Pensando Systems
CEO: Prem Jain
Edge cloud startup Pensando Systems is creating a new edge services model of enterprise and cloud computing led by former Cisco stars. Founded in 2017, the Milpitas, Calif.-based startup said in November that it received funding from Qualcomm Ventures that will help the company expand into the 5G and service provider market.
The company, backed by Cisco’s former CEO John Chambers, includes a platform with a custom, programmable P4 processor, dubbed Capri, optimized to execute a software stack delivering cloud, compute, network, storage and security services at cloud scale with minimal latency and low power requirements. Pensando said its software-defined edge services platform can deliver five to nine times improvements in productivity, performance and scale compared with competitive offerings.
