[Intel VPRO Review: 2nd] Remote PC power supply!...... Success -Internet Watch [Sponsored]

I want to turn on my PC remotely!

``I want to turn on the power of a PC that is far away.'' Many people may feel that way with telework, which has become widespread in recent years.

　If the PC is turned on, it can be operated using remote desktop software, but if the power is off, it cannot be operated without going to the PC. Even if you change BIOS settings or have trouble during reboot, you still need to go "on the spot".

　The "Intel vPro Platform" can be used in such an environment.

It is the Intel vPro platform that firmly realizes "I want to turn on the power remotely" and ensures high security based on that. You can turn on/off the power of the right PC with the control software installed on the left PC.

vPro is not a "function that can simply turn the power on and off", but it provides a powerful security function based on it, but it can be turned on and off remotely via the network, and remote desktop It also contributes to improving security and security, which is exactly for the remote work environment.

In this series, we will first introduce what vPro is for a wide range of people who are interested in vPro, and first verify it from a minimum of two (a PC with vPro and a PC to operate). I will show you the steps to do so.

[4 steps to turn on the power with vPro] The left is the PC to be operated, and the right is the vPro-equipped PC being operated. First, press the Connect button to connect Select "Power Up" from the "Power" section (see below for details) You can also operate with the RemoteDesktop function that the PC on the right starts up. Note that vPro can be operated even if the OS is not running.

Now, the theme this time is "remote power ON".

Technically speaking, the content is to "send a power ON command to a vPro-equipped PC in a power OFF state". Wake On LAN can also "power on", but vPro has a lot of security considerations, and has the advantage of being integrated with other security and management functions. "Power on Wake On LAN" is the goal, but "Power on vPro" is just the beginning of various functions.

As I mentioned earlier, powering on vPro is so easy as long as you complete the settings.

This time, we tried it on the local network, and the response was fast. I will introduce the situation in the video, so please refer to it.
