| Kameleon Security is a semiconductor startup with an advanced hardware approach to computing system cybersecurity. It developed the first proactive Security Processing Unit (ProSPU) to enforce security throughout a system’s lifecycle, targeting data centers, managed computers, servers, and cloud computing systems. | Corporate Round / Jul 21, 2021 | ||
| Xsight Labs is an Israeli company that develops technology for accelerating the next-generation, cloud-based, data-intensive workloads such as machine learning by offering new chipset designs that enhance scalability, performance and efficiency. | Series D / Mar 03, 2021 | ||
| Today’s explosive data growth and rapidly expanding application workloads threaten to overwhelm datacenters, preventing organizations from harnessing AI/ML, 5G, big data analytics, IoT, and other modern applications they need to achieve their business goals.Accelerating these data-hungry, storage-intensive applications requires moreapplication speed, storage capacity, data efficiency, and scalability than most organizations can afford, no matter how many CPUs and SSDs they add, or how much they expand their datacenter footprint.Just as GPUs overcome processing inefficiencies to accelerate artificial intelligence and advanced analytics performance, the breakthrough Pliops Extreme Data Processor (XDP) overcomes storage inefficiencies to massively accelerate performance and dramatically reduce overall infrastructure costs for databases, analytics, and machine learning. Delivered on an easy-to-deploy, low-profile PCIe card, the Pliops XDP radically simplifies the way data is processed and flash storage is managed.The result is an exponential increase in performance, reliability, capacity, and efficiency— multiplying the effectiveness of organizations’ infrastructure investments. | $65M / Series C / Feb 24, 2021 | ||
