Data security technology with the Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is an optional hardware module that can securely store
information such as passwords and encryption keys to authenticate the platform. Administrators can
also use TPM to store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy.
ProLiant G6 servers support an optional TPM v1.2. A rivet supplied with the optional TPM v1.2
module attaches and secures the module to the system board. To prevent possible damage to the TPM
module or to the system board, the TPM cannot be removed once it has been installed.
Summary
The HP ProLiant SL6000 Scalable System is a highly efficient, modular power and cooling
infrastructure with a suite of pluggable server modules designed for extreme scale-out deployments. It
provides right-sized dense server solutions based on industry standards with lower acquisition cost
than traditional rack servers. Designed from the ground up for power efficiency, the ProLiant SL6000
includes server solutions that enhance power efficiency by sharing power supplies and fans to
significantly reduce data center costs. The modular design works with existing data center
infrastructure to provide a tailored solution that provides for easy serviceability in standard racks.
