The company’s connectivity solutions are at the heart of major AI platforms deployed worldwide featuring both commercially available Graphic processing Units (GPUs) and proprietary AI accelerators. The company offers its customers four product families across multiple form factors, including ICs, boards, and modules, shipping millions of devices across all of the major hyperscalers. The company’s products, which include
Aries PCIe/CXL Smart DSP Retimers
,
Aries PCIe/CXL Smart Cable Modules
,
Taurus Ethernet Smart Cable Modules
,
Leo CXL Memory Connectivity Controllers
, and
Scorpio Smart Fabric Switches
are built upon industry standard connectivity protocols, such as peripherals Component Interconnect Express (PCIe), Ethernet, and Computer Express Link (CXL) to address the growing demand for purpose-built connectivity solutions that solve critical data, network, and memory bottlenecks inherent in cloud and AI infrastructure.
The company offers four revenue-generating product families across multiple form factors, including ICs, boards, and modules that are built upon our software-defined IC architecture. Additionally, the company has developed a software suite, which is embedded in its connectivity products and integrated into its customers’ systems.
Aries PCIe/CXL Smart DSP Retimers and Aries PCIe/CXL Smart Cable Modules
The company’s
Aries
products, which include its
COSMOS
software suite, are essential to enable higher PCIe/CXL data bandwidth and lower latency interconnectivity between various heterogeneous compute processors, storage, and network controllers.
Aries
digitally recovers degraded high-speed signals and retransmits a clean copy of the data, thereby extending the reach of existing interconnects, while enabling higher data bandwidth.
Aries Smart Cable Modules
are highly integrated systems consisting of the
Aries PCIe Smart Retimer
integrated circuit (IC) and peripheral components assembled on multiple form factors. The paddle card module is designed to be integrated into active electrical cable (AEC) assemblies supporting a variety of applications, such as straight cables and breakout cables.
Taurus Ethernet Smart Cable Modules
The company’s
Taurus
products are hardware modules based on its
Taurus ICs
that increases network connectivity bandwidth between servers and switches over copper media.
Taurus
modules incorporate the company’s
COSMOS
software suite and extend Ethernet signaling reach at higher data rates, providing cost-effective, rack-level network connectivity for cloud and AI infrastructure, removing rack- level Ethernet connectivity bottlenecks.
Leo CXL Memory Connectivity Controllers
The company’s
Leo
products allow its customers to overcome processor memory bandwidth bottlenecks and capacity limitations, while leveraging its
COSMOS
software suite’s built-in memory management and deep diagnostic capabilities.
Leo ICs
and boards enable expanding, sharing, and pooling of industry standard DRAM memory over high-speed serial links to support memory- intensive workloads running on AI accelerators and CPUs.
Scorpio Smart Fabric Switches
The company’s
Scorpio
products are purpose-built to enable its hyperscaler customers to deploy AI platforms at rapid pace and scale by improving energy efficiency, optimizing performance per watt, increasing AI accelerator utilization, reducing time to market, and maximizing uptime with its
COSMOS
software suite.
Scorpio P-Series
for PCIe Gen 6.0 connectivity is architected to support mixed traffic head-node connectivity across a diverse ecosystem of PCIe hosts and endpoints.
Scorpio X-Series
for GPU clustering is designed to deliver back-end GPU-to-GPU bandwidth with platform specific customization.
The company’s
COSMOS
software suite is foundational to its
Intelligent Connectivity Platform
.
COSMOS
is designed to enable the company’s hyperscaler customers to seamlessly configure, manage, monitor, optimize, troubleshoot, and customize functions in its IC, board, and module products.
COSMOS
has a software component that operates on the company’s customers’ operating systems, and interfaces with other
COSMOS
software components running on microcontrollers integrated into its ICs, boards, and modules.
The company’s software suite provides three distinct capabilities to its customers which include
Link Management
,
Fleet Management
, and
Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS)
.
The company’s customers include major hyperscalers, leading AI accelerator vendors (including GPU vendors), and system OEMs.
The company engages with its customers and data center infrastructure suppliers through its
Interop Lab
, where industry participants work together to establish compatibility, and stress-test products early in their product development process and prior to large-scale deployments.
The company sells its products directly to its customers and through distributors. The company’s distributors are primarily focused on fulfillment and logistical purposes, rather than selling, marketing, or providing technical support for its products. The company’s customers are closely involved in the design and often dictate the sourcing decisions for the systems that incorporate its products. They often engage third party contract manufacturers and design partners to manufacture their systems.
The company focuses its sales and marketing efforts on hyperscalers, leading AI accelerator vendors, and system OEMs. The universe of available end customers in the company’s industry is small and concentrated, and as a result, it is very important to its success that the company maintain strong and collaborative relationships with the end customers in its industry. For example, in 2024, the company’s top three end customers represented an aggregate of approximately 80% of its revenue. The company’s arrangements with its customers are typically affected via purchase orders for specific products. These purchase orders dictate the material terms of the arrangement, such as purchase price, purchase quantity, delivery date, and delivery destination.
The company primarily sells its products to distributors and its end customers’ manufacturing partners, who are primarily located in North America and Asia. Once sold, the company’s products are typically incorporated into hyperscaler, leading AI accelerator vendor, and OEM systems. These systems are deployed in data center infrastructure around the world. Because of the global deployment of the company’s products, it maintains a field applications engineering (FAE) team, which provides customers with on-site technical resources as required. The company’s FAE teams are located near customer research and development sites in North America, Asia, and Israel. The company’s field teams are internally supported by product applications engineers, marketing, and business development teams in North America, Asia, and Israel.
Manufacturing and Suppliers
The company uses third parties to manufacture its products which include ICs, boards, and modules. The manufacturing process is subject to extensive testing and verification. The company uses a fabless manufacturing model and partners with TSMC to fabricate all of its ICs. The company uses Advanced Semiconductor Engineering and Amkor Technologies to assemble, package, and test its ICs. The company also relies on a small, limited number of other manufacturing partners for its modules, boards, and IC substrates.
