Product demonstration
Out-of-band KVM
Users no longer need to rely on a functioning operating system and network drivers to take control of a PC. VNC Viewer Plus with the 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor provides out-of-band access so that more complex issues can be diagnosed remotely, such as OS failures and boot problems. Without the need to take a trip to the console, productivity will increase and users will experience less downtime.
Remote Reboot
Even if it is possible to obtain an out-of-band remote control session, sometimes a computer will be found in a state that it won't respond to keyboard or mouse input. VNC Viewer Plus with the 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor provides a function to perform a hardware reset, allowing a technician to resume diagnosis without a desk-side visit.
Remote Power On/Off
With the increasing emphasis on energy saving, many users turn their PCs off before leaving work for the day. This can make a technician's job difficult when out-of-hours maintenance is required. VNC Viewer Plus with the 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor provides a function to power a machine up and down again as required, providing a simple solution to this common problem.
Security
VNC Viewer Plus connects using the built-in security features provided by the 2010 Intel® Core™ vPro™ system. With appropriate additional configuration on the target system, VNC Viewer Plus provides extra security in the form of TLS, providing protection from connection snooping, man-in-the-middle attacks and packet-tampering attacks.
IDE Redirection
Following an OS failure, boot record corruption or similar, technicians are often faced with computers that will not boot from their own hard disk drive. Such problems would involve a desk-side visit to resolve. It will be possible to connect out-of-band using VNC Viewer Plus and boot that PC from a remote CD or image.
