Intel has teamed with leading companies and computer industry experts to publish a comprehensive IT Best Practices Series of books. The result is a single reference source for IT professionals who plan, develop, deploy, and manage Intel® Architecture-based e-Business environments. 

In this latest issue of the Intel Premier IT Professional program’s IT best practice magazine, Intel and industry leaders provide insights on successful technologies and practices to get you started on your way to IT Utopia.  Highlights include an Intel Product Roadmap from two perspectives (”tops-down” from industry trends and “bottoms-up” from the microprocessor), an interview with Intel CIO John Johnson, and an article on how Sony Imageworks utilizes their 8500 core data farm.

In this Intel Premier IT magazine article, Intel CIO John “JJ” Johnson talks about how Intel IT has upped the ante on the information aspect of IT while continuing to focus on technology. The components: a focus on design center efficiency, ERP replatforming, social media, and business process improvements.

Several times a year, Intel employees meet and plot how to hijack shipments of microprocessors, sell our intellectual property to competitors, blackmail our coworkers, and hack our networks. And we pay them to do it. We even provide lunch.  This article describes how Intel Information Security teams participate in wargaming exercises to better understand vulnerabilities and identify holes in the company’s defenses.

Intel IT developed a unique standardized threat agent library (TAL) that provides a consistent, up-to-date reference describing the human agents that pose threats to IT systems and other information assets. The TAL quickly helps risk managers identify accurately and understand the importance of relevant threat agents. The library consists of 22 standardized archetypes defined using eight common attributes; the archetypes represent external and internal threat agents ranging from industrial spies to untrained employees. The library is designed to overcome the lack of standard threat agent definitions and the problem that threat information is often fragmented and sensationalized.   This white paper discusses the process Intel used to develop the TAL, and also includes a current library of threat agents and their defining attributes.

This new white paper from the Intel marketing group describes how Intel® Centrino® with vPro™ technology features hardware-based proactive security and built-in management capabilities that readily integrate with management solutions to help lower IT management costs and improve IT efficiency.  Plus you’ll find a link to an ROI estimator that will help you get a handle of the cost and savings of deploying Intel® Core 2 Duo with vPro technology and Intel Centrino with vPro technology.

In this peek inside Intel’s IT operations, Intel examines progress against 2007 goals including operational excellence, performance and profitability.  The in-depth report also evaluates key programs including data center efficiency, enterprise resource planning transformation, and IT governance programs.
