You aren’t a moron at all. If you haven’t been exposed to it I wouldn’t expect you to know what it is.

So virtualization is kind of like taking multiple computer operating systems and running them on one physical server. So instead of needing a physical server for each system, you can run dozens. Then you can have clusters of physical machines that are running hundreds of virtual machines (computers) per cluster.

As a virtualization engineer, I work with VMware products (Now owned by Broadcom) to design and implement virtual infrastructure. This allows organizations to run multiple virtual machines on fewer physical servers, which enhances scalability and simplifies backup and recovery processes. Think of it as creating a digital version of a computer that can be easily adjusted and moved around.

Virtualization Engineer. Finally doing what I am passionate about. I was a stock broker 10 years ago. It was a crazy ride.

Talk less and listen more.

Realize that there is always someone that knows more than you do about any subject. Be humble knowing that you can always learn more.

Tempting to short the stock and say $&@# you Spez!

Glad I could help! 😃

Ok, I grabbed a few screen shots for you as well. Here is a site that will link you to MEBx setup that enables AMT: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03883429

When power on your ProDesk G3, you can access the MEBx setup by pressing Ctrl+P or they also say F6 or Escape will get you there. Intel AMT runs on a different IP address than what your OS gets. You can assign DHCP or a static IP address and setup your admin password. You can then access the portal from http://ipaddress:16992 There should be a method of access what would show on the screen through a KVM like access but I use MeshCentral for that so I couldn’t tell you how to do it without.

Hopefully, that gives you a start. Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions. Thank you!

I’m not in front of my computer atm, but I think I have something that can help you out. I have a 3-node Lenovo Thin client cluster that I manage their KVMs using the Intel vPro. I even went a step further using MeshCentral running on a VM to centralize my KVM access since I have 3 of them, but that’s another story.

Anyway, I’ll see if I can grab you some URLs in the morning if someone else doesn’t beat me to it or you find it on your own running google queries.
