6. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 6 Two key vPro engineering features 1.vPro operates outside of the operating system (OS) ­Operates irrespective of the OS that you are using ­If the OS goes down or is otherwise compromised, vPro is still intact and can be used to repair your box 2.vPro Manageability Engine (ME) operates outside of the central processing unit (CPU) ­Is available in all system power states ­Is independent of the OS that you are using

7. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 7 vPro platform architecture Memory Controller Memory Controller DDR2 FLASH SPI NVM BIOS RAM LAN IO Controller CPU SW Agents OS ME * NOC Filters M-Link Manageability Engine (ME) integrated in Memory Controller Hub (MCH). Dedicated processor for executing firmware (FW), Available in all system power states Flash – Shared flash stores compressed firmware, provides storage accessible in all system power states System Memory – Dedicated RAM to run decompressed FW Network Outbreak Containment (NOC) Filters – Integrated h/w filters to monitor inbound & outbound traffic SW Agents – Agent Presence checks for vital applications, SW services for manageability Sensors

8. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 8 Mobile caveat for vPro Intel® Centrino® with vPro™ technology systems are not manageable in Standby, Hibernate, or Off modes when using Battery Power (DC) -Design decision to preserve battery life

9. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 9 PCs with Strengthened Security Encrypted, Remote Power-On and Update Push security updates to PCs even if they are powered off Secure, remote deployment of patches without user interruption Reduce time required to deploy patches, reduces vulnerability Virus DAT file on PC updated and rebooted if necessary Encrypted power-off command sent to PC Network 3 4 IT Management Console reviews agent software report in management database for client DAT version to identify clients requiring update 1 2 IT Management Console Unique encrypted power-on command issued by IT console

10. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 10 IT console polls PCs for unique client ID_ PC reports unique client ID back to IT console even if powered down IT Management Console 1 Network PCs with Superior Manageability Remote Asset Inventory Count networked PCs even when powered down or the OS is inoperable Faster, more accurate than manual audits Assist compliance with government regulations 2

11. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 11 PCs with Superior Manageability Hardware and Software Inventory Remote hardware inventories assist with upgrade planning or lifecycle management Reduce duplicate licensing fees with accurate software inventories IT Management Console IT console polls PC for hardware IDs and software versions regardless of power state PC reports hardware IDs and software versions 1 2 Network Accurately inventory hardware and software assets Hardware: Hard drive: Make, model Memory: Size, speed CPU: Type, GHz Software: Virus SW: Version Management SW: Version OS: Version11

12. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 12 PCs with Superior Manageability Remote Diagnostics and Repair Reduce the number of deskside visits Rapid response gets users up and running quickly PC remotely rebooted from standard image on management server Technician diagnoses problem and repairs issue as appropriate (remote SW update, local HW install) 3 Network 4 PC unable to boot 1 PC sends an alert 2 IT Management Console Diagnose, reboot, and repair PCs down-the-wire

13. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 13 PCs with Strengthened Security Hardware-Based Isolation and Recovery Hardware filters add a new level of security to your PC fleet Isolation helps prevent infected PCs from spreading viruses IT Management Console PC sends alert 3 1 32 inbound and 32 outbound hardware filters inspecting traffic 4 IT console traffic allowed to pass through filters to remediate PC Network HW Filters X When virus is found, filter quarantines system by isolating the OS from the network while keeping remediation channel open to the console 2 Filter harmful viruses and isolate infected PCs

14. Intel ® vPro™ Expert Training 14 Network PCs with Strengthened Security Agent Presence Checking Security agents in place reduce IT vulnerability IT Management Console IT management console repairs non-working security agent PC alerts IT console that security agent is missing or non-functioning 4 3 2 Security agent fails to check in 1 Security & management agent continuously check in with Intel vPro technology Agent Present?
