IPMI is not AMT. AMT/vPro is closed protocol, right? Also people are disabling AMT, because of listed risks, which is too bad; but it's easier than properly firewalling it.
Better to just say "it lets you bring up the console remotely without windows running, so machines can be fixed by people who don't have to come into the office".
Ah, you’re right. A poor turn of phrase.
I meant to say that intel brands their IPMI tools as AMT or vPro. (And completely sidestepped mentioning the numerous issues with AMT, because, well, that’s probably a novel at this point.)
