Active Management Technology (Intel
®
AMT)
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.
