So who is using it? Where are tools which allow you to set up and manage the infrastructure? Why it can't be disabled, except hacks, and one undocumented feature requested by NSA, because they did not want it running? It is a backdoor, if it wasn't it would be disabled by default and you would have to pay premium to have that feature enabled.
Enterprise. Intel has a tool that lets you use it but other management services like SCCM and landesk have methods to use amt/vpro.
