Intel Said To Be Throwing SaaS Blanket Across Europe

Intel is building a SaaS platform "that will soon blanket Europe"

Jan. 29, 2009 02:00 PM

Intel is building a SaaS platform "that will soon blanket Europe," according to the financial blog Seeking Alpha.

Intel reportedly confirmed that the widgetry involved its own Multi-Site Director along with managed services software from privately held Ottawa-based N-able Technologies.

Multi-Site Director lets IT consultants and resellers monitor, optimize and troubleshoot customers' PCs, laptops, servers and networks remotely.

The blog says Intel is asking a flat monthly for privilege and that it's bound to drive demand for its vPro hardware (the stuff that supports remote management).

It's supposed to be starting in Germany and the UK, where N-enable coincidently has offices, and will drive the scheme across Europe by late this year or next.
