7 Advanced Technologies
7.1 Intel vPRO technology
Intel vPRO technology is supported on IPC2 i5 and i7 models only.
An added layer of security for businesses and intelligent systems today’s businesses and
intelligent systems developers face four critical areas of IT security:
 Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware
 Identity and website access point protection
 Confidential personal and business data protection
 Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations
Intel® vPro™ technology addresses each of these and other needs through its comprehensive set
of security, manageability, and productivity-enhancing capabilities. This technology is built into
the new Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family, Intel® chipsets, and network adapters that simplify
and accelerate these four critical IT functions.
7.2 Intel Active Management Technology
Intel AMT is a fundamental component of Intel® vPro™ technology. AMT is a set of advanced
manageability features developed to meet the evolving demands placed on IT to manage a
network infrastructure. Intel AMT reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for IT management
through features such as asset tracking, remote manageability, and robust policy based security,
resulting in fewer desk-side visits and reduced incident support durations. Intel AMT extends the
manageability capability for IT through Out Of Band (OOB), allowing asset information, remote
diagnostics, recovery, and contain capabilities to be available on client systems even when they
are in a low power, or “off” state, or in situations when the operating system is hung.
Intel AMT9.5 technology supported on selected platforms with the following components only
and with relevant BIOS support: IPC2 i5 and i7 models, Intel GbE MAC/PHY (LAN1).
7.3 Intel Virtualization Technology
Increasing manageability, security, and flexibility in IT environments, virtualization technologies
like hardware-assisted Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) combined with software-based
virtualization solutions provide maximum system utilization by consolidating multiple
environments into a single server or PC. By abstracting the software away from the underlying
hardware, a world of new usage models opens up that reduce costs, increase management
efficiency, strengthen security, while making your computing infrastructure more resilient in the
event of a disaster.
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) makes a single system appear as multiple independent
systems to software. This allows multiple, independent operating systems to run simultaneously
on a single system. Intel VT comprises technology components to support virtualization of
platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and chipsets. Intel Virtualization
Technology for IA-32, Intel64 and Intel Architecture (Intel® VT-x) added hardware support in the
processor to improve the virtualization performance and robustness. Intel Virtualization
