Axiado Corporation, a business that uses artificial intelligence to improve hardware cybersecurity, and Wiwynn, a global supplier of cloud IT infrastructure that develops and produces server and storage solutions for data centers, have announced their collaboration to transform the server technology market. The collaboration will be announced at the OCP Summit 2023 that starts coming Monday.
This partnership ushers in a new age of data center security by creating servers that use the “cutting-edge” Trusted Control/Compute Units (TCUs) from Axiado.
"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, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of OCP. "Wiwynn and Axiado jointly push the boundary with new features in platform security based on an approved OCP specification."
Using the open-source multi-node ‘Yosemite V3’ server standard from the Open Compute Project (OCP), the partnership seeks to create a ground-breaking solution that integrates the capabilities of both businesses. The next-geneation TCU-based servers, with their hardware-anchored, AI-driven platform security and integrated platform root of trust (PRoT), will not only make use of the current service platform's capabilities but also help operate data centers “in an easy and effective manner.” The collaboration represents a convergence of performance and security to meet the changing demands of the cloud service provider (CSP) sector.
CSPs, Enterprises
The TCUs from Axiado combine artificial intelligence (AI), data gathering, and software into a small, power-efficient system-on-a-chip (SoC). With the help of a dedicated coprocessor, this single-chip solution offers proactive and real-time AI capabilities for proactive threat identification and all-encompassing security. The functionalities of the complex programmable logic device (CPLD), baseboard management controller (BMC), trusted platform module (TPM), and root of trust (RoT) would also be smoothly integrated.
"The collaboration between Wiwynn and Axiado signifies a critical leap forward for the cloud service provider and enterprise markets," said Steven Lu, Executive Vice President of 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 specifications, enabled by hardware-anchored, AI-driven solutions,” said Gopi Sirineni, President and CEO at Axiado. “By harnessing the capabilities of Axiado's TCUs, we're poised to streamline the deployment of next-generation systems crucial for the future of data centers.”
Wiwynn's position in the CSP industry will probably be cemented as long as it continues to adopt innovative solutions like Axiado's TCUs, which will also help Axiado reach a larger worldwide clientele.
