LOS ANGELES, CA (NYSE: IFX), a leading supplier of integrated
circuits and supporting software for secure computing and
communications devices, today announced the Trusted Computing
Management Server (TCMS) software suite for central management of
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) equipped PCs in enterprise
environments.
The TCMS software suite can be bundled with Infineon's TPM
Professional Package Software V3.5 for a complete hardware and
software solution for enterprise professionals to safely protect
their client data.
The Infineon TCMS software enables enterprise customers to
easily deploy and manage TPM-equipped PCs, enabling a fully
"trusted computing" experience for the user. Targeting medium and
large companies, this software suite allows enterprises to take
full advantage of TPM-based security on a heterogeneous PC
infrastructure, which enables central management of Microsoft
Windows�-based clients within the enterprise. The upgraded version
of the TPM Professional Package software offers users the same user
interface, despite the heterogeneous TPM hardware they may have on
their PCs. Hardware can either be an Infineon TPM or a qualified
3rd party Trusted Computing Group (TCG)-compliant TPM.
"HP has been a leader in TPM adoption by providing the HP
Embedded Client Solution as a standard feature across many of our
business desktop and notebook PCs," said Carolyn Bosco, Worldwide
Security Marketing Manager for HP Business PCs. "The Infineon TCMS
will now allow HP customers to seamlessly integrate and manage HP
security solutions through their central IT management
infrastructure."
"Microsoft is pleased to be working with Infineon to expand the
offerings for Windows Server 2008 customers," said Ward Ralston,
Group Technical Product Manager for Windows Server Marketing at
Microsoft Corp. "Our industry partners play an essential role in
ensuring that our customers have the best technology foundation
available and Infineon's TCMS software suite helps deliver valuable
new functionality to our joint customers."
"Security continues to be a growing concern for professional PC
users especially for notebook users," said Josef Kohn, Product
Manager of Infineon Technologies North America. "As a leader in
security and with over 15 years of security expertise, Infineon
understands the importance of data security from a hardware and
software perspective. With the new Professional Package Software
supporting TCG-compliant TPM Hardware and the TCMS as the central
management solution, this will allow corporate customers to
efficiently deploy and manage TPM-based security applications."
According to a study of US market research company IDC, today
more than 150 million notebooks and desktops are equipped with a
Trusted Platform Module (TPM). IDC also anticipates the TPM market
will increase to more than 250 million pieces shipped in the year
2010 alone. This equals an attach rate of more than 90 percent of
all notebooks and desktops.
