Server Platform Services (SPS) is a set of manageability services provided by the
firmware executing on an embedded ARC controller within the IOH. This management
controller is also commonly referred to as the Management Engine (ME). The functionality
provided by the SPS firmware is different from Intel

AMT or AT) provided by the ME on client platforms.
Server Platform Services (SPS) are value-added platform management options that enhance
the value of Intel platforms and their component ingredients (CPUs, chipsets, and I/O
components). Each service is designed to function independently wherever possible, or
