Intel vPro

Intel vPro is a set of hardware and software technologies designed to enhance the security, manageability, and performance of business computers. vPro is available on certain Intel processors and chipsets, and is often found in enterprise-class desktops, laptops, and workstations.

vPro includes several key technologies, including Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), which provides remote management and security capabilities even when the computer's operating system is not running. This allows IT administrators to perform tasks such as remote diagnosis and repair, software updates, and system maintenance without the need for physical access to the computer.

Other vPro technologies include Intel Virtualization Technology (VT), which improves performance and security in virtualized environments; Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), which provides hardware-based security for trusted computing; and Intel Identity Protection Technology (IPT), which provides multi-factor authentication for added security.

vPro also includes hardware-based security features such as Intel Hardware Shield, which helps protect against firmware attacks, and Intel BIOS Guard, which provides hardware-assisted BIOS protection.

Overall, vPro is designed to provide a comprehensive set of hardware and software technologies for business computers, with a focus on security, manageability, and performance.
