Most Intel vPro® platform features, like PC performance and hardware-enhanced security features, work and deliver value right out of the box. But if you want to take full advantage of it, deploying the free Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA) enables full remote manageability functionality.
The Intel vPro platform integrates a suite of transformative technologies that have received extra tuning and testing for demanding business workloads. Rigorous validation by Intel and industry leaders helps ensure that every device built on the Intel vPro platform sets the standard for business. With each component and technology designed for professional grade, IT can be confident in one validated solution that brings together business-class performance, hardware-enhanced security, modern remote manageability, and PC fleet stability.
But how do you know if you’re getting all the benefits of the Intel vPro platform? What actions do you need to take to enable and activate all the features of the platform that you want? In some cases, there is nothing you need to do beyond choosing the right versions of products from device manufacturers and ISVs who have already built the benefits of the Intel vPro platform into their solutions. In other cases, such as with remote device-management functionality, you can extract much more value from the platform by enabling or activating technologies that are part of the Intel vPro platform.
This guide provides an overview of your options and a roadmap for how to get started using Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel EMA) to take advantage of Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT).
