ServLogi today announced a multi-year semiconductor program targeting 2030, beginning with a hardware root of trust that the company will design itself rather than source from a component vendor.
The program addresses supply chain assurance. ServLogi already controls its facilities, hardware selection, virtualization software, and management systems. The remaining layer it does not control is the processor, and the root of trust at its foundation is where a compromise would be most difficult to detect and remediate.
The first phase covers threat modeling and root of trust architecture, including key storage, secure startup, and lifecycle management. Verification capabilities are being incorporated from the outset as part of the original specification.
The company noted that the program is long-term and does not affect current services. Customers deploying today continue to run on AMD SEV-SNP hardware, where the processor encrypts workload memory using keys the virtualization software never holds, and where each server produces a signed startup report that customers can verify independently.
We tell our customers that isolation is enforced by the processor rather than by policy. That assurance is only as strong as the processor itself, which today is designed by others. This program is a long-term commitment to closing that gap, and we are beginning that work now.
David Okafor, Chief Technology Officer, ServLogi
Program milestones are published on the ServLogi Silicon page and will be updated as each phase is completed.
