IBM Makes Data Centers More Secure

The new technology developed in IBM Research labs provides greater security and flexibility in virtualized data centers. It consists in implementing security directly into virtualization software tools that are already used in data centers.

The major advantage of the IBM secure hypervisor architecture, or "sHype," is higher data integrity and security.

"Thanks to the simplification benefits of the technology, virtualization adoption is on the rise but concerns about securing the virtualized data center persist," said Rich Lechner, Vice President, IBM Virtualization. "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."
