InfiniCon Secures $15 Million for its 10 Gbps Fabric Designs

InfiniCon Systems, a start-up based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, secured an additional $15 million in series C funding for its shared I/O and switching solutions for next-generation server networks. InfiniCon's designs are based on the InfiniBand Architecture. InfiniCon's InfinIO 3000 Switch Series, which targets the requirements of scalable HPC and database clustering environments, packs thirty-two 10 Gbps InfiniBand ports into 1U of rack space. InfiniCon also features an InfiniBand switching "Ports on Demand (POD)" technology that lets users pay for InfiniBand fabrics as they scale them. InfiniCon's Series C funding raises the total investment in the company to $48 million. The funding round was led by Bay Partners and included investors from prior rounds - ARCH Venture Partners, W Capital Partners, and A.G. Edwards Capital - as well as new investors, including Chevron Technology Ventures LLC.
