Compaq addresses this need by focusing on five primary customer concerns: • Asset Management-provides the user with detailed configuration information about the computer and allows the system administrator to inventory and track computers and their components from one central location. • Fault Management-provides the user and system administrator with pre-failure and other alerts. Pre-failure alerts generate advance warning to minimize downtime and data loss from hardware failures. • Security Management-prevents unauthorized access to critical data and valuable computer components. • Integration Management-uses industry-standard technologies while partnering with industry leading computer management software vendors. • Configuration Management-provides the latest drivers, utilities, and support software to optimize computer performance; available on CD-ROM and the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com Intelligent Manageability also addresses the following concepts: • New industry-leading hardware and software-Intelligent Manageability enables customers to manage computers intelligently. This management tool is designed for computers in both mobile and connected environments. • Innovation and standardization-The Compaq Management Solutions Partners Program establishes a non-proprietary approach to solving customers' manageability issues, ensuring tight integration and compatibility with leading computer management software vendors. • Total Cost of Ownership-Protecting the investment by increasing its value over the life of the product reduces the total cost of owning one or more computers. • Product Parity-Currently, all commercial portable and desktop computers include virtually the same Intelligent Manageability functionality across all platforms.
