Ayar Labs
CEO: Charlie Wuischpard
Led by former Intel executive Charlie Wuischpard, Ayar Labs aims to solve data center bottlenecks in throughput and power with high-speed, high-density, low-power optical-based interconnect chiplets to replace traditional I/O components.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based startup announced in November that it had raised a $35 million Series B funding round from several investors, including Globalfoundries and Intel Capital.
The company claims that its technology, which moves data using light instead of electricity, can drive an improvement of 1,000 times the interconnect bandwidth density at 10 times less power.
