What Axiado Corporation Inc does

Axiado Corporation is a privately held fabless semiconductor company founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Jose, California, that develops AI-driven hardware-anchored security processors for cloud, AI, and 5G infrastructure. The company's core product is the Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU), a system-on-chip that consolidates Root of Trust, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Hardware Security Module (HSM), SecureNIC, firewall, and on-chip AI/ML inference into a single 25x25mm package drawing under 5 watts. The portfolio spans chip-level silicon (AX3080 second-generation TCU), module-level products (SCM3080-MT for NVIDIA xPU ecosystems, Smart-SCM3002 / SCM3003 for OCP DC-SCM-compliant servers), and complementary capabilities including AI-driven Dynamic Thermal Management and Dynamic Voltage & Frequency Scaling for energy optimization.

Axiado generates revenue primarily by selling silicon and integrated modules to server OEMs, ODMs, and hyperscale data center operators, with its TCU embedded into NVIDIA MGX and Blackwell, Intel MGX, and AMD platforms through partnerships with Gigabyte, Pegatron, Inventec, Jabil, Wiwynn, Tyan, Wistron, Quanta, Senao, and AMI. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, OEM-embedded channels, OCP community distribution, and standards-based integration (Caliptra root-of-trust IP, OpenBMC for power management). The company has raised over $250 million in total funding across Series B, Series C, and Series C+ rounds, with Maverick Silicon leading both the December 2024 ($60M) and December 2025 ($100M+) rounds and Samsung Catalyst Fund, Prosperity7 Ventures, Crosslink Capital, and others participating.

The company employs between 101 and 250 people across San Jose, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Taipei, with approximately 75% of recent hiring directed to India engineering operations focused on firmware development, platform security engineering, and silicon validation. Axiado has received more than 20 industry awards between 2020 and 2026, including recognition from Fast Company, Globee, Cybersecurity Excellence Awards, and EE Times, and is OCP DC-SCM compliant.

Core offering

Axiado designs, manufactures, and sells the Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU), an AI-driven hardware-anchored security processor system-on-chip that integrates Root of Trust, Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Hardware Security Module (HSM), SecureNIC, firewall, and on-chip AI/ML into a single device. The TCU and its derivative OCP-compliant security modules are sold to server manufacturers, hyperscale data center operators, telecom equipment vendors, and networking switch makers to deliver real-time threat detection, ransomware prevention, side-channel attack protection, and energy efficiency (Dynamic Thermal Management, Dynamic Voltage & Frequency Scaling).

Product overview

Axiado offers a unified portfolio of AI-driven hardware-anchored platform security products built around its proprietary Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) — a single-chip SoC integrating Root of Trust, BMC, TPM, HSM, Firewall, and AI/ML into one device. The portfolio spans chip-level products (AX3080 second-generation TCU), module-level products (SCM3080-MT for NVIDIA xPU ecosystems, Smart-SCM3002 and AI-Driven Secure Management Card SCM3003 for OCP-compliant servers), and sub-component security engines (Secure Vault, Secure AI, Security Hardware Firewall, Security Control Accelerator). These products are complemented by AI-driven features including Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) and Dynamic Voltage & Frequency Scaling (DVFS) for energy optimization. The TCU serves as the foundational platform upon which all products and features are built, providing a hardware-anchored, AI-native control plane for security, management, and efficiency across cloud datacenters, 5G networks, network switches, and power management controllers.
