IT Solutions and Services has worked very closely with Intel to
solidify the success of the vPro technology a technology that
allows its services to be delivered with enhanced management
capabilities, increased security and within an optimal virtual
environment. The Company has already adopted vPro technology into
its own IT infrastructure and services portfolio. Further, Siemens
has developed a formal assessment tool which they offer to current
and prospective clients that allows them to determine potential
cost savings and provides an analysis of how they can take
advantage of vPro technology. "For Siemens IT Solutions and
Services, the new Intel Core vPro processor family has successfully
moved from an ideal concept to a "must have" for IT organizations,"
said Michael Kollar, Chief Architect for Siemens. "We have worked
extensively with Intel throughout the evolution of the technology
and have been a part of the assessment process since the beginning.
Intel Core vPro technology will allow us to craft our services to
deliver intelligent security and cost-reducing management
capabilities, all with optimal performance and minimal power
consumption. Intel Core vPro technology has helped both Siemens and
our customers further evolve our IT operations and capitalize on
the performance advantages and cost savings of virtualization.
Further," said Kollar, "our assessment model will help clients
better understand how we have made it happen throughout our own
vast IT structure and the potential benefits they could realize by
deploying vPro technology." Siemens believes that these new
processors and technologies represent a transformation in service
offerings that will lead to dramatic changes throughout the IT
infrastructure impacting everything from data centers and
server-centric platforms to truly virtual desktops. The Company is
planning to utilize the Intel Core vPro processor family to help
their customers transform their IT enterprise landscape by
deploying it across multiple devices, from thin client to rich
client environments. "By deploying notebook and desktop PCs with
Intel Core vPro technology, IT managers should realize security,
manageability and energy saving improvements afforded by it. Within
our own environment, we've seen notable improvements in all three
areas and we are confident that our customers can realize similar
benefits. We've seen improved service levels, lower cost per seat,
and added security in our own operations and our customers are
seeing up to 20 percent improvement gains in their integrated
infrastructure management." Siemens will continue to collaborate
with Intel as they roll out the all new 2010 Intel Core vPro
processor family-based PCs. As companies look to cloud and thin
client computing environments, Siemens believes Intel vPro
technologies offer unique flexibility for the PC fleet to more
effectively do traditional client-based computing as well as next
generation virtual containers. About Siemens IT Solutions and
