Woven Ethernet Fabric Switch Products

The Woven Systems EFX 1000 Ethernet Fabric Switch is the first of a new class of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) switches that is setting a new standard for next generation multi-core servers, server consolidation and virtualization, IP storage and data center grids. Woven's switches incorporate patented technology, implemented in Woven's vSCALE(TM) packet processing ASIC, that enables non-blocking multi-path interconnectivity using standard Ethernet protocols.

The Woven Systems TRX 100 Ethernet Switch is a compact, 48-port high-performance managed Ethernet solution designed for top-of-rack server aggregation and virtualization in data centers. When connected as an edge switch to the Woven EFX 1000 Ethernet Fabric Switch, the TRX enables unprecedented scaling and performance for servers connected with GE interfaces.

History

Woven Systems was founded in November 2003 by Dan Maltbie and Bert Tanaka. After years in the industry, Dan and Bert realized there was an opportunity to take advantage of next-generation 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology to finally deliver on the vision of a unified fabric for the data center.

Their experience with high speed switching and traffic management led to a solution that overcomes Ethernet spanning tree limitations. Employing low latency cut-through switching technology, the pair developed switch platforms that can be interconnected to create Layer 2 Ethernet fabrics.

Privately held, Woven Systems has raised $35 million in two rounds of funding.
