簡介
作為晶片組產業的龍頭老大的Intel在ICH7中引入了一項稱為“iAMT”的管理技術。
工作原理
IAMT技術的嵌入式作業系統集成在硬體中(就像BIOS一樣)，其功能由主機板上的ME(management engine)(ME物理運算能力由北橋晶片提供)來實現。釋放出來的iAMT構架規格描述該技術是處於晶片組、網路控制器和處理器之間一條特殊接口，通過該接口開啟 Intel AMT 去連線相應的管理和安全軟體，以及客戶端嵌入式監控模組。
主要功能
Intel AMT技術可以作為一個獨立於現有作業系統的子系統出現，這樣就解決了目前困擾IT 維護管理人員的一個主要問題，用戶故意或者是無意自己關閉了自己PC上的安全和管理軟體。
而且由於獨立於作業系統的設計， Intel AMT可以在作業系統本身癱瘓的時候進行系統監控和遠程管理。同時，考慮到控制接入平台進行管理和維護的時候保證被維護系統用戶用的隱私權，Intel AMT 規範同時也遵從於業界安全和隱私標準。越來越多的用戶系統要求能夠持續地運轉，而這種需求必將引導電腦和網路系統管理從被動轉為主動。傳統的管理一般是被動地掃描用戶系統，在客戶端系統遭到破壞時也往往無能為力。
英特爾主動管理技術的誕生讓電腦管理從簡單的信息查詢、現場維護為主的被動式管理走向了自動發現、診斷、排除故障和綜合性防護的主動管理之路。無論是資產盤點、遠程診斷和管理、事故報警/恢復、軟體分發還是系統安全防護與隔離，很多功能都是自動形成並發揮作用。
這項技術可以不依賴軟硬體的實時狀態而獨立進行開機、維護、關機等操作，即使在一個當機、關機或藍屏甚至是已經關閉的系統上仍然可以工作，當然，進入BIOS進行操作也是不在話下。
iAMT技術主要解決的問題是對那些遠離IT管理維護人員的系統進行遠程的修復和維護。藉助於 iAMT 系統管理員可以遠程安裝設定作業系統，下載升級軟體，甚至在遠端系統關閉，作業系統癱瘓或者硬碟出現故障時仍舊完成故障調查以及修復工作。這樣可以為企業節省大量的用於管理維護計算機系統的支出和時間。
補充
Intel AMT能夠自動執行一個獨立於作業系統的子系統，正是由於有了獨立於作業系統的環境，使得在作業系統出現故障的時候，管理員能夠在遠程監視和管理客戶端。通過這項原本專屬於伺服器套用領域的技術，未來的個人電腦將可以在作業系統損毀或系統出現故障的時候進行遠程管理和檢測系統，或是系統發生錯誤時主動發出警告信息，進行軟硬體檢查、遠端更新BIOS、病毒碼及作業系統，甚至在系統關機的時候，也可以通過網路進行管理工作，對企業用戶而言，可大幅降低管理成本。
英特爾打算通過這種方式導入iAMT遠端管理技術，吸引企業用戶對計算機進行升級。
通過開放的標準編程接口，第三方廠商可以利用iAMT提供的遠程操縱平台，編寫各種為客戶服務的程式。Intel聲稱，目前已經有多家軟體公司開始開發支持 Intel AMT技術的管理和安全軟體產品。
