Intel Corp. introduced vPro technology in Q3 of 2006 which was designed to help businesses automate the management of large fleets of personal computers. Intel vPro made it easier for computer administrators to fix problems remotely over the network, eliminating in many cases the need for them to make costly visits on-site. “It’s all about driving costs down and productivity up,” Intel CEO Paul Otellini said in an interview, he likened the product to “GeekSquad online,” referring to the computer repair people who staff Best Buy stores.

In its more recent iterations, Intel vPro for 11th and 12th-Gen Intel Core processors delivers professional-grade performance with a comprehensive set of capabilities to help protect and manage devices. Intel vPro supports more than PCs. Many laptops, workstations, mini-PCs, 2-in-1s, and all in ones are on the platform. The Intel vPro® platform powers a broad range of devices, including digital signage, interactive kiosks, industrial equipment, and collaboration solutions. This makes it possible to add the benefits of the vPro® platform to more parts of your business using the same tools.
