Find out what the Intel team has to say about Intel® Active Management Technology and designing applications with increased manageability, security, and performance.
This book is a must read for everyone in the IT arena (developers, IT professionals, etc.) because it’s not only a deep guide to Intel® AMT technology, it’s also a very useful review of state-of-the-art manageability standards. If you have discussed or read about WS-Man, WBEM, CIM, DASH, SMASH and other technology acronyms and you [...]
I’ll start by telling I wish this tool had been available some time ago because I would have saved a lot of trial and error working time. All of you who have taken Intel AMT into enterprise environments have faced the challenge of delivering SCS as quickly and easily as possible. Many times this is [...]
Our community has snagged some new high-quality stuff lately starting with Shmuel Gershon's dynamically entitled blog: "Intel KVM: This is your SOL on Steroids". Shmuel is pretty knowledgeable about this new Intel® AMT™ feature, to be available on some 2010 platforms, and a big fan as well. I think we'll be hearing more from him [...]
Hello out there! I just wanted to let our Community know that we have refreshed some of our WSMan documentation on our Manageability Community! Did you know that WSMan will soon replace the legacy SOAP interface in the Intel® AMT SDK? This means that new features are no longer offered along with SOAP APIs and soon, [...]
Intel AMT lets you connect to your managed computer remotely. SOL lets you connect to its COM port and control selected input/output. Nothing new there, right? In the last IDF, Intel pulled back the curtain on a revolutionary feature: Intel KVM. KVM stands for "Keyboard, Video and Mouse", and it lets you control the, er, keyboard [...]
Has a month gone by already? I thought it was time for another blog. I’m checking in to let you know what’s new and to tell you about some changes that are in progress for our Manageability Community. First, what’s new since I became your community manager? The Remote Encryption Management SDK was released [...]
Lately I've been playing with the Intel® SCS 6.0 Liteutility to provision my system. Last week I tried it out using a provisioning certificate (Remote Provisioning.) I thought it might be useful to post the steps that are needed in order to set up the network and certs. In my environment, I run the SCS Service [...]
Intel released its 5.0 firmware prior to the publication of the final DASH 1.0 specification. After reviewing the final version of the DASH 1.0 spec, we adjusted our firmware to be wholly compliant to the specification. We published the compliant version as AMT5.1. There are minor differences between DASH API calls in AMT 5.0 and AMT [...]
So, there's a new SDK available on the ISN Manageability site, and it frankly needs some explanation. Plus just some description on what Remote Encryption Management is, since it hasn’t been discussed previously. To sum up in a sentence, Remote Encryption Management supports the ability to unlock an encrypted hard drive through vPro. This [...]
Everybody is playing IT Manager 3: Unseen Forces now :) Ok, not everybody, but there are many tens of thousands of players, competition is high, and a lot of changes were seen in the LeaderBoard. We have talked about this IT game in previous posts (here and here), but much of the renewed interest on the game comes [...]
After recently acquiring a netbook, I was intrigued by the "rush" to upgrade to Windows 7... I'm always crazy for the sleek interface upgrade and any new application interactions. I will admit to being more than a little intimidated by the copy-to-USB-drive-and-reinstall-every-three-days running procedures. However, I am looking forward to upgrading shortly. [...]
Yesterday I went to the blogging area of IDF and our Intel media professionals edited a really nice clip to promote the book "Active Platform Management Demystified". Check it out on YouTube! Ylian
I made it to the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) and I brought with me a big pile of books "Active Platform Management Demystified" with me. In fact, I have over a ton of books! My Intel blogger friends are also at the show and making videos, here is my shot at a little video. Watch the [...]
For the last few months I have been working on new prototype software for making computer management easier. Basicaly, it's a peer-to-peer mesh agent where computers monitor each other without the need for a central management server. The prototype code is now avaialble online for download at: http://mesh.homeip.net It's very basic right now. The mesh networking [...]
Hi everyone. I just want to write a quick note to mention that I will be attending the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) next week. This year again, I have the real privilege to be a speaker. First, I will be co-speaker at the PROS004 session, and will have my very own lab PROL001. In both the [...]
