In the middle of the August Intel company announced Remote Wake-Up technology which allows PCs to work as a remote system of data storage. According the new technology users will be able to turn out sleeping mode and get access to any data on their hard drives remotely just knowing their IP addresses. All you need is to type the URL in Web browser. But your computer must be constantly connected to broadband data transmission network and you are to install not only Wake-up technology but also guard authorizing system.

For the first time this technology was mentioned by Intel in February 2008 at a conference for investors in Santa-Clara (USA). Computer with Remote Wake-up equipped VoIP-client (unfortunately the technology supports only Jajah service and don’t work with Skype) or connected to the phone line can turn out sleeping mode in order to take a call and re-direct it to answering machine. The point is that the Intel technology will wake up computers during calls. Moreover microphone and loudspeakers will be activated for the user to react to a call. All in all this new technology will help to transform home PC into many-sided communicational center. By the way computer will wake-up only in case of a call from known subscriber that’s why using technology by prunkers is out of the question. The technology needs special software stored not on the hard drive but on the special memory block on motherboard. The motherboards supporting Remote Wake Up technology came into the market at the beginning of September.
