User Manual

• Proactive network defense, which uses filters to block incoming threats while isolating

infected clients before they impact the network

• Remote hardware and software asset tracking, helping to track computer assets and keep

virus protection up-to-date

• Keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) remote control, which allows redirection of a managed

system’s video to a remote console which can then interact with it using the console’s own

mouse and keyboard

NOTE

Intel AMT requires a network connector and an Intel AMT enabled remote management console.

Setup requires additional configuration of the platform.

2.11.3 Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The TPM version 2.0 component is specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-

beyond the capabilities of today’s software by providing a protected space for key operations and

other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and software, the TPM protects encryption and

signature keys at their most vulnerable stages—operations when the keys are being used

unencrypted in plain-text form. The TPM shields unencrypted keys and platform authentication

information from software-based attacks.

2.12 Intel® Virtualization Technology

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT-x) is a hardware-assisted technology that, when

combined with software-based virtualization solutions, provides maximum system utilization by

consolidating multiple environments into a single server or client.

NOTE

A processor with Intel VT does not guarantee that virtualization will work on your system. Intel VT

requires a computer system with a chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system,

device drivers, and applications designed for this feature.
