Value proposition

Single-chip solution saves space/power in AI data centers while providing AI-driven real-time threat detection/mitigation against ransomware, side-channel, and network attacks

Products and solutions

["AX3080 TCU (2nd-gen SoC with RoT, BMC, TPM, HSM, firewall, AI/ML)","SCM3080-MT (module for NVIDIA/xPU accelerated computing)","Smart-SCM3002 (OCP DC-SCM compliant secure module)","AI-Driven Secure Management Card (for NVIDIA MGX platforms)","Axiado Software (APIs, SDKs, documentation)"]

Unique value

First single-chip SoC fully integrating RoT/BMC/TPM/HSM/firewall/SecureNIC/AI/ML for hardware-anchored, preemptive cybersecurity; per-platform AI threat engine with forensic hardware fingerprints

Target customer

Hyperscalers, OEM/ODM partners (NVIDIA ecosystem, GIGABYTE, Pegatron), data center operators, 5G/telco providers, network switch manufacturers

Industries served

["Cloud/Data Centers","5G Base Stations/Telco","Network Switches","Power Management Controllers","Accelerated Computing/Edge"]

Technology advantage

25x25mm package under 5W power; eliminates attack surfaces via memory integration; OCP DC-SCM 2.0 compliant for easy deployment; AI-driven DTM/DVFS for energy efficiency; integrates with Caliptra root of trust

How they differentiate

Axiado differentiates through its Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU), a single-chip SoC integrating root-of-trust (RoT), BMC, TPM, HSM, SecureNIC, firewall, and per-system AI/ML for real-time threat detection/mitigation. This hardware-anchored, AI-driven approach targets AI data centers, 5G, and edge with OCP DC-SCM compliance, offering superior space/power efficiency and preemptive cybersecurity over competitors' software-heavy or less integrated solutions.
