Intel Directed-I/O Virtualisation Technology (VT-d) continues existing support for virtualisation solutions for the IA-32 (VT-x) and systems with Itanium processors (VT-i) and extends it with new support for I/O device virtualisation. Intel VT-d can help users improve system security, reliability and I/O device performance in virtualised environments. Intel Virtualisation Technology (VT-x) allows a hardware platform to be deployed as multiple "virtual" platforms. It provides improved manageability by reducing downtime and maintaining productivity by moving computing operations into separate partitions. Intel AES New Instructions (Intel AES-NI) is a set of instructions for encrypting and decrypting data quickly and securely. AES-NI are valuable components for cryptographic applications such as: bulk encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation and authentication encryption applications.

Intel Rapid Storage technology provides protection, performance and expandability for desktop and mobile platforms. Users can take advantage of improved performance and reduced power consumption when using one or more hard drives. With two or more hard drives, data can also be protected from loss should one drive fail. Successor to Intel Matrix Storage Technology.
