Overview

NetXen, founded in 2002, is a leading provider of high-performance networking and protocol processing solutions. The company stands at the forefront of a major shift in technology in the enterprise datacenter. Blade servers, server consolidation, and the convergence of network fabrics at 10 Gigabit speeds are driving an exponential increase in both data volumes and complexity. Against this backdrop of escalating network processing demands, IT managers must also address the challenge of system power consumption and cooling, and integrating more flexibility into their datacenters. NetXen has a unique solution to address these needs.

In March 2006, we introduced the Intelligent NIC^®, the industry's first programmable, multi-protocol networking solution designed for volume 10GbE markets. The Intelligent NIC silicon and board-level products are ideally suited for enterprises seeking cost-effective, high-performance solutions that alleviate critical IT infrastructure problems while scaling datacenter performance. The patented NetXen chip architecture delivers advanced capabilities for the next generation of server networking, substantially improving datacenter performance and agility.

NetXen was founded by Govind Kizhepat, a chip-design veteran and entrepreneur with a long list of notable accomplishments to his credit. At NetXen Govind has brought together a top-notch team of industry veterans drawn from Broadcom, Conexant, Cisco, HP, IBM, Intel and Sun. Our team is further strengthened with the financial backing of some of world's premier high technology venture capital firms: Accel Partners, Benchmark Capital and Integral Capital Partners.
