Description
Enhance your server security with the HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Kit, a complete hardware-based security solution for modern data centers. This kit equips your HPE ProLiant servers with a dedicated cryptographic processor that stores keys, certificates, and secrets in a tamper-resistant environment. TPM 2.0 enables secure boot, measured boot, and trusted attestation, helping you prove the integrity of your server firmware and software stack. By isolating sensitive cryptographic material from the host CPU, the TPM significantly reduces the risk of firmware-level attacks, ransomware, and data breaches. Whether you’re protecting sensitive customer data, compliance records, or enterprise workloads, the HPE TPM 2.0 Kit is designed to integrate with your existing IT infrastructure with minimal downtime. It is a scalable solution that grows with your security needs and supports enterprise-grade management through standard APIs and vendor-provided tools. This kit is ideal for businesses deploying virtualization, cloud-ready applications, and rigorous regulatory environments that demand verifiable trust in hardware.
- Robust security architecture: hardware-based key storage, secure boot, measured boot, and attestation provide a tamper-evident foundation for your servers.
- Seamless integration with the HPE management ecosystem: works with iLO, Intelligent Provisioning, and security features to simplify deployment and ongoing management.
