Pensando
CEO: Prem Jain
Pensando aims to help companies take on Amazon Web Services with a custom, programmable P4 processor that delivers edge services at scale with low-power requirements.
The Milpitas, Calif.-based startup announced in November that it had received an investment from Qualcomm Ventures after raising a $145 million Series C round last year led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Pensando also has the backing of former Cisco CEO John Chambers, who is the chairman of the company’s board.
The company over the summer announced that its Pensando Distributed Services Platform is available on HPE servers as a factory-requested option as part of its strategic OEM relationship with the IT giant.
