NEXT GENERATION ENTERPRISE NOTEBOOKS
The next generation of enterprise notebooks responds faster, work longer and smarter, and offer multiple levels of security. These notebooks also look svelte and have new features such as wireless charging and instant-ON.
There used to be a time when the laptop was a symbol of power and status.

Further, new features such as instant-on, all-day battery life, seamless connectivity, multi-factor authentication and small form factor are fast becoming a standard on the mobility platform. Features seen in consumer notebooks, such as touch-sensitive controls and multi-media capabilities are now coming to professional notebooks. There is also a stronger focus on design and security aspects. The Notebook technology trend are more robust and powerful.

Here are other significant trends that are driving the adoption of notebooks in the enterprise:

INSTANT ACCESS
As more enterprises replace desktops with notebooks, OEMs are focusing on efficiency and time-saving features. One feature that is fast catching on is instant access to e-mail, contacts, calendaring and scheduling tools-even applications. This features spares you the annoying 3-5 minutes windows boot-up routine, just to check the latest e-mail. HP, for instance, calls this features QuickLoo 2. Asu calls it Express Gate and Dell has Latitude ON, though these terms generally refer to the Linux-based operating systems (OS) embedded in secondary systems that offer instant-on functionality. To enable this functionality, notebook OEMs incorporate Splashtop technology from a company named Device VM. BIOS maker Phoenix Technologies has a similar product called Hyperspace.

Dell latitude E and latitude Z notebooks have a secondary mini motherboard and separate ARM processors. You can access e-mail, contacts, calendars and your firefox browser through a separate non Windows interface. Call it a ‘system within a system’ if you like, but it ensures that essential productivity tools are always running in the background and are in sync with the main system-so that you always have instant access to the latest information.

The press-of-a-button feature is also applicable to other functions such as switching wireless radios on/off, launching applications like the Windows calculator or Excel, loading the browser, launching presentations or for optimizing power management and other settings.

SECURITY
Due to an increasingly mobile workforce more employees carry confidential company information on laptops. This puts the organization at a greater risk because laptops can be stolen or left behind in public transport. A study conducted by the ponemon institute this year shows that the average value of a lost notebook is USD 49,246-much more than the cost of the laptop itself. This value is based on seven cost components: replacement cost, detection, forensics, data beach, lost intellectual property cost, lost productivity and legal, consulting and regulatory expenses.
Enterprise class notebooks usually have security features such as fingerprint readers and hard disk encryption through TPM (Trusted Platform Module). But now OEMs want to make these portable storage vaults more secure by introducing multiple security features and multi-factor authentication. That’s why you’ll see enhanced security features such a HID-compliant contact-less smart card reader, physical smart card reader, token authentication, poison pill technology, facial recognition and standards such as opel and FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standardization) becoming common in notebooks.

The combination of fingerprint reader, password and contact-less card makes for multifactor authentication. while this makes for strong access security, what features are available for protecting data, especially on stolen laptops?

OEMs like Dell, HP and others are using Intel Antitheft (AT) technology for notebooks. Intel AT is a hardware-based technology that can intelligently detect suspicious behavior or receive a remote theft alert. The system then responds in three ways:
• When a user reports a lost or stolen laptop incident to a service provider, it can help by sending a ‘poison pill’ to disable the laptop.
• In the event of suspicious activity such as excessive login attempts, the laptop disables itself.
• If the laptop does not log into then network within a set period of time, it disables itself.

POWER MANAGEMENT
With notebooks now being used throughout the day users feel the need for longer battery life. Both notebook and chip manufacturers have been trying to address this need. OEMs work closely with the processor manufacturers to devise their own power-saving technologies that help conserve power and extend battery life.

Acer for instance, has been pitching the 8 hours plus feature on its Aspire Timeline notebooks. The Acer ePower Management tool adjusts current power usage settings, shows remaining battery power and also allows for customized profiles for optimized battery life.

Lenovo offers the ThinkVantage Power Manager and Battery Stretch feature that enable lower power consumption and improved battery life-lenovo claims close to 10 hours of non stop computing powered by batteries.

Manufacturers are also looking at other ways to conserve power. One way is to replace components that draw a lot of power with more energy-efficient ones. For instance, LEDs are replacing CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps) for display backlighting. Hard drives will eventually be replaced by solid state Drives (SSDs) Rajesh Gupta, Director, Sales and Marketing, Intel-South Asia says, “ The biggest draw on the battery is the processor and the chipset. To extend battery life we need improvements in both battery technology and also in the chip technology.”

Both Intel and AMD have incorporated power-saving techniques in their processors that shut down unused cores and segments in the processor.

Microsoft has announced that window7 are more compatabile to netbooks. It has been optimized for new generation netbook models.
