IBM puts a 1000 hypervisors on a computer and secures them

The Register reported this week that IBM is announcing a platform capable of running a 1000 VMs.

Read their report here.

Hypervisors and VMs are exploding everywhere...at vendors, large and small, and at clients. These days I'm rarely at a client who isn't betting the bank on VMs and hypervisors.

What caught my eye on this article was IBM's work on moving the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG) Trusted Platform Module over to hypervisors (well, just Xen, right now). I'm delighted that IBM is leading the way with secure hypervisors and with porting TCG goals to VM environments. I'm not sure if any other vendors are working on similar projects, and if so, what stage they are in, but I want to congratulate IBM for its leadership in this arena.
