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.
