Intel TXT measures whether a virtual machine is "trusted" from the underlying hardware layer, meaning compromised VMs can be prevented from being VMotioned onto secure hardware; the feature, which HyTrust accesses through a VMware application programming interface developed with Intel, can also limit which physical hosts are eligible to host guest virtual machines that are subject to PCI DSS and other regulatory compliance guidelines.
