Axiado Corporation announced a strategic collaboration with Arm to enhance hardware security. Specifically, Axiado integrates its Data Center Secure Control Module cards into the new AGI CPU Platform. In turn, the two firms will exhibit this innovation at the OCP Global Summit on October 12-15, 2026. In addition, the integration provides hardware-based security and automation right inside the latest server architecture by Arm.
The Arm AGI processor with the Neoverse core was specifically designed for performing complex agentic AI tasks. Importantly, this processor is the first data center silicon by Arm after 35 years of operation. With the rapid expansion of the infrastructure for AI, a secure computing environment becomes crucial. Thus, it is vital to protect the AGI CPU Platform from firmware and supply chain attacks.
To solve this challenge, Axiado developed the Trusted Control Compute Unit chip. This single chip combines baseboard management, hardware root of trust, and AI inference acceleration. Thus, data center managers gain real-time monitoring and immediate runtime protection for the AGI CPU Platform.
Engineering Collaboration and Industry Compliance
Under this agreement, engineering teams from both companies are actively integrating the hardware. They connect Axiado’s OCP-compliant control modules powered by the TCU processor directly to the AGI CPU Platform. Moreover, the development process relies on open standards like OpenBMC, DC-SCM, DC-SCI, and Redfish. As a result, customers can deploy these security solutions across scaling server environments smoothly.
“Agentic AI is creating a new class of always-on compute demand, requiring infrastructure that can increase performance while strengthening security throughout the system. Our collaboration with Axiado brings intelligent platform management and strengthens the hardware-rooted security on the Arm AGI CPU platform and helping customers build secure, scalable infrastructure,” said Eddie Ramirez, Vice President of Go-to-Market, Cloud AI at Arm.
“Arm’s move into data center silicon with the Arm AGI CPU is a significant moment for the industry, and an innovative new platform deserves an equally innovative approach to management and security,” said Gopi Sirineni, Founder, President, and CEO of Axiado. “Our TCU-based DC-SCM brings intelligent platform management, hardware root of trust, and advanced AI-driven security together on a single module. Working closely with Arm’s engineering team, we’re making these capabilities available to Arm AGI CPU customers as they build out the next generation of AI infrastructure.”
Ultimately, this joint technical achievement delivers robust hardware protection for the AGI CPU Platform. Moving forward, both organizations plan to expand deployment support for enterprise cloud customers building next-generation AI systems. Consequently, this partnership establishes a safer foundation for the entire AGI CPU Platform ecosystem.
