Tyson started with 1,500 PCs (13% of their desktop environment), which were already capable of being managed with Intel® Standard Manageability, built into PCs with Intel® vPro™ technology. Within three days Tyson had enabled their infrastructure and three weeks later were well on their way to realizing the cost savings inherent in PCs with Intel vPro technology. Based on these results, Tyson plans to have 100% (11,500) of their desktop PCs refreshed with this technology over four years through their standard refresh program. (more…)
Intel IT developed a model for measuring return on security investments in our manufacturing environments that produces a much higher level of accuracy than other methods currently available. Our model has enabled us to make business-driven decisions about security programs, resulting in savings in excess of USD 18 million per year in avoided losses. (more…)
Each year, the annual performance report from Intel IT has provided Intel Premier IT Professionals with valuable benchmark data and insights into how Intel is doing in it’s corporate IT mission. One important focus we report on is how Intel IT is adopting Intel® vPro™ Technology to improve client manageability, provisioning 31,000 computers to date, and reducing support costs through remote diagnostics and repair services.
The progress toward 2008’s mission, Deliver competitive I + T, is also thoroughly documented with examples and data in this Information Technology 2008 Performance Report. Download your copy of this year’s comprehensive report to get insights on Intel IT’s progress in:
Security risks, the lack of mature technology and standards, and other concerns prevent widespread enterprise adoption of external cloud computing today. Intel IT is developing a cloud computing strategy based on growing the cloud from the inside out, initially growing our internal virtualized computing environment to support an increasing number of cloud-like attributes over time. Additionally, Intel is already taking advantage of external cloud computing technologies including software as a service (SaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). This white paper documents our findings and suggests which applications are not suitable and which are suitable for hosting in external clouds at present. (more…)
Intel IT has developed a PC platform performance benchmarking process that enables us to measure, manage, and optimize our client PC builds from the user perspective, resulting in improved platform performance and more realistic user expectations. Although each generation of PCs is faster than its predecessor, the application loads we place on them increase as well, preventing users from taking full advantage of hardware performance increases. As part of an integrated planning and release process, platform benchmarking helps solve this problem, increasing IT efficiency, productivity, and employee satisfaction, as well as proactive communication with suppliers.
