With Intelligent Manageability, Compaq responds to the need that customers have for easy-to-
manage computers in stand-alone and networked environments. Compaq addresses this need by
focusing on five primary customer concerns:
•
Asset Management—Provides the user with detailed configuration information about the
computer and allows the system administrator to inventory and track computers and
components from one central location.
•
Fault Management—Provides the user and system administrator with prefailure and other
alerts. Prefailure alerts generate advance warnings to minimize downtime and data loss from
hardware failures.
•
Security Management—Prevents unauthorized access to critical data and valuable computer
components.
•
Integration Management—Uses industry-standard technologies while partnering with
computer management software vendors.
•
Configuration Management—Provides the latest drivers, utilities, and support software to
optimize computer performance; available on CD-ROM and the Compaq Web site at
http://www.compaq.com.
Intelligent Manageability also addresses the following concepts:
•
Hardware and software—Enables customers to manage computers intelligently. This
management tool is designed for computers in both mobile and connected environments.
•
Innovation and standardization—Establishes a non-proprietary approach to solving
manageability issues through the Compaq Management Solutions Partners Program, ensuring
tight integration and compatibility with leading computer management software vendors.
•
Total Cost of Ownership—Protects the investment by increasing its value over the life of
the product and reduces the total cost of owning one or more computers.
•
Product Parity—Includes virtually the same Intelligent Manageability functionality across
all platforms on all commercial portable and desktop computers.
