Chapter 1. Introduction to Intel vPro and Intel AMT Intel vPro is a business computer platform that provides business computers with enhanced remote management capabilities. For computers built with Intel vPro, IT administrators can use a third party software to remotely collect inventory information, diagnose problems, and provide various services regardless of the computer power state or the operating system state. IT administrators can also isolate and protect individual computers and the network from threats. As a feature of Intel vPro, Intel AMT is designed to provide remote management of computers regardless of the computer power state or the operating system state as long as the computers are connected to an electrical outlet and a network. Intel AMT is designed as a building block and not a complete solution. This enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to incorporate Intel AMT into their client and server hardware platforms.

Chapter 1.
Introduction to Intel vPro and Intel AMT
Intel vPro is a business computer platform that provides business computers with enhanced remote
management capabilities. For computers built with Intel vPro, IT administrators can use a third party software
to remotely collect inventory information, diagnose problems, and provide various services regardless of
the computer power state or the operating system state. IT administrators can also isolate and protect
individual computers and the network from threats.
As a feature of Intel vPro, Intel AMT is designed to provide remote management of computers regardless
of the computer power state or the operating system state as long as the computers are connected to an
electrical outlet and a network.
Intel AMT is designed as a building block and not a complete solution. This enables Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) to incorporate Intel AMT into their client and server hardware platforms. Competent
and authorized third party applications provide management and security services that take advantage of
the Intel AMT features, such as out-of-band access to asset information, event logs, hardware and software
tables, and embedded capabilities.
