Compaq pioneered desktop manageability in 1995 with the
introduction of the industry's first fully manageable desktop
personal computers. Since then, Compaq has led an industry-
wide effort to develop the standards and infrastructure required
to effectively manage desktop workstations. Compaq Intelligent
Manageability provides standards-based solutions for managing
and controlling desktops in a networked environment. Compaq
works closely with leading management software solution
providers in the industry to ensure compatibility between
Intelligent Manageability and these products. Intelligent
Manageability is an important aspect of our broad commitment
to providing you with lifecycle management solutions and
services to assist you with the four phases of the desktop
workstation lifecycle—planning, deployment, management, and
transitions.
This chapter summarizes the capabilities and features of the
three key components of Intelligent Manageability:
Asset tracking and security
Fault notification and recovery
Software updating and management
The chapter also contains an overview of the tools, utilities, and
information Compaq provides to help you successfully deploy
manageable desktop workstations.
Support for specific features described in this chapter
may vary by model or software version.
