June 5, 2012
Server chip juggernaut Intel Corp. vowed Tuesday to improve cloud computing security in collaboration with computer security firm McAfee Inc. over the next five years, with the aim of providing better cloud computing solutions.
Intel, a multinational chip maker, is aiming to make cloud security "equal to or better than traditional best-in-class enterprise security," said Boyd Davis, the company’s Architecture Group vice president.

Meanwhile, Intel plans to continue to drive micro server development with its global partners, including Taiwan’s Quanta Computer Inc. and MiTAC International Corp., Japan’s NEC Co
