory for off-hours retrieval or updates. Intel will then relate how Intel Active Management Technology can be found in PC's featuring the all new designed for Business IntelR vProT technology . IntelR vProT technology is the future of the digital office. It provides critical capabilities not found in previous generations of business PCs or software-only solutions. You can manage desktops that are powered down or where the OS is inoperable-all with full support for Microsoft Windows Vista*. With Intel vPro technology, you can spend less time managing your PCs and more time focusing on strategic business initiatives. 9:00 - 9:30 - Hand in evals for door prizes
