A major barrier to greater IT efficiency has been removed. Now, corporate IT departments can remotely discover, heal and protect their networked computing assets using new platform capabilities and popular third-party management & security applications. Here's how:
Discover: Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) stores hardware & software information in non-volatile memory and allows IT to discover the assets, even while PCs are powered off**. With Intel® AMT, remote consoles do not rely on local software agents, helping to avoid accidental data loss.
Heal: Intel AMT provides out-of-band management capabilities to allow IT to remotely heal systems after OS failures. Alerting & event logging help IT detect problems quickly to reduce downtime.
Protect: Intel AMT helps to protect your network by making it easier to keep software and virus protection consistent and up-to-date across the enterprise. Third party software can store version numbers or policy data in non-volatile memory for off-hours retrieval or updates.
How valuable are these new capabilities? Based on extensive proof-of-concept testing, Intel’s own IT organization estimates annual savings of at least $24M. Read Reducing Costs with Intel® Active Management Technology for a detailed explanation of Intel’s usage models and potential savings.
