Intel

Virtualization Technology (Intel

VT)

Intel VT is a processor technology that enables a platform to run multiple operating

systems and applications as independent machines, allowing one computer system to

function as multiple "virtual" systems. It also provides the “assisted hardware

virtualization” required by some operating systems for backward compatibility, such as

Windows XP Mode for Microsoft Windows 7.

NOTE

Intel VT requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT.

Intel

Trusted Execution Technology (Intel

TXT)

Intel

TXT helps protect the platform against software-based attacks and preserves the

confidentiality and integrity of the data created and stored on the system. It

accomplishes this by using a measured launch and leveraging Intel VT to produce a

protected environment for the execution of sensitive applications.

NOTE

Intel TXT requires an Intel processor that supports Intel TXT.

Intel

Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel

VT-d)

Intel VT-d compliments Intel VT by providing the ability to isolate and restrict

device accesses to the resources owned by the virtual partition managing the

device.

NOTE

Intel VT-d requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT.

RPAT) and Fast Call for Help

Intel RPAT provides a means for on-demand, reactive maintenance for small and

to the RPAT header that serves the same function. To utilize Intel RPAT technology

from the desktop requires the installation of the Intel RPAT Client Agent, available for

download from the Intel World Wide Web site.

Fast Call for Help supplies remote maintenance connectivity for the Enterprise user

inside or outside the corporate firewall. Coupled with your enterprise’s Management

Presence Server, it provides both reactive and proactive maintenance. Inside the

firewall, this feature adapts Client Initiated Local Access (CILA); outside the firewall it
