Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)N/AIntel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) continues from the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end users improve security and reliability of the systems and also improve performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.N/AN/AIntel vPro Platform EligibilityN/AThe Intel vPro platform is a set of hardware and technologies used to build business computing endpoints with premium performance built-in security modern manageability and platform stability.N/AN/AIntel ME Firmware VersionN/AIntel Management Engine Firmware (Intel ME FW) uses built-in platform capabilities and management and security applications to remotely manage networked computing assets out-of-band.N/AN/ATPMN/ATrusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component on the desktop board that is specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today's software by providing a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and software the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages - operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form.N/AN/ATPM VersionN/ATPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a component that provides hardware level security upon system boot-up via stored security keys passwords encryption and hash functions.N/AN/AIntel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)N/AIntel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple virtual platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
