A major barrier to greater IT efficiency has been removed by Intel®
Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) a feature on Intel® vPro™
technology. Using built-in platform capabilities and popular
third-party management and security applications, Intel AMT allows IT
to better Discover, Heal, and Protect their networked computing assets.
Here's how: |
|
Discover: Intel
AMT stores hardware & software information in non-volatile memory.
With built-in manageability, Intel AMT allows IT to discover the
assets, even while PCs are powered off.¹ With Intel AMT, remote
consoles do not rely on local software agents, helping to avoid
accidental data loss.
Heal: Intel
AMT's built-in manageability provides out-of-band management
capabilities to allow IT to remotely heal systems after OS failures.
Alerting & event logging help IT detect problems quickly to reduce
downtime.
Protect: Intel AMT featuring
System Defense capability protects your network from threats at the
source by proactively blocking incoming threats, reactively containing
infected clients before they impact the network, and proactively
alerting IT when critical software agents are removed. Intel AMT also
helps to protect your network by making it easier to keep software and
virus protection consistent and up-to-date across the enterprise. Third
party software can store version numbers or policy data in non-volatile
memory for off-hours retrieval or updates.
How valuable are
these new built-in manageability capabilities? Based on extensive
proof-of-concept testing, Intel's own IT organization estimates annual
savings of at least $24M. Visit
