VMware and the Trusted Platform Module
Posted by Ken Y-N on June 5th, 2010 at 02:56pm
I came across an interesting article regarding VMware’s latest version of vSphere supporting a TPM (vSphere is VMware’s infrastructure that supports cloud computing, I think) but the person writing the article had a lot of trouble trying to get the thing to work, and indeed had to give up. However, he was not downhearted:
I expect both 3rd party vendors and VMware will develop the missing pieces in a future release (note the ESX & ESXi 4.1/4.5 version #’s in the videos) and look forward to being able to fully utilize this new security feature.
There’s also a picture of the optional TPM chip and how it fits onto an HP server motherboard, in case if you have ever been curious to see what it looks like.
