Intel Partners with VMware for Cloud Security

Although companies are expanding their use of cloud computing to realize improved agility and efficiencies, concerns about security remains a top barrier to adoption. Today, Intel Corporation announced new collaboration with VMware and will deliver a platform for trusted cloud that combines Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) with the new release of VMware vSphere® 5.1, the leading platform for building cloud infrastructures. With hardware-enhanced security capabilities integrated into the processor, Intel TXT combined with VMware vSphere 5.1 will provide a hardened and high-integrity platform to run business-critical applications in private and public cloud environments.
