Intel vPro technology is an umbrella marketing term used by Intel for a large collection of computer hardware technologies, including Hyperthreading, Turbo Boost 2.0, VT-x, Trusted Execution Technology, and Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). When the vPro brand was launched (circa 2007), it was identified primarily with AMT,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/command-conquer,1591.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/vpro.ars/1 )〕 thus some journalists still consider AMT to be the essence of vPro.〔(Intel vPro: Three Generations Of Remote Management )〕 ==vPro features== Intel vPro is a brand name for a set of PC hardware features. PCs that support vPro have a vPro-enabled processor, a vPro-enabled chipset, and a vPro-enabled BIOS as their main elements.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/vpro.ars/1 )〕〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crn.com/white-box/201802550 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crn.com/hardware/209100230?queryText=vPro )〕 A vPro PC includes: * Multi-core, multi-threaded Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon 〔(Intel vPro Developer Portal )〕 * Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT), a set of hardware-based features targeted at businesses. / allow remote access to the PC for management and security tasks, when an OS is down or PC power is off.〔 Note that AMT is not the same as Intel vPro; AMT is only one element of a vPro PC. * Remote configuration technology for AMT, with certificate-based security. Remote configuration can be performed on "bare-bones" systems, before the OS and/or software management agents are installed.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/articles/eng/1477.htm )〕 * Wired and wireless (laptop) network connection.〔 * Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT),〔 which verifies a launch environment and establishes the root of trust, which in turn allows software to build a chain of trust for virtualized environments. Intel TXT also protects secrets during power transitions for both orderly and disorderly shutdowns (a traditionally vulnerable period for security credentials). * Support for IEEE 802.1x, Cisco Self Defending Network (SDN), and Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) in laptops, and support for 802.1x and Cisco SDN in desktop PCs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/isn/Community/en-US/forums/thread/30235057.aspx )〕 Support for these security technologies allows Intel vPro to store the security posture of a PC so that the network can authenticate the system before the OS and applications load, and before the PC is allowed access to the network.〔 * Intel Virtualization Technology, including Intel VT for memory, CPU, and Directed I/O, to support virtualized environments. Intel VT is hardware-based technology, not software-based virtualization. Intel VT lets you run multiple OSs (traditional virtualization) on the same PC or run a specialized or critical application in a separate space—a virtual PC on the physical system—in order to help protect the application or privacy of sensitive information.〔 * Execute disable bit that, when supported by the OS, can help prevent some types of buffer overflow attacks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.intel.com/technology/xdbit/?iid=SEARCH )〕 * Support for Microsoft Windows Vista, including Microsoft Windows Vista BitLocker with a Trusted Platform Module version 1.2 and Intel graphics support for Windows Vista Aero graphical user interface.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.intel.com/intel/windowsvista/business.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intel vPro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
