Woven: Stealth, but oh, we’re looking for money

July 7, 2005 | Matt Marshall | Comments | |

woven.jpgLight Reading has the scoop on the latest Silicon Valley networking start-up to emerge, Woven Systems.

The Sunnyvale company apparently maintains it is still in stealth, but it’s got a Web site, and is talking, so we’re not sure how that makes it stealth. Woven is developing a “massively scaleable” 10-Gbit/s switch to compete with InfiniBand, and plans to launch its first product next year. It was founded in late 2003 by some former execs at Caspian Networks, until now self-funded, but apparently now looking to raise a first round.

Good luck: Om Malik says InfiniBand is pretty strong, and that he thinks the market for Woven’s type of product “is pretty limited.”

    Market acceptance of high-end routers is hard to predict. Without competition, the price on the high-end goes astronomical and the features stagnate.
