Axiado has secured more than $100 million in financing to fund the development of its hardware-based data center security platform.

The California-based vendor raised the cash in a Series C+ funding round led by Maverick Silicon with participation from Prosperity7 Ventures, Orbit Venture Partners, Crosslink Capital, Nosterra Ventures and others.

It will fund the growth of the company’s platform security, system management, and energy efficiency for AI data centers, networking, telecoms vendors, and Edge deployments.

Axiado’s Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) combines secure control, compute, and AI-driven monitoring within a single chip. The TCU’s continuous sensing, processing, and autonomous action capabilities provide the foundation required for intelligent, secure, resilient, and efficient self-managing systems in next-generation cloud and data center infrastructures.

“The strong response to our Series C+ round is a clear validation from our customers and partners that AI-driven, hardware-anchored security is now a foundational requirement for today’s data centers,” said Gopi Sirineni, founder, president and CEO of Axiado.

Axiado plans to expand its sales, marketing, and support teams, as well as “to invest in the development of next-generation platforms.” Details of the funding round were revealed earlier this month.

“As AI workloads continue to transform and push the limits of data center infrastructure, the need for hardware-anchored security has never been greater,” said Andrew Homan, managing partner at Maverick Silicon. “Axiado’s TCU not only protects infrastructure from threats in real time but also helps optimize power and cooling. We’re proud to support their mission to build secure, intelligent, and sustainable, AI-ready computing environments.”
