Intel® Small Business Advantage (Intel® SBA) is a new computing platform, consisting of hardware, software, and firmware for small businesses without a managed network. Once configured, the technology will continually monitors your security and alarms you if it's been compromised viruses or malware. It will also automatically back-up your company's data and manager routine maintenance tasks.

Intel SBA also includes five main applications :

Software Monitor
Software Monitor helps keep critical security software running by monitoring it at the hardware level and alerting the business if there has been an attack. The Software Monitor also maintains an event log that shows status information and any errors generated, so businesses can know what happened.

Data Backup and Restore
Data Backup and Restore provides reliable after-hours backup of critical data using the local maintenance timer to power on the computer. Data can be backed up to a designated location.

USB Blocker
The optional USB Blocker lets businesses control access to their infrastructure, preventing unauthorized USB devices or file imports or exports on company computers.

PC Health Center
PC Health Center can schedule and do PC maintenance tasks after hours, without interrupting employee work time. Tasks such as updating the operating system, deleting temporary internet files, and running disk defragmentation can be done at night. PC Health Center works even if the computer is powered-down, as long as it is plugged in.

Energy Saver
With the optional Energy Saver, businesses can save energy by scheduling PCs to power-down at the end of the day and turn on before the work day begins - ready for employees as they arrive in the morning.
