Xsight
Labs, a fabless semiconductor startup company, coming out of stealth,
today announced a bold vision to rearchitect the foundation of cloud
infrastructure by delivering a broad portfolio of products that enable
end-to-end connectivity.
Cloud
infrastructure is evolving rapidly with the introduction of a broad
range of xPUs, storage, and ML/AI accelerators. Xsight Labs is
developing a portfolio of products that will drive the seamless adoption
of these innovative technologies. Xsight Labs' technology will help
Cloud Service Providers accelerate their innovation velocity by
maximizing the use of these added resources without additional overhead.
In
addition, Xsight Labs also announced the sampling availability of X1 -
the industry's first and lowest-power 25.6T 32 x 800G and 12.8T 32 x
400G data center switch with 100G PAM4 SerDes - Xsight Labs stated it
has multiple products in development for the next generation of cloud
service providers and hyperscale data center networks, enabling feature
velocity and exponential growth in bandwidth, while lowering power and
total cost of ownership.
"We
are extremely proud of the strong legacy of our team, which has
developed and productized multiple generations of cloud infrastructure
products," said Guy Koren, Co-Founder and CEO of Xsight Labs. "Building
on this strong foundation, the team has successfully executed on a
unique new data center switch architecture, delivering unmatched
performance with remarkably low power, and this is just the tip of the
iceberg."
Xsight
Labs, founded in 2017, is backed by a strong ecosystem of investors and
strategic partners and has raised $116 million to date from Intel
Capital, Microsoft M12, Xilinx, Battery Ventures, Valor Equity Partners,
Atreides Management and others.
Xsight
Labs' founding investor, Avigdor Willenz, previously founded Galileo
Technology, which was the pioneer of the merchant silicon switch
business in the mid-1990s. Galileo Technology was acquired by Marvell in
January 2001 for $2.7B. His other successful ventures and lead
investments include Annapurna Labs, acquired by Amazon in January 2015;
Leaba Semiconductor, sold to Cisco in March 2016; and Habana Labs,
acquired by Intel in December 2019.
"Xsight
Labs has assembled a world-class engineering team, with the goal of
enabling next-generation data center end-to-end interconnects that drive
new paradigms of scale and efficiency," Willenz said. "The sampling of
X1 is the first step towards realizing this ambitious vision, and I am
extremely happy to be part of this journey with the team."
Other
founding members of Xsight Labs include CEO Guy Koren, CTO Gal Malach
and Switch GM Erez Shaizaf, all formerly with EZchip, which was acquired
by Mellanox in September 2015. Collectively, they have delivered
successful architectures and a portfolio of products that power multiple
generations of carrier-class switching and routing networks.
