Intel® Active Management Technology Supports Remote Monitoringand Administration of adbo UnitsAlthough adbo units are installed throughout Japan, tasks such astheir monitoring and administration are all handled centrally at acontrol center. The systems at the control center include a contentmanagement and distribution system, log collection and processingsystem, adbo unit monitoring system, and additional informationdistribution system. The adbo units can connect to the Internetusing mechanisms such as WiMAX* or 3G data communications tomaintain ongoing communications with these back-end systems.This all-encompassing system allows V-Sync to provide a one-stopservice covering everything from ad production to distribution andadministration. 3D content in particular can be produced efficientlyin partnership with VMJ technical staff using VMJ's own z.l.i.c.eproduction application and other tools.The adbo system was one of the first embedded systems productsto adopt Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), whichis used to ensure the reliable performance of monitoring andadministration from the control center. Intel® AMT is an advancedtechnology for operation and management that can perform certainoperations independent of whether the OS is running, includingturning the power on and off, providing console access, or accessingthe hard disk drive (HDD). Whereas previous units without Intel®AMT required maintenance staff to visit the sites where units wereinstalled, Intel® AMT allows faults to be responded to remotely fromthe control center. This has made it possible for the adbo units toachieve availability levels of 99% or better and has provided amajor boost to the service level of this advertising medium. It alsoreduces administration costs and reduces the maintenance portionof the solution's total cost to among the lowest in the signageindustry.Intel Supports Ongoing Evolution of Digital Signage SolutionsDigital signage solutions that support 3D technology will continue toevolve in the future. For example, the technology is expected todevelop in the direction of fitting future units with veryhigh-resolution LCD panels featuring higher numbers of viewpointsto produce 3D images that are more attractive and easier to view.The dramatic increase in processing power needed to display 3Dvideo will create demand for microprocessors with even betterperformance. Intel® architecture is continually evolving through theapplication of advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologyand will go on comprehensively meeting the severe requirements ofthese next-generation systems.Intel, the Intel logo, Intel Core, and Core Inside are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U.S. and other countries.*Microsoft, Windows, and the Windows logo are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies.
