Enabling Dynamic Virtual Client Computing with Intel® vPro™ Technology

Summary

Today, an emerging trend for many corporations is the abstraction of the traditional distributed computing model in which computing hardware, OS, data, and applications may be redistributed to enable alternative forms of business computing. This trend is driven primarily by the need to alleviate security and manageability complexity through increased data and image centralization. While the cost and complexity of PC management has been a constant struggle for IT managers, current trends in mobility, software delivery, end-user empowerment, and consumerization present further challenges to the client computing environment. Client virtualization technologies offer a viable path to address the objectives of IT organizations and end-users for policy-based control and flexibility, respectively. In this article, we introduce and expand on the Dynamic Virtual Client computing framework, based on Intel® vPro™ technologies as the IT solution response to address these needs and the associated barriers for alternative computing adoption. Further, we propose a combined hardware and software solution direction and vision that Intel is advancing jointly with ISV partners towards delivering a robust and flexible client virtualization platform.
