Intel SGX-based MS Azure DCsv2-Series
Providing confidential computing capabilities to corporate customers
SGX can be used on Xeon E-2100


Intel announced on the 28th that the Microsoft Azure DCsv2-Series, featuring a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) built on Intel SGX (Intel® Software Guard Extensions), has been released.

Built on Intel's Trusted Foundation, the Azure DCsv2-Series provides confidential computing capabilities to enterprise customers seeking to protect sensitive business operations while leveraging cloud computing.

TEE combined with encrypted data storage and transmission methods can establish an end-to-end security architecture for sensitive data, such as data typically regulated in financial services and healthcare.

Azure Confidential Computing virtual machines based on Intel SGX execute code and data separately from the operating system, hypervisor or virtual machine manager and other privileged processes.

Anil RaoThe Vice President of Data Center Security and System Architecture at Intel stated, “Customers are demanding capabilities to encrypt data in use to reduce vulnerability to attacks and to protect critical data in the cloud.”

He explained, “Through collaboration with Microsoft, we have launched a confidential computing solution suitable for enterprises into the market, enabling customers to benefit from cloud and Multi-Party Compute (MPC) through Intel SGX technology.”

Meanwhile, Intel SGX is available for the Intel® Xeon® processor E-2100 family.
