“Incorporating the Intel® Xeon®
processor E7 v2 family into our
cloud security solution enables
us to support more virtual
machines—and more customers—
on each server. We can accelerate
deployment, facilitate rapid
scalability, and keep costs low.”
– Robert Rounsavall,
Co-founder and President,
Trapezoid
Company
Trapezoid offers innovative security solutions that help verify trusted connections
between a wide range of systems and the cloud computing environments they access.
The company’s Trust Visibility Engine* is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that
helps increase visibility into hardware systems, conduct analytics and compliance
reporting, track virtual machines, and facilitate remediation of security problems.
Challenge
To provide an integrated software and hardware solution, Trapezoid needs a processor
architecture that can deliver the performance to handle increasing data and
analytical workload volumes; the memory capacity to support a scalable, multi-tenant
environment; and the density to maximize computing capacity in a small physical
footprint. The company also requires a processing architecture with integrated security
capabilities to help optimize data security.
Solution
After running pilot tests to evaluate new Intel® processors, Trapezoid selected the
Intel® Xeon® processor E7 v2 family as the foundation for its cloud security solution.
As with the previous platform, the Trapezoid solution capitalizes on Intel® Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) to verify the identity and integrity of server
hardware and software components and to track the location of workloads across
the cloud environment.
Benets
Pilot testing showed that the Intel Xeon processor E7 v2 family can deliver strong
analytics performance and maintain high standards for security and reliability. At the same
time, the new processors help create a high-density infrastructure. “Incorporating the
Intel Xeon processor E7 v2 family into our cloud security solution enables us to support
more virtual machines—and more customers—on each server,” says Robert Rounsavall,
co-founder and president of Trapezoid. “We can accelerate deployment, facilitate rapid
scalability, and keep costs low.”
