Stronger Endpoint Security Starts with a Hardware-Based Foundation White Paper 4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors and Intel® Atom™ Processors Intel and Windows 8.1* Mobility Stronger Endpoint Security Starts with a Hardware-Based Foundation Whether you use traditional management or mobile management solutions, keep your enterprise safer with devices built on a framework of hardware-assisted security Mobile Devices Need Stronger Protections When it comes to convenience and access in the enterprise, this is a golden age. Users can access corporate resources and data from their smartphones, tablets, or PCs from almost anywhere at any time. Of course, what’s convenient and productive for your users can be a security and management headache for your IT administrators as they strive to take advantage of increased mobility and the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend while securing corporate data. The personal nature and associated usage patterns of mobile devices make them prime targets for attacks. Users are not known for their security awareness. They install all sorts of apps on their mobile devices without regard for the security of those apps. Users allow apps to have all the device permissions the apps ask for even when the permissions are overreaching. Mobile devices are often shared between family members with little oversight over how they’re used or what websites and data they access. The devices also might frequent wireless networks that have dubious levels of security. Users then use these devices to access both personal and corporate data. These usage patterns put mobile devices and their users at higher risk from identity theft, malware, and other stealthy threats that can infiltrate systems at deeper levels to steal data or even take control of a device. Windows 8.1* now makes mobile management of PCs possible by adding more granularity for control of non-domain-joined mobile devices and support for mobile device management (MDM) products. By supporting the Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) API, Windows 8.1 enables you to manage devices through a low-overhead agent without needing to deploy a full management client on each device. But MDM products don’t offer the same level of control as traditional domain-joined management solutions. To strengthen endpoint security, you need a solution that builds from the silicon up to better ensure the integrity of the system even before the operating system starts. By using tablets, Ultrabook™ devices, 2 in 1 devices, and laptops powered by 4th generation Intel® Core™ processors and Intel® Atom™ processors running Windows 8.1, you can complement your MDM solution with strong, hardware-assisted security and with more comprehensive management, speed, and efficiency.1 Stronger Endpoint Security Starts with a Hardware-Based Foundation Table of Contents Strong Security Starts before the Each time the device is started, these Operating System combined technologies help ensure Mobile Devices Need that the deepest levels of the system Hardware-assisted security adds layers Stronger Protections . 1 are not tampered with.

  • Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (Intel® OPA) for Machine Learning
    Big Data ® The Intel Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) for Machine Learning Big Data Sponsored by Intel Srini Chari, Ph.D., MBA and M. R. Pamidi Ph.D. December 2017 mailto:[email protected] Executive Summary Machine Learning (ML), a major component of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is rapidly evolving and significantly improving growth, profits and operational efficiencies in virtually every industry. This is being driven – in large part – by continuing improvements in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems and related innovations in software and algorithms to harness these HPC systems. However, there are several barriers to implement Machine Learning (particularly Deep Learning – DL, a subset of ML) at scale: • It is hard for HPC systems to perform and scale to handle the massive growth of the volume, velocity and variety of data that must be processed. • Implementing DL requires deploying several technologies: applications, frameworks, libraries, development tools and reliable HPC processors, fabrics and storage. This is www.cabotpartners.com hard, laborious and very time-consuming. • Training followed by Inference are two separate ML steps. Training traditionally took days/weeks, whereas Inference was near real-time. Increasingly, to make more accurate inferences, faster re-Training on new data is required. So, Training must now be done in a few hours. This requires novel parallel computing methods and large-scale high- performance systems/fabrics. To help clients overcome these barriers and unleash AI/ML innovation, Intel provides a comprehensive ML solution stack with multiple technology options. Intel’s pioneering research in parallel ML algorithms and the Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) fabric minimize communications overhead and improve ML computational efficiency at scale.
