Intel Cloud Builders Guide: Cloud Design and Deployment on Intel Platforms
Cloud computing is a relatively new delivery model for IT services, and offers its users tremendous benefits in cost and scalability. However, concerns about security often limit how businesses embrace this new model.
This paper presents a technical and architectural solution intended to address some of the major security concerns that arise with respect to cloud computing. The reference architecture outlined in this paper, based on the Enomaly Elastic Computing Platform High Assurance Edition1 (ECP HAE) running on Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series-based Dell PowerEdge™ R710 servers with support for Intel® Trusted Execution Technology2 (Intel® TXT), describes a cloud environment which offers significant protection to offset security risks.
