About Flexxon
Flexxon designs and sells industrial NAND flash storage, including SSDs, memory cards and USB drives, aimed at cybersecurity, industrial, medical and automotive customers. Its X-PHY line adds firmware that uses machine learning to look for signs of attack on the drive itself, so protection works below the operating system. The company is based in Singapore, with offices listed in Cupertino, California, Baltimore, Maryland and Hong Kong. Its product range also includes write-once and read-only media, and encrypted USB drives.
Flexxon was founded in 2007 and is based in Singapore. It is listed under AI Accelerators, ASICs, Memory & Storage.

What Flexxon works on
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
Memory & Storage
Memory and storage hold the data that processors work on. Memory such as DRAM is fast and loses its contents when power is removed. Storage such as flash (NAND) is slower, cheaper per bit and keeps data without power.
