AMD works with Amazon to create virtualized graphics in the cloud
Amazon Web Services has chosen to use Advanced Micro Devices’ graphics technology to run graphics software in the cloud. The net result is that it could become a lot cheaper to process graphics-intensive apps in the cloud, rather than on a local machine.

HyTrust, a leader in workload security solutions, today made moves to broaden security and compliance offerings for VMware Cloud Provider Program Partners with further integration of HyTrust solutions and VMware vCloud Director (vCD). This enhanced offering builds on HyTrust’s existing integration with NSX and vCenter with the ability to include discrete vCloud Director driven workload encryption for vCloud Director tenants. The solution utilizes Intel Xeon processors hardware-based security technologies to address the current needs of VMware Cloud Provider Program Partners who are committed to providing secure and regulatory compliant cloud offerings to their customers. Demonstrations of this technology will be exhibited at the
