Axiado’s Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) is a first-of-its-kind security processor purpose-built to address the escalating cyber threats facing today’s hyperscale infrastructure. Unlike traditional solutions that patch vulnerabilities with fragmented software or disparate hardware, the TCU enforces real-time, AI-accelerated security policies directly at the silicon layer. It combines a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), Root of Trust (RoT), Trusted Platform Module (TPM), firewall, secure networking, telemetry, and machine learning engines into one cohesive System-on-Chip (SoC)—a revolutionary shift that significantly reduces the system attack surface and response latency.

At the core of this innovation is hardware-enforced zero trust. TCU creates a secure enclave from boot through runtime, continuously monitoring for anomalies and autonomously isolating threats such as firmware tampering, ransomware, and supply chain attacks. The chip also enables Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM), optimizing power and cooling in AI data centers—reducing energy consumption by up to 50%.

What sets TCU apart isn’t just the functionality, but the real-world traction. In 2024–2025, Axiado’s TCU was integrated into servers for NVIDIA’s Blackwell AI platform and adopted by key players like Pegatron, GIGABYTE, Intel, AMD, and Arm. This validates its role not just as a secure co-processor, but as a foundational building block for the next generation of intelligent infrastructure.
In short, Axiado’s TCU replaces complexity with convergence, transforming platform protection from a patchwork of reactive defenses into a unified, proactive, and programmable system embedded in silicon.
