Chapter 1. Introduction to Intel vPro and Intel AMT

Intel vPro is a business computer platform that provides business computers with

enhanced remote management capabilities. For computers built with Intel vPro, IT

administrators can use a third party software to remotely collect inventory

information, diagnose problems, and provide various services regardless of the

computer power state or the operating system state. IT administrators can also

isolate and protect individual computers and the network from threats.

As a feature of Intel vPro, Intel AMT is designed to provide remote management

of computers regardless of the computer power state or the operating system state

as long as the computers are connected to an electrical outlet and a network.
