Intel Virtualization Technology:

Virtualization cannot be all things to all people, as some might have you believe. But it does present opportunities when it

comes to controlling costs, improving security and compliance, enhancing business continuity, and providing the basis for more efficient PC management. Recent advances in technology give IT a wide range of desktop virtualization options to choose from, including local, virtual container, streamed, and remotely hosted—each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Regardless of which opportunities and options you choose to embrace, there must be proper safeguards in place. An “intelligent client” approach, based on 2nd generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors, can provide the foundation for a highly manageable and secure platform that protects corporate assets while optimizing the user experience.

With intelligent clients, you can:

• Boot software into a trusted state and protect credentials during both orderly and disorderly shutdowns, protecting the integrity of the client and critical business.
• Make virtualization more efficient and improve performance to near-native levels or better with Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT),¹ which eliminates the performance overhead of software-only virtualization and allows for robust security support.
• Improve isolation of one virtual environment from another with hardware-based technology that virtualizes the processor, memory, and directed I/O. Combined with leading virtualization software from companies such as Citrix and Microsoft, this can significantly help to improve security for critical processes and sensitive data.
• Enable IT help desk staff to remotely manage data security settings or unlock encrypted drives that require pre-boot authentication even when PCs are powered off with hardware-based technologies that reside below the OS level.
