With Intelligent Manageability, Compaq responds to customers’ need for easy-to-manage
computers in stand-alone and networked environments. Compaq addresses this need by focusing
on five primary customer concerns:
• Asset Management—provides the user with detailed configuration information about the
computer and allows the system administrator to inventory and track computers 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 computer
components.
• Integration Management—uses industry-standard technologies while partnering with
industry leading computer management software vendors.
• Configuration Management—provides the latest drivers, utilities, and support software to
optimize computer 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 computers intelligently. This management tool is designed for
computers 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, ensuring
tight integration and compatibility with leading computer management software vendors.
• Total Cost of Ownership—Protecting the investment by increasing its value over the life of
the product reduces the total cost of owning one or more computers.
• Product Parity—Currently, all commercial portable and desktop computers include virtually
the same Intelligent Manageability functionality across all platforms.

Manageability for Portables white paper.
