"IMPORTANT: You must run the supported version of the HP-UX operating system to utilize the TPM security component. I believe this is the Unix OS." Will Wave software run on Unix? This server is also available for Windows and Linux. Have not found Wave here yet although will browse the large amount of data and will post if I find.

"CAUTION: Destroy the TPM after removing it from the server. Follow local regulations to securely destroy the TPM. Do not attempt to use the TPM in another server."

One, two, three, or four Itanium 2 dual-core processors.

Todays WSJ article posted by several says "Intel's Itanium has features called hardware protection keys that safeguard portions of a computer's memory from unauthorized software code." "Intel announced plans to exploit the TPM along with modifications to its own chips in the second half of this year." To be used with Vpro for corporate pcs.

Intel appears to already be doing so with HP and their customers. Are they bundling Wave software to manage server and clients?
