Axiado and Wiwynn Forge Alliance

Axiado Corporation, an AI-enhanced hardware cybersecurity company, and Wiwynn Corporation, a cloud IT infrastructure, unveiled their partnership.

This collaboration opens the door to a new era in data center security by developing servers powered by Axiado’s Trusted Control/Compute Units (TCUs).

“Platforms such as Wiwynn’s OCP Accepted Yosemite V3, a high-density, multi-sled system, provide a launching pad for players that seek to innovate and leverage the momentum behind highly modular systems that are essential to meet changing workload requirements,” said Bijan Nowroozi, CTO, Open Compute Project’s (OCP). “Wiwynn and Axiado jointly push the boundary with new features in platform security based on an approved OCP spec.“

Leveraging the OCPʼs open-source multi-node “Yosemite V3” server spec, the collaboration aims to develop a solution that combines the strengths of both companies. The forthcoming TCU-based servers will not only leverage the capabilities of the preexisting service platform but also contribute to the efficient management of data centers with its integrated platform root of trust (PRoT) and hardware-anchored, AI-driven platform security. The partnership signifies a convergence of security and performance to address the evolving needs of the cloud service provider industry.

Axiado’s TCUs incorporate a blend of AI, data collection, and software within a compact, power-efficient SoC. This single-chip solution includes real-time and proactive AI capabilities for preemptive threat detection and protection through a dedicated co-processor. It also integrates the root of trust (RoT), baseboard management controller (BMC), trusted platform module (TPM), and complex programmable logic device (CPLD) functions.

“The collaboration between Wiwynn and Axiado signifies a critical leap forward for the cloud service provider and enterprise markets,” said Steven Lu, EVP, Wiwynn, “This shift toward modular systems aligns perfectly with the industry’s trajectory and reinforces Wiwynn’s position as a tier-1 player.“

“The integration of Axiado’s TCUs into Wiwynn’s OCP-recognized servers opens doors to an architecture based upon OCP-approved specs, enabled by hardware-anchored, AI-driven solutions,” said Gopi Sirineni, president and CEO, Axiado. “By harnessing the capabilities of Axiado’s TCUs, we’re poised to streamline the deployment of next gen systems crucial for the future of data centers.“

As Wiwynn continues to embrace transformative solutions like Axiado’s TCUs, the company’s presence within the CSP market will be solidified, while concurrently expanding Axiado’s reach across a global customer base.
