Intel partners with VMware on cloud security
Intel Corp. will collaborate with VMware Inc. to deliver a platform for "trusted cloud" that combines Intel's Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) and VMware's vSphere 5.1, platform for building cloud infrastructures, Intel said Monday (Aug. 27).
Intel (Santa Clara, Calif.) said its hardware-enhanced security capabilities integrated directly into the processor combined with vSphere 5.1 would provide a hardened and high-integrity platform to run business-critical applications in private and public cloud environments. While companies are expanding their use of cloud computing to improve agility and efficiencies, Intel noted that concerns about security remains a top barrier to adoption.
