integrated network connection
Available with selected processors,
those part of Intel's Stable Intel
Platform Program (SIPP)
screen, periodic connections, or alert triggered connection
Audit Logs – policy based log of AMT actions to deter rogue administrator actions
Microsoft NAP Support – allows AMT to gain access to a Microsoft NAP enabled 802.1x
network OOB to enable OOB SW updates, inventories, remote diagnostics, etc.
Remote Scheduled Maintenance – Pre-schedule when the PC connects to the IT or
service provider console for maintenance
Remote Alerts – automatically alert IT or service provider if issues arise
Access Monitor – Provides oversight to support security requirements
DASH 1.1 support (Desktop and Mobile
Architecture for System Hardware)
A standards initiative for representing out-of-band management capability for computer
systems. It is a secure, web-services based successor to ASF.
ASF 2.0 support (Alert Standard Format)
Industry-standard specification for network alerting in operating system-absent
environments
TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) and VT-
d (Virtualized devices)
TXT allows for secure management (via TPM) and measured launch of VMM, as
well as teardown of secrets in unexpected reset case. TXT support provided in
select Intel processors.
VT-d is a chipset technology that virtualizes directed I/O
Together, TXT and VT-d may be used to support verified launch of a known trusted VMM
that also may protect VMs from accessing each other's memory.
Computrace
Computrace agent support standard
Tower
Product can be oriented as a tower (in addition to desktop orientation)
Drive Lock
Implementation of the industry standard ATA Security feature set. When enabled, it
prevents software access to user data on the drive until one or two user-defined
passwords are provided.
Drive Protection System
DPS Access through F10 Setup during Boot
A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components and every
sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports any faults to the user.
Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through a
Windows-based diagnostics utility or through the computer's setup procedure. It
produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source of the problem
and needs to be replaced.
The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology
(SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to certain types
of failures.
SMART Technology (Self-Monitoring,
Analysis and Reporting Technology)
SMART I – Drive Failure Prediction
SMART II – Off-Line Data Collection
SMART III – Off-Line Read Scanning with
Defect Reallocation
SMART IV – End-to-End CRC for hard
Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures
were predicted
Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication
parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry
count
By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance"
against unplanned user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure
IOEDC: I/O Error Detection Circuitry
Detects errors in Read/Write buffers on HDD cache RAM
