BANGALORE: IBM today launched a new software technology Secure Hypervisor Architecture (sHype) developed to enhance security and management capabilities in virtualized data centers.
The technology will run in conjunction with commercial and open source hypervisors (virtualization managers). sHype provides a security wrapper around the distributed systems and extend mainframe like security to data across multiple IBM and non-IBM systems.
This is the industry’s first effort to embed trusted computing technologies directly into the virtualization and management software tools already used inside data centers.
“By putting security directly into the hypervisor virtualization layer, IBM Research has created a unique capability in sHype, providing clients with additional assurance that their virtualized data is protected,” said Shailesh Agarwal, country manager (Storage), IBM India.
IBM plans to introduce several other technologies with sHype as part of a comprehensive strategy to give customers the simplest, most secure and most efficient data centers possible.
