The sHype technology is intended to provide a security wrapper around distributed workloads in the data center, extending mainframe-like security to pooled data and resources across multiple IBM and non-IBM systems, the company said. IBM plans to introduce several technologies with sHype as part of a plan to offer secure and efficient data centers. Portions of sHype are being used in the open source Xen hypervisor kernel.
