1.10.5.2 Intel
®
Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
VT)
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) is a processor technology that enables a
platform to run multiple operating systems and applications as independent machines,
allowing one computer system to function as multiple "virtual" systems. It also
provides the “assisted hardware virtualization” required by some operating systems for
backward compatibility, such as Windows XP Mode for Windows 7.
NOTE
Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT.
1.10.5.3 Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology (Intel
®
TXT)
Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) helps protect the platform against
software-based attacks and preserves the confidentiality and integrity of the data
created and stored on the system. It accomplishes this by using a measured launch
and leveraging Intel VT to produce a protected environment for the execution of
sensitive applications.
NOTE
Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel TXT.
1.10.5.4 Intel
®
Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O
(Intel
®
VT-d)
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) compliments Intel VT by
providing the ability to isolate and restrict device accesses to the resources owned by
the virtual partition managing the device.
NOTE
Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT.
