The Intel vPro technology is a business computer platform brand, enabling
business computers with enhanced remote management capabilities. For computers
built with Intel vPro technology, IT administrators can use a third party software
to remotely collect inventory information, diagnose problems, and provide various
services regardless of the system power state or operating system condition.
Administrators can also isolate and protect individual computers and the network
from threats quickly.
The Intel AMT is part of the Intel Management Engine (ME), which is built into
computers with Intel vPro technology. It is designed to provide remote
management even to computers that are turned off or have an inoperable
operating system as long as the system is connected to a power source and a
network.
