TriActive, Inc., founded in 1997, has recently added AMT (vPro) capabilities to their software. This product is called Systems Management On Demand and you can read more about it here. In their own words, "TriActive was a pioneer of delivering Systems Management solutions using a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model to organizations of all sizes for laptops, desktops, servers, and network devices." (from their website) Below we have provided some screen shots of their newly acquired AMT capabilities...

• Systems Management Overview Video
  • LAN and Web-based remote control & diagnostics
  • Intel vPro with AMT support when Microsoft Windows is not running
  • Asset hardware, software, security inventory with change history
  • Fully integrated SW delivery, Patch mgmt, License Compliance
• Case Studies - From Newsweek to the YMCA, they've aquired a pretty good range of customers.
  • "We were very keen on getting full infrastructure coverage almost instantaneously. TriActive's hosted service got us up and running within days. We did not have to install any software, and we have no software to maintain. TriActive promised us a solution that worked immediately, and that's what we got, without any of the hassles of typical software installations," says the CTO of Newsweek.

So what are Platform Event Traps and what is its relevance to managed systems? With Intel AMT Remote Management you always recieve readily available access to event logs of these things: PC Sensors, effectors, and other non-volatile data. But, what you might not know is that it can also generate out-of-band alerts (PETs) based on sensor events. Platform Event Trap is a specification defining the format for managed systems to alert a remote console. Intel AMT uses this PET format to send these event alerts. And while ASF does the same, with Intel AMT PETs you can subscribe up to 16 different destinations. With ASF, you have to decide on just one unique destination point for every event/alert.

Interested and want to learn more? Below you can find some blogs that can provide some further insight.

So now, we'd like to hear what you've got to say about it. We want to open up and see what you all think. How's the length? Is 15 minutes too short or would 30 minutes be too long? Would you rather hear about upcoming or past technologies? Would you want to hear some outside ideas during the show - like a guest from one of Intel's ISVs perhaps? Got any other suggestions for topics you'd like to see on the show?

Just a few questions there to get your brain moving - but the floor is wide open.
