Intel® Active Management Technology

When used with third-party management and security applications, Intel Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) allows business owners and IT organizations to better discover, heal, and protect their networked computing assets.

Some of the features of Intel AMT include:

• Out-of-band (OOB) system access, to discover assets even while PCs are powered off
• Remote trouble-shooting and recovery, which allows remote diagnosis and recovery of systems after OS failures
• Hardware-based agent presence checking that automatically detects and alerts when critical software agents have been stopped or are missing
• Proactive network defense, which uses filters to block incoming threats while isolating infected clients before they impact the network
• Remote hardware and software asset tracking, helping to track computer assets and keep virus protection up-to-date
• Keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) remote control, which allows redirection of a managed system’s video to a remote console which can then interact with it using the console’s own mouse and keyboard

NOTE

Intel AMT requires a network connector and an Intel AMT enabled remote management console. Setup requires additional configuration of the platform.
