Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is a capability embedded in Intel®-based platforms that enhances the ability of IT organizations to manage enterprise computing facilities. Intel® AMT operates independently of the platform processor and operating system.

Remote platform management applications can access Intel® AMT securely, even when the platform is turned  off, as long as the platform is connected to line power and to a network. Independent software vendors (ISVs) can build applications that take advantage of the features of Intel® AMT using the application programming interface (API).

Download the Remote Encryption Management SDK.

We are sharing a new SDK that builds on the SOL/IDER functionality to allow remote unlock of encrypted drives through AMT. It is (currently) intended to be used in conjunction with an existing solution that encrypts the hard drive. More on this in the detailed download page.

Download the Intel High-level API Technology Preview.

We are sharing the latest version of the AMT High-level APIs. This new Intel Manageability Library, or High-level API (HLA), provides an easier-to-use interface for developing applications that work with systems equipped with Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT). It is intended to be used either by itself, or in conjunction with the existing Intel® AMT Software Development Kit.

Watch the archived Webinar on the latest features of Intel® AMT.

Lance Atentio presented the latest features of Intel AMT and the Manageability Developer Community in a live Webinar. Lance will provided a quick overview of Intel AMT, and the SDK 5.1 release, then spent time talking about the new Alarm Clock feature, changes to Access Monitor, and wrapped up with the some latest community highlights . Watch the recorded session .

Online Training: Intel® Active Management Technology

We just launched an Overview training on Intel AMT and Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK). If you are a manageability/security application developer interested in taking advantage of Intel® vPro™ technology then this training will definitely help you.
