Chapter 1. Introduction to Intel vPro and Intel AMT technology The Intel vPro™ technology is a business computer platform brand, enabling business computers with enhanced remote management capabilities. For computers built with Intel vPro technology, IT administrators can use a third party software to remotely collect inventory information, diagnose problems, and provide various services regardless of the system power state or operating system condition. Administrators can also isolate and protect individual computers and the network from threats quickly. The Intel AMT is part of the Intel Management Engine (ME), which is built into computers with Intel vPro technology. It is designed to provide remote management even to computers that are turned off or have an inoperable operating system as long as the system is connected to a power source and a network.
