Intelligent Manageability for Armada Portable Products Intelligent Manageability is Compaq's management solution that lowers the total cost of computing by making PCs more manageable and less expensive to own. This white paper discusses the full set of Intelligent Manageability features available for Compaq Armada portable PCs and the Presario 1710SB. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Intelligent Manageability is Compaq's response to customers' need for easy-to-manage PCs in stand-alone and networked environments. Compaq addresses this need by focusing on five areas of primary concern for customers today: • Asset Management-provides the user with detailed configuration information about the PC and allows the System Administrator to inventory and track PCs 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 PC components. • Integration Management-uses industry-standard technologies while partnering with industry-leading PC Management software vendors. • Configuration Management-provides the latest drivers, utilities and support software to optimize PC 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 PCs intelligently. It is a management tool designed for portables 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. It ensures tight integration and compatibility with leading PC Management software vendors. • Total Cost of Ownership: Protecting your investment by increasing its value over the life of the product thereby reducing the total cost of owning one or more PCs. • Product Parity: Currently, all commercial portable and desktop PCs include virtually the same Intelligent Manageability functionality across all platforms. The remainder of this White Paper presents each Intelligent Manageability feature in detail including technical descriptions of how they work together to form a cohesive management solution. This document is intended for Compaq personnel and customers with a need for information on Intelligent Manageability for Armada Portable Products. 1
