Intel vPro®, with the Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) platform, can help enterprises reduce costs and downtime and improve IT support. As an Intel Gold Partner, Anteriad and its experienced Intel vPro® Activation Team can help make the deployment process seamless at no additional cost.
Companies that purchase Intel vPro® devices do so at an extra premium of approximately $150 – $300 per unit. This additional technology includes extra security at a hardware level, as the AI Hardware Shield adds a security layer against cyber-attacks and performance boosts. However, most importantly, it includes the remote management tool, Intel® EMA (Endpoint Management Assistant)
Intel® EMA is hosted on your own server (on-premise or cloud), so companies can be assured that if their third-party remote management tool fails, they can readily attend to and deliver IT support to the entire organization.
Features of Intel® EMA include KVM sessions, running a terminal and file transfers. However, what sets the Intel® EMA apart from all other remote tools is its out-of-band capabilities which allow for booting to BIOS and re-imaging endpoints remotely over Wi-Fi and LAN.
In summary, Intel® EMA enables IT professionals to perform all tasks remotely as if they were physically present at the location. This boosts productivity, reduces downtime for both IT users and clients, and allows employees to comfortably work from home while troubleshooting devices stuck in a blue screen loop.
The monthly cost for a remote monitoring and management tool can range from $4.00 to $32.00 per device per month. For a company with 1000 endpoints in its fleet, this can add up to over $100,000 in annual expenses.
Intel® EMA can significantly reduce this cost for companies, freeing up budget for other IT projects. It is a license-free, comprehensive remote management tool you deploy on your own infrastructure.
To help companies leverage this technology, Intel® has created a fully funded Activation campaign that can assist in the integration, making the process quick and easy.
Users might find the implementation and integration challenging, which is why Intel offers assistance through official partners so end users can maximise the manageability features of the vPro devices. This support is available for those who have purchased vPro® devices at no additional cost.
Anteriad is one of Intel’s Gold Partners that offers an Intel fully funded vPro® proof of concept and pilot activation service. Our vPro® Integrations Specialists and vPro® Engineers have extensive technical expertise in this technology and can guide your team through the installation process so that you can start using the Intel® EMA as quickly as possible.
For those who are not familiar with Intel® EMA as well as how to activate their endpoints and start using this technology, this campaign provides free demos of the Intel vPro® and Intel® EMA to help better understand how this technology can help their organizations manage their entire fleet (and by doing so, cut costs).
Companies have the opportunity to test the tool on a sandbox server first to see it for themselves. Once they see the value that using Intel® EMA brings to their operations, our vPro Integrations specialists, along with our dedicated vPro® Engineers, will guide your team on how to prepare your environment correctlyso you can deploy the technology on your own infrastructure.
This fully funded campaign provides comprehensive support, Anteriad’s vPro® team are on hand to answer technical questions, fix and troubleshoot problems and provide post installation support. This is initially achieved through a series of 3 meetings:
Afterward, if more troubleshooting is needed, our team will be there to assist you with anything.
