Chelsio is a privately-held company with a headquarters in Sunnyvale, California and a design center in Bangalore, India. It has gained recognition as a market and technology leader, particularly in the convergence of networking, storage, and clustering traffic over high-speed Ethernet. With the rise of massive data centers, the need for more compact equipment density and lower power consumption has become increasingly crucial. Simultaneously, the surge in cloud computing and server virtualization has created a demand for more uniform designs than traditional data-center architectures can offer. Chelsio has established itself with its proven Terminator ASIC technology, featured in over 200 OEM platforms, and the successful deployment of more than 1.1 million ports, enabling unified wire solutions for LAN, SAN, and cluster traffic. The company's unique capability to fully offload TCP, iSCSI, and iWARP protocols on a single chip with its adapter cards unburdens communications responsibilities and processing overhead from servers and storage systems, resulting in a substantial increase in application performance. Moreover, Chelsio has elevated its unified wire technology to the next level with full offload for TCP, UDP, iSCSI, iWARP, and FCoE with its sixth generation T6 technology. As network convergence over 10Gb and now 100Gb with T6 Ethernet becomes a reality, Chelsio is at the forefront of driving this consolidation. In November 16, 2009, Chelsio received a significant $17.00M Series F investment from a consortium of notable investors including New Enterprise Associates, Mobile Internet Capital, Horizon Ventures, Invesco, Investor Growth Capital, Abacus Capital Group, Vedanta Capital, Pacesetter Capital Group, LSI Logic, NTT Finance. In summary, Chelsio Communications stands as a leading force in enabling network convergence and offloading communication responsibilities, with a strong track record in deploying its technology across numerous OEM platforms and securing substantial investments from prominent firms.
