Les fonctions semblent intéressantes dans le cadre de la gestion d’un parc informatique, mais limitée dans mon cas. Je garde tout de même en mémoire les fonctionnalités apportées par cette technologie :
Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is a hardware-based technology that facilitates remote out-of-band management of computers by use of a small secondary processor located on the motherboard.
Intel AMT systems include a built-in web server located on port 16992 (or port 16993 if HTTPS is used). The web server displays a management web page that can be accessed from a remote system (not from the AMT system itself). A remote user can browse to the web page to perform a subset of the full AMT list of operations: view information about the AMT system and perform power control functions on it (for example, power it up or down). The web server can be accessed even if the system is powered down or has crashed. The web server is generally disabled by corporate IT.
Other features
Power up, power down, power cycle, and reset the computer.
Redirect the remote computer’s boot process, causing it to boot from a network boot image. This allows booting a computer that has a corrupted (or missing) operating system.
Redirect the system’s I/O during the boot process, allowing the administrator to view and intervene in the boot process.
Access and change BIOS settings remotely.
Verify that essential software is running on the remote system (for example, anti-virus agents).
Rebuild a corrupted hard drive either over the network or from a local image.
Obtain the remote computer’s hardware asset list (platform, baseboard, BIOS, processor, memory, disks, portable batteries, field replaceable units).
