Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O
Intel

Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel
®
VT-d) allows addresses in
incoming I/O device memory transactions to be remapped to different host addresses.
This provides Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) software with:
•
Improved reliability and security through device isolation using hardware assisted
remapping.
•
Improved I/O performance and availability by direct assignment of devices.

Anti-Theft Technology
Intel
®
Anti-Theft (Intel
®
AT) provides local, tamper-resistant defense that works like a
poison pill that disables the computer and access to its data even if the operating
system (OS) is reimaged, a new hard drive is installed, or the computer is
disconnected from the network.
NOTE
No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel AT
requires the computer system to have an Intel AT-enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware
release, software, and an Intel AT-capable Service Provider/ISV application and service
subscription. The detection (triggers), response (actions), and recovery mechanisms
only work after the Intel AT functionality has been activated and configured. Certain
functionality may not be offered by some ISVs or service providers and may not be
available in all countries. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or
systems or any other damages resulting thereof.
