Axalume ^Company

Axalume has developed proprietary technologies that combine silicon photonic circuits with silicon electronics to solve looming interconnect bottlenecks for servers, datacenters, and high-performance computing and networking systems. As a new, fabless semiconductor startup, theirtechnology has been critically evaluated and hailed by commercial, academic, and government institutions. They are on-track to deliver electronic-photonic integrated circuit (EPIC) chipsets to serve future datacenter and cloud computing market segments. Their products will include silicon photonics IP, chipsets, and architecture for transforming Internet data centers to make them faster, lower cost, and more space- and energy-efficient. Their technology will deliver up to a 4.5x improvement in size (density), a 3.5x improvement in energy efficiency, and a 2x improvement in latency versus currently available networking components. Our optical switching chipsets will enable datacenter operators to offer improved, faster, and more secure services to their customers with even higher scalability and efficiency.
