Intel will release its "LaGrande" security technology in the second half of the year with the launch of its second-generation VPro business desktop technology.
The first generation of VPro-branded PCs--computers designed to be easy to manage and less susceptible to network attacks--went on sale in 2006. VPro, along with Centrino for mobile PCs and Viiv for home entertainment PCs, is a "platform" brand Intel uses to cover product bundles including processors, chipsets and network technology.
Not all PCs businesses buy are VPro models, but most corporate pilot projects lead to more widespread use, said Mike Ferron-Jones, director of Intel's digital office platform marketing. "We're positioning VPro as a step above your ordinary business PC," he said.
