ROUND ROCK, -- Dell launched this week the OptiPlex 755, an energy efficient commercial desktop that has earned a gold rating through the Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool.

The company calls the product a flexible approach to systems management because it can help simplify IT by cutting the number of desk service visits needed for service and maintenance.

Starting at $632, the desktop enable users to manage systems that are powered down or have no operating system, which slashes time used for patch deployment by as much as 94 percent. Time used for desk-side visits is reduced by as much as 56 percent, the company said.

Intel vPro technology with advanced remote management features is integrated to help drive business efficiency.

"Our commitment to customers is to eliminate complexity throughout the lifecycle of their IT assets," said Darrel Ward, director of Dell Product Group, in a statement. "We designed the OptiPlex 755 to be the most flexible and versatile business desktop available to date with innovations in systems management, eco-design and services."

The product offers a flexible upgrade path from ASF to vPro within the same platform and Dell Client Manager (DCM) Standard, a free management console available during the life of its deployment.

The OptiPlex 755 also complies with Energy Star 4.0. It, along with other Dell products, are available with Energy Smart power settings that can reduce energy costs by as much as 78 percent.

In October, the company will extend the advanced systems management features to notebooks, with the first being the Latitude D630c based on Intel Centrino Pro technology.

Previous OptiPlex models include the 745, which consume 70 percent less energy than previous models when configured with Intel Core 2 Duo processors and flat panel displays.
