Data security technology with the Trusted Platform Module

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a hardware-based system security feature that can securely store
information such as passwords and encryption keys to authenticate the platform. Administrators can
also use TPM to store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy.
Select ProLiant G5 server blades support an optional TPM v1.2. A rivet supplied with the optional
TPM v1.2 module attaches and secures the module to the system board. To prevent possible damage
to the TPM module or to the system board, the TPM cannot be removed from the board once it has
been installed. 10

Conclusion

HP BladeSystem c-Class architecture uses full-featured server blades in a highly dense form factor to
accommodate new technologies such as serialized I/O technologies, multi-core architectures,
virtualization, higher power loads, and memory formats requiring more power. This architecture
makes network, compute, and storage resources modular, enabling a truly adaptive infrastructure that
can accommodate continually changing business needs. HP ProLiant c-Class Server Blades address
the growing concern of balancing compute performance with the power and cooling capacity of the
data center.
