New Features
Intel® Small Business Advantage is a combination of six specific applications:
|
|
Data Backup and Restore
Data Backup and Restore uses the hardware-based functionality of Intel SBA to wake up the computer if it is turned off.
Configurations options allow you to automatically wake up the PC and launch the Microsoft Backup and Restore application. Backup and Restore sessions can be scheduled to run outside of the regular business hours to minimize inconvenience and impact on employee productivity. This feature will ensure that company data is backed up and secured regularly. |
| |
|
| |
|
Energy Saver
The Energy Saver application allows the user quickly and easily set a power schedule for the computer, allowing the computer to enter sleep mode at the end of business hours, thus saving energy costs.
In addition, the computer can be powered up just before the beginning of business hours, thus improving productivity. After configuration, the computer will continue to power up and power down at the scheduled times with no user intervention necessary. |
| |
|
PC Health Center
The PC Health Center application lets Small Business owners quickly and easily schedule all maintenance tasks, including Windows updates, Disk defragmentation, Deletion of temporary Internet files and other Temporary application files that can take up hard drive space.
These tasks can be scheduled to happen at any convenient time, even after the computer is turned off. The PC Health Center application will wake up the compute and run the scheduled tasks, simplifying PC maintenance. |
| |
|
| |
|
Software Monitor
The Software Monitor application detects and monitors security-related applications that are installed on the computer; these include Microsoft Security Essentials, Norton 360, Kingsoft Antivirus Software, Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security, McAfee Total Protection, Kaspersky Internet Security. If a monitored security application is disabled or attacked for any reason, Software Monitor sends an alert to tell the user that something has occurred. The user can also define which applications to monitor and how they want to be notified. |
| |
|
| |
|
USB Blocker
Computers in a small business need protection from possible security threats caused by the increased use of USB ports and USB devices. The USB Blocker application allows you to quickly and easily define which USB devices can connect to the computer. Different categories of USB device can be identified (e.g. portable storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smart phones etc), with specific rule configuration options available. |
| |
 |
Intel WIRELESS DISPLAY*
This application lets users stream content (presentations, videos, websites, etc.) from their computer over a wireless connection to a large screen display. This application is only shown if the Intel® WiDi Widget for Windows 7 is installed on the computer.
* GIGABYTE B85 motherboards can support Intel® Wireless display only when combined with an appropriate Intel Wi-Fi module. |
