VT and VT-d
Increasing manageability, security, and flexibility in IT environments, virtualization technologies like hardware-assisted Intel
®
Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
VT) combined with software-based virtualization solutions provide maximum system
utilization by consolidating multiple environments into a single server or PC. By abstracting the software away from the
underlying hardware, a world of new usage models opens up that reduce costs, increase management efficiency, strengthen
security, while making your computing infrastructure more resilient in the event of a disaster.

VT-d supports the remapping of I/O DMA transfers and device-generated interrupts. The architecture of VT-d provides the
flexibility to support multiple usage models that may run un-modified, special-purpose, or "virtualization aware" guest OSs. The
VT-d hardware capabilities for I/O virtualization complement the existing Intel
®
VT capability to virtualize processor and
memory resources. Together, this roadmap of VT technologies offers a complete solution to provide full hardware support for
the virtualization of Intel
®
platforms.

Fast Boot
Fast Boot supported by Aptio provides faster boot time by learning the system configuration on the first boot. On the Next boot
system boots faster because the bios will only use the best boot path from the first OS boot. It configures only devices needed
for the OS to boot. It adapts when system changes.
Note: Enabling Fast Boot makes only sense with Windows 8 and above. The speedup is minimal and only recommended if complete
system configuration is tested with Fast Boot enabled.
