HyTrust Deploys New Intel Security Technology; Advances Trust in the Cloud
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)--
HyTrust, Inc., the leader in policy management and access
control for virtualization infrastructure, today announced that it
has joined the Intel (News - Alert)® Enabled Solutions Acceleration Alliance
(Intel® ESAA) with the aim of working jointly with Intel to develop a
recipe that brings trust attestation-starting at the hardware root-to
policy-driven, multi-tenant virtual environments.
Intel® ESAA enables resellers to more easily build and deploy IT
solutions by giving them access to pre-validated configuration guides
("recipes") co-developed by Intel and independent hardware and software
vendors such as HyTrust. A one-stop resource for pre-validated hardware
and software solutions, Intel ESAA helps its members build
relationships, reduce engineering costs, and compete with products based
on the proven reliability of Intel Server, Workstation, and Desktop
Products.
"The explosive growth of virtualization and cloud technologies also
brings new security challenges," said Ned Thanhouser, Intel ESAA Program
Manager. "HyTrust's membership in the Intel ESAA program further enables
resellers to bring trust and security to cloud environments deployed on
Intel server platforms."
The solution will utilize Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel®
TXT), supported by Intel's latest generation of server processors, the
Intel® Xeon® Processor (News - Alert) 5600 series. Intel TXT helps attest to platform
identity and trustworthiness with hardware-based mechanisms that enable
the controlled launch and registration of critical infrastructure
software. This serves to establish trust and protect the confidentiality
and integrity of software applications and data -a critical prerequisite
for building a trusted cloud computing platform.
Combining VMware platform technology currently in development with
HyTrust Appliance complements Intel's TXT boot measurement via the
VMware vSphere™ 4.1 Web Services SDK. It determines and manages which
virtualzed cloud operations are allowed or disallowed based on the
integrity of the underlying platform.
"HyTrust Appliance provides control, visibility and security for shared
environments that are a foundation of internal and external clouds,"
said Eric Chiu, CEO of HyTrust. "Working with innovators like Intel and
VMware allows our rich policy engine to drive security zone definition
all the way down to hardware, paving the way for broader cloud
acceptance."
