Email reply from Wave "Technical Sales Engineer"
I was pleased to get a helpful response from the general support contact mailbox securesolutions@wavesys.com linked on Wave web site.
My questions:
1) Will KTM Enterprise Server AD operate with complete functionality on a Windows 2003 Server or 2003 Small Business Server OS, without Microsoft® SQL Server installed?
2) Per Lenovo's web site it appears the IBM 4758 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor, optional for by KTM ES AD, was discontinued in October 2005. Will it be replaced by a TPM made only for servers when the TCG issues server specs?
Wave TSE response:
1) KTM Enterprise Server AD works on Windows 2003 Server and it has been verified on that Operating system. But I think there would not be any issues for it to work on 2003 Small Business Server. If you do not wish to use MS SQL Server then in that case you can use Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) as a database which is available for free.
2) We had verified our software with IBM 4758 Crypto Card and if you have any other HSM (Hardware Security Module) compatible with MS CAPI in mind then we can verify if we can support that.
As far as TPMs on the server is concerned, once that becomes available and all dependecies like Drivers, Software Stack are available Wave would be able to make our Server products compatiable with that.
