Abstract
Techniques for trusted platform module (TPM) assisted data center management are provided. A data center registers TPM remote attestations for physical processing environments of physical devices within a data center. Each time a physical processing environment is established; a new TPM remote attestation is generated and validated against the registered TPM remote attestation. Additionally, during registration other identifying information is supplied to the physical processing environments that permit each physical processing environment to be authenticated, validated, and controlled via unique identities. Inter-data center communication is established for sharing virtual processing environments and administrative operations are authenticated within each of the data centers perform any administrative operation is permitted to process within a particular data center.
