Introduction

Introduction to the High-level API Intel Management Library Technology

Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is a capability embedded in Intel-based platforms (in an Intel AMT device). Intel AMT enables remote access to platforms even when the operating system is not available or the platform is turned off. The only requirement is that the platform must be connected to a power supply and a network.

AMT is designed into a secondary (service) processor located on the motherboard, and uses TLS-secured communication and strong encryption to provide additional security. AMT is part of the Intel Management Engine, which is built into PCs with Intel vPro technology.
...
An OEM can also pre-provision AMT.

The current version of AMT supports remote deployment on both laptop and desktop PCs.
...
Remote deployment, until recently, was only possible within a corporate network.

The Management Engine (ME) is an isolated and protected coprocessor, embedded as a non-optional part in all current (as of 2015) Intel chipsets. According to an independent analysis by Igor Skochinsky, it is based on an ARC core, and the Management Engine runs the ThreadX RTOS from Express Logic.
