Compaq pioneered desktop manageability in 1995 with the introduction
of the industry's first fully manageable desktop personal computers.
Since then, Compaq has led an industry-wide effort to develop the
standards and infrastructure required to effectively deploy, configure,
and manage desktop PCs. Compaq Intelligent Manageability provides
standards-based solutions for managing and controlling desktops in a
networked environment. Compaq works closely with leading
management software solution providers in the industry to ensure
compatibility between Intelligent Manageability and these products.
Intelligent Manageability is an important aspect of our broad
commitment to providing you with Lifecycle Solutions that assist you
during the four phases of the desktop PC lifecycle—planning,
deployment, management, and transitions.
This guide summarizes the capabilities and features of the four key
components of desktop management:
Initial Configuration and Deployment
Asset tracking and security
Fault notification and recovery
Software updating and management
The guide also contains an overview of the tools, utilities, and
information Compaq provides to help you successfully deploy
manageable desktop PCs.
Support for specific features described in this guide may vary
by model or software version.
