Active Management Technology (Intel

with System Defense Feature

Intel Active Management Technology offers IT organizations tamper-resistant and

persistent management capabilities. Specifically, Intel AMT is a hardware-based

solution that uses out of band communication to manage access client systems in

addition to offering encrypted and persistent asset management and remote

diagnostics and/or recovery capabilities for networked platforms. With Intel AMT, IT

organizations can easily get accurate platform information, and can perform remote

updating, diagnostics, debugging and repair of a system, regardless of the state of the

operating system and the power state of the system.

NOTE

Intel AMT enabled enterprise management software is required to take advantage of

Intel AMT platform management capabilities.

The key features of Intel AMT include:

•

Secure Out of Band (OOB) system management that allows remote management

of PCs regardless of system power or operating system state.

•

Remote troubleshooting and recovery that can significantly reduce desk-side visits

and potentially increasing efficiency of IT technical staff.

•

Proactive alerting that decreases downtime and minimizes time to repair.

•

Third party non-volatile storage that prevents users from removing critical

inventory, remote control, or virus protection agents.

•

Remote hardware and software asset tracking that eliminates time-consuming

manual inventory tracking, which also reduces asset accounting costs.

•

System Defense Feature - an Intel AMT feature for stopping the propagation of

worms and viruses through the use of programmable packet filters in the

integrated LAN controller. The packet filters inspect all incoming and all outgoing

packets and determine whether to block or pass the packets as configured. There

is no indication to the host that a packet has been blocked or accepted.
