Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT)

Welcome to the Manageability Developer Community. Here you’ll find the resources to design applications with increased manageability, security, and performance using Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) and Intel® vPro™ Processor Technology.


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).
