Configuring Intel® Active Management Technology

Conclusion

In this article we discussed the various scenarios that are supported for configuring Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), the various mechanisms and protocols available for configuration of Intel AMT, and we outlined the various options and parameters that can be adjusted to make the tradeoffs between security, cost, and convenience. One of the aspects of Intel AMT configuration that we want to reiterate here is that Intel AMT offers a wide selection of configuration options, catering to almost every type of customer, ranging from a small home business to a Fortune 500 enterprise. At one end of the spectrum, it is possible to configure Intel AMT in a matter of minutes, and get it up and running on a test machine. At the other end of the spectrum, it is possible to configure a vast array of machines with Intel AMT in a large enterprise without even physically touching those machines once; moreover, they can be configured in such a way that the process is trusted and secure, and not vulnerable to being attacked or snooped by malware or other prying eyes.
