[Intel vPro Review: Part 2] Turn on your PC remotely! ...... Successful

I want to turn on the power of the PC by remote control!

Many people may feel that "I want to turn on the power of a PC located far away" in the telework that has become widespread these days.

If the PC is turned on, you can operate it using remote desktop software, but if the power is off, you cannot operate it unless you go to the location of the PC. If you change the BIOS settings or have trouble during the reboot, you still need to go "on the spot".

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

vPro is not just a "function that can turn on / off the power", but it provides a powerful security function based on it, but it can be turned on / off remotely via the network, and it can be used for remote desktops and security. It also contributes to improvement, which is exactly for remote work environments.

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

You can "power on" with Wake On LAN, but vPro has a lot of security considerations and has the advantage of being integrated with other security and management functions. "Powering on Wake On LAN" is the goal, but "powering on vPro" is just the entrance to various functions.

As I said earlier, turning on your vPro is as easy as setting it up.

This time, I tried it on the local network, and the response is fast. The situation will be introduced in the video, so please refer to it.
