Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) Remote Management Technology

Models include either Intel vPro technology or standard technology. Both technologies allow:

●Better discovery, healing, and protection of networked computing assets

●PCs to be managed whether the system is on, off, or the operating system is hung

The three forms of remote manageability available on business desktops are Alert Standard Format (ASF), Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), and Desktop and mobile Architecture for Systems Hardware (DASH).

Remote management technology features include:

●Network discovery

●Hardware inventory information

●Platform health monitoring

●Power management—power on/off, cycle power

●Remote diagnosis and repair

◦Text console redirection—allows console control of remote PC during its boot phase

◦Media redirection—allows system booting from a remote boot drive, disk, or ISO image (the two variants of this are IDE-Redirect (IDE-R) on AMT platforms and USB Media Redirection)

●Hardware-based isolation and recovery—limit or cut off PC network access, if virus-like activity is detected

●Platform event tracking and auditing

●Integrated web server management portal for remote access and configuration

●Remote management technologies are integrated with HP’s management console partners

NOTE: All features above are not available on all platforms.
