Seimens Adds Intel Core vPro Processors to its Offerings

Siemens IT Solutions and Services, Inc. reportedly announced the adaption of new Intel (News - Alert) Core i5 and Core i7 processors with vPro technology into its IT service offerings to bring about positive changes in the IT infrastructure that would impact everything from data centers and server-centric platforms to truly virtual desktops.  

 

According to Michael Kollar, chief architect for Siemens (News - Alert), the new Intel Core vPro processor family has successfully moved in to Siemens IT Solutions and Services offerings, which became an ideal concept to a 'must have' for IT organizations.

 

He said that the company has worked extensively with Intel throughout the evolution of the technology and have been a part of the assessment process since the beginning and this Intel Core vPro technology will let the company craft their services to deliver intelligent security and cost-reducing management capabilities, all with optimal performance and minimal power consumption.

 

Laptops and desktops with vPro technology enable IT administrators to use hardware-based technologies to manage and secure PCs through a wired or wireless network. The new platform also includes technology called Keyboard-Video-Mouse Remote Control (KVM Remote Control), which gives support personnel better control of PCs remotely.

 

The new Core i5 and Core i7 chips along with vPro technology, takes advantage of new instruction called Advanced Encryption Standard, for faster data encryption and decryption. That could help secure data residing in servers or virtualized environments.

 

Siemens will initially utilize the Intel Core vPro processor family to help their customers transform their IT enterprise landscape by deploying it across multiple devices, from thin client to rich client environments.

 

“Intel Core vPro technology has helped both Siemens and our customers further evolve our IT operations and capitalize on the performance advantages and cost savings of virtualization. Further,' Kollar said, 'our assessment model will help clients better understand how we have made it happen throughout our own vast IT structure and the potential benefits they could realize by deploying vPro technology.'

 

Siemens said that it will work together with Intel in further releases of Intel Core vPro processor family-based PCs, as it believes Intel vPro technologies offer unique flexibility for the PC fleet to more effectively do traditional client-based computing, as well as next generation virtual containers.
