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® Rapid Storage Technology Intel® Rapid Storage Technology provides protection performance & expandability for desktop & mobile platforms. Whether using one or multiple hard drives users can take advantage of enhanced performance & lower power consumption. When using more than one drive the user can have additional protection against data loss in the event of hard drive failure. Successor to Intel® Matrix Storage Technology. 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. Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) is a platform functionality for credential storage & key management used by Windows 8* & Windows® 10. Intel® PTT supports Bit Locker* for hard drive encryption & supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform Module (f TPM) 2.0. .
