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