Intel vPro 2007: better remote administration, security ...

http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/08/intel_vpro_better_remote_administrationsecurity_but_theres_a_catch.php Last Friday, Intel hosted a launch event at San Francisco's Palace Hotel for the upgrade of its vPro technologies (virtualisation, security and remote administration): a platform for business desktop PCs that includes a CPU, a chipset, a firmware, and a gigabit network interface (NIC). The first iteration of vPro launched last Fall and already enabled IT administrator to remotely managed PCs, even when turned off, and install patches/bug fixes, etc. With vPro 2007, Intel added: - the Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT) that insures the integrity of virtual machine monitors e.g. VMWare, Parallels, XenSource...; - the System Defense filters that now has a firewall type of functionality (deep packet inspection, screening for malicious behaviour...) for the integrated Gigabit NIC; - a capability to allow a PC that does not have its OS active, because it's turned off, to securely come on to an IEEE 802.1x or a Cisco NAC network; - support for DASH and WS-Man management standards; - virtualisation for Directed I/O which prevents unauthorised access to the hardware. http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/08/intel_vpro_better_remote_administrationsecurity_but_theres_a_catch.php
