Scalability White Papers

Can the new Intel Stable Image Platform Program help make the most of IT resources?

Overview This paper describes that when one is managing a fleet of desktop and notebook PCs, reducing variability in the client PC environment is critical to streamlining IT processes, controlling total cost of ownership, and delivering the full business value of client PC purchases. Accordingly, industry best practices call for standardizing on a limited number of hardware configurations and software images. Qualify those configurations with a standardized image and deploy them into your client PC base, and the benefits are numerous: new systems can be added more quickly, IT processes made more efficient, problems resolved faster, training requirements reduced, and much more.
