Marvell, Microsoft and Oracle establish OCP working group

Oracle: Oracle delivers cloud infrastructure services through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, emphasizing secure and scalable enterprise solutions. It participates in collaborative efforts to enhance security architectures in hyperscale environments. In this development, Oracle joins Marvell and Microsoft in creating a new OCP working group to specify server-level integrated hardware security modules for improved key protection. Marvell: Marvell Technology develops semiconductor solutions for data infrastructure, including switching, interconnects, memory, and security technologies tailored for cloud and AI environments. It is actively contributing to open hardware standards through participation in the Open Compute Project. In this news, Marvell is leading the formation of a new OCP working group alongside Microsoft and Oracle to define specifications for integrated hardware security modules in servers. Microsoft: Microsoft provides cloud computing platforms including Azure, with a focus on infrastructure for enterprise and hyperscale workloads. The company engages in industry collaborations to advance open standards for data center technologies. Here, Microsoft is partnering with Marvell and Oracle to establish an OCP working group that standardizes hardware-based security for cryptographic key management in cloud servers. Cloud Security Focus: The effort targets gaps in traditional key management by ensuring cryptographic keys remain within certified hardware boundaries for cloud and hyperscale data centers. Industry Collaboration: The initiative was highlighted at the OCP Global Summit 2026, where security leaders from the three companies discussed standardizing NIST FIPS 140-3 Level 3 integrated HSM solutions. OCP Security Initiative: Marvell, Microsoft, and Oracle have formed a new working group under the Open Compute Project's Security Track to define open specifications for embedding hardware security modules directly at the server level.
