    INTEL vPro® vs. AMD® PRO* OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT WHITE PAPER MARCH 2020 Deborah Mrazek Senior UX Strategist Colin Bay Chief Research Officer concreteUX.com OUT-OF-BAND MANAGEMENT (OOBM) PLATFORM COMPARISON DASH IT administrators and decision-makers seek the best solution for managing their networked endpoints for both wired and Wi-Fi connected devices when powered off or the OS isn’t running COMPETITIVE (i.e., out-of-band management). Hired by Intel as a third party, we put management of the Intel vPro® platform to the test in the ASSESSMENT hands of some pretty savvy IT administrators, then asked them to compare its capabilities with AMD PRO—you’ll want to hear what they had to say. They had some compelling ideas about which of these two platforms most capably and robustly meets the growing need for remote, in-band, and out-of-band endpoint management. THIRD-PARTY TESTING FINDS AMD® PRO MANAGEABILITY LAGS This white paper investigates and compares manageability aspects of the AMD PRO and Intel vPro platforms, with a focus on functionality, usability, and standards adherence. AMD ® BEHIND INTEL VPRO PLATFORM suggests that AMD PRO is more robust and more compatible than Intel vPro technology. We found stark differences. We’ll show you why. We’ll present user experience test findings, expert reviews, and analyses that spotlight the Intel vPro platform’s advantages, particularly in critical areas like security, features, and out-of-band management over Wi-Fi—one of the biggest advantages of the Intel vPro platform. We’ll also address knowledge gaps in customer understanding.

  • Citrix and Intel Deliver Client Virtualization
    SOLUTION BRIEF Citrix XenClient and Intel vPro Technology Citrix and Intel deliver client virtualization Citrix and Intel work together to deliver local virtual machine desktops, aiming to make virtualization ubiquitous on client devices. In January 2009, Citrix announced a formal agreement to develop a Xen®-based bare-metal client hypervisor technology in conjunction with Intel.1 The result of the collaboration is Citrix® XenClient™, a local desktop virtualization platform that provides new levels of security and user flexibility for enterprise desktops. XenClient enables IT administrators to deliver each employee’s corporate desktop as a secure virtual machine (VM) that runs directly on that user’s computer. XenClient ensures that corporate applications and data are completely isolated from personal data, greatly increasing security and simplifying regulatory compliance. New desktop deployments, hardware upgrades, and employee moves are less of a problem—IT administrators can quickly deliver a new desktop or move an existing one to any XenClient- enabled device. And because the desktop and applications execute locally, users are free to work online or offline with all the rich performance and experience of a traditional computing environment. 1 http://www.citrix.com/English/ne/news/news.asp?newsID=1685761 www.citrix.com Introducing Citrix XenClient The goal of client virtualization is to provide secure desktops with the flexibility and freedom users demand to carry out their business and personal computing needs. XenClient enables this vision by taking advantage of Intel® vPro™ technology—a collection of powerful manageability solutions found on select Intel® Core™ i5 and Core i7 processors. Intel vPro technology provides enhanced security and manageability, and it improves remote maintenance both inside and outside the firewall through Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT), a component of Intel What’s new in Intel vPro vPro technology.
