							|  |  | Today, we are pleased to announce that [Axiado Corporation](https://axiado.com/), an AI-enhanced hardware security company based in San Jose, CA, has joined the OpenPOWER Foundation as a Silver member.  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | The OpenPOWER Foundation is committed to an open, community-driven technology development process, which is critical to the continued growth of open collaboration around the POWER architecture.  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | “_OpenPOWER Foundation is pleased to welcome Axiado to the foundation and our community, and look forward to our collaboration in the open trusted compute solution space_”,  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | said [James Kulina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-kulina/), Executive Director, OpenPOWER Foundation.  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | “_Axiado’s datacenter-ready secure control module (DC-SCM) Smart SCM solution was inspired by OpenPOWER’s very own LibreBMC project.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | The rapid adoption and iteration from a fully open community-driven solution, is exactly what the foundation champions._”  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Axiado develops trusted control/compute security processors and management platforms.  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | Axiado’s solution provides protection to critical infrastructures and effectively fends off remote network- and local physical-based attacks.  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | It is ideally suited to providing protection for datacenters and mobile networks.  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | “_This is an important milestone for Axiado as it highlights our commitment to the Foundation and greater technical collaboration_”,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | said [Gopi Sirineni](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gopisirineni/), Axiado’s President & CEO. “Axiado Smart SCM fills several gaps in the market by eliminating fundamental security problems,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | like ransomware, via its ground-up built and integrated solution that minimizes the attack surface in distributed, multi-tenant cloud infrastructures.”  
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | [Josel Lorenzo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/josel/), Axiado’s VP of Products continues,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | “_Open ecosystem design has empowered start-ups such as Axiado to innovate with next generation capabilities previously not possible. Our Smart SCM, powered by TCU and based on the DC-SCM specification, illustrates what’s possible with open collaboration and how it can enhance server security._”
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |  | The OpenPOWER Foundation looks forward to collaborating with Axiado in developing new and exciting security processors for POWER-based platforms through open standards and community driven collaboration.
