From Dell (today's news):
Security – automated data security with full disk encryption and solid state drives for added data protection on select systems; improved chassis intrusion prevention; Dell Control Point security management, smart card authentication; remote patching and isolation.
From Wave:
Wave Systems Corp. (“Wave” or “the Licensor” ) signed an amendment to its software license agreement with Dell Products, L.P. (“the OEM”) extending the term of the agreement to January 2011. Pursuant to the existing agreement, the OEM is permitted to distribute Wave’s EMBASSY Trust Suite (ETS) software on certain of its PCs that include Trusted Platform Module security chips.
From SKS:
Another major event that was announced was we renegotiated our Dell contract. During the period of 2007 Dell re-competed their business around security software in the, across the board. We successfully won that business. We were also able in that negotiation to be able to increase our pricing, really to provide additional functionality. We think that there's a tremendous opportunity to even more broadly enable these platforms and demonstrate the differentiation that we help to bring to our partners in offering a full secure solution on the platform. So we were very pleased to successfully achieve that. We look forward to shipping with them for the ongoing future. The current contract extension extends through 2011.
