Built-in features to mitigate the spread of cyberattacks

With the increasing complexity of applications spanning multiple machines and data centers worldwide, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. Axiado’s TCU, featuring built-in features to mitigate the spread of cyberattacks, offers an industry-standard plug-in module for data center and cloud applications. By offloading security, control, and management functions from the main host processor motherboard, this module ensures faster time-to-market and significantly enhances server security while remaining compliant with Open Compute Platform (OCP) standards.

• Hardware-anchored ransomware prevention
• Fast anomaly detection (<1 Minute)
• Multi-tenant virtualization and multi-node
• Runtime attestation
• Hardware-based ownership provisioning
• High resiliency and fast infrastructure recovery

Built-in hardware-based AI and cybersecurity, protecting 5g networks

The TCU, with its built-in cybersecurity capabilities, serves as a crucial safeguard for next-generation networks, particularly in the case of dispersed 5G cellular base stations. These base stations often lack the physical security that servers enjoy, making them vulnerable to side-channel attacks aimed at extracting cryptographic keys and protecting sensitive user data. By implementing an on-board TCU solution, specifically tailored for 5G base stations, the network gains enhanced protection against power analysis, voltage glitching, and clock manipulation attacks. Axiado offers the advantages of a security offload card while allowing for additional customization beyond module interface standards.

• Fast anomaly detection (<1 min)
• Side-channel attack detection
• Hardware-based ownership provisioning
• Single package & field-upgradable
• High resiliency and fast infrastructure recover
• Hardware-based platform security

Built-in cybersecurity, safeguarding next-generation networks

The TCU goes beyond traditional network security measures that focus on the data plane. With its built-in cybersecurity features, it safeguards the control and management plane, which, if compromised, could provide hackers with a backdoor to sensitive data in the network. A plug-in-module, specifically designed for future networking applications like top-of-the-rack switches, performs security, control, and management processing. Powered by the single-chip TCU, this module offers an ultra-compact form factor and a turnkey software stack, ensuring future-proofing against the evolving security demands in the network.

• Multi-tenant virtualization and multi-node
• Runtime attestation
• Hardware-based ownership provisioning
• Single package & field-upgradable
• High resiliency and fast infrastructure recover
• Higher average selling price

Universal shelf monitoring and control module for PSUs and BBUs

The TCU serves as the driving force behind the PMC that is placed on Open Rack v3.0 (ORV3) power shelves with power shelf units (PSUs) and battery backup units (BBUs). TCU is an integrated ASIC with trusted computing, BMC, TPM, HRoT, and AI/ML. With an on-board TCU solution, it provides AI-driven security, network anomaly detection, failure detection and prediction by monitoring various sensors for voltage, temperature, etc. along with other standard PMC functionality. This module offers the additional benefits of offload for customization of security, management, and any other customer value-added services.

• OpenRack v3.0 (ORV3) standards-compliant
• OpenBMC
• Secure communication and management of PSU/BBU Including firmware updates
• Scalable to all rack types for multi-shelf deployment
• AI/ML network anomaly detection
• Failure detection and prediction through monitoring of various sensory parameters (voltage, current, temperature, etc.)
• Data telemetry
