Helpful.

Anytime an enterprise turns on the TPM in order to use it for any applications, they will realistically need to have centralized management software like ERAS and key management like EKMS to provide the infrastructure, separate from the application usage such as Aruba’s clients. This is a good development for the industry to get TPMs turned on and used, and provides opportunities for Wave’s products.

It's possible the Aruba solution uses Wave's CSP in order to work on all TSSs. If true this would involve Wave collaboration in order for Aruba to implement their solution with TPM. I don't know that this scenario is true and don't especially care to speculate if it is.

"We are the guys who turn on the TPMs for Aruba" could mean it takes a Wave enterprise customer managing their TPMs using Wave tools, or else Aruba has no TPM enterprise customer. Let's face it, if an enterprise is using their TPMs at this early point in TPM adoption, it's a Wave customer. It could also be a reference to the above scenario where Aruba has used Wave's CSP for their solution to interface with a TPM.
