The Intel Desktop Utilities (IDU) application is expected to ship in Q2 with next generation Intel desktop boards. Using OSA's experience in building out-of-the-box platform manageability, IDU users can now access OSA-developed management features that combine monitoring, diagnostics, management and recovery capabilities into a single interface.

IDU is a complete suite of desktop management utilities that offer hardware monitoring, testing and systems maintenance within a single interface. Integrated with other third party applications, IDU is both versatile and intuitive, resulting in a productive management experience for even the most inexperienced user.

OSA's building blocks integrated into IDU include platform health monitoring for specific components like fans, temperature sensors, power supply and hard drive. If specific sensors have crossed pre-determined settings then alerts can be generated and displayed to the user. For example, drive issues can be viewed - predicting drive stability. By determining overall system health, problems can be averted resulting in higher desktop availability, thus reducing a user's total cost of ownership.
