Intel® vPro™ technology
Intel® vPro™ technology is supported by Model A computers only. This set of
technology features, built into the computer's motherboard, allows Information
Technology departments remote access to the computer. This allows the IT depart-
ment to monitor, maintain and manage computers regardless of the state of the op-
erating system or the computer's power state. This can be done over a wired or
corporate wireless network, or even outside the corporate firewall through a wired
5
LAN connection.
