Sarvega, a start-up based near Chicago, Illinois, attracted $10 million of Series B funding for its XML appliances. Sarvega's solutions are designed to decouple complex XML processing tasks from the application infrastructure and offload them to the network infrastructure. The Series B financing brings the total capital raised to date to over $20 million and introduces new investor InterWest Partners to existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, ComVentures, and KB Partners, who also participated in this round.
CommWorks is using Sarvega's XPE appliances to accelerate XML processing in its global customer support applications infrastructure.

- Sarvega's hardware-based appliance accelerates XML processing, providing higher performance and QoS, regardless of the XML document size or dialect. The Sarvega XPE Switch would reside between originating enterprise applications and the gateways to the applications, services, networks and devices that the originating applications need to deliver information to. Originating applications connect to the switch using their own native version of XML; and the Sarvega XPE uses business rules configured within it to package, secure, and deliver the information to multiple end points.
Sarvega is headed by Dr. Sunil S. Gaitonde, who previously led the second-generation cache engine initiative for Cisco's Content Services Business Unit. He joined Cisco when it acquired Internet Junction, a developer of Internet gateway software, a company that Sunil co-founded.
