iPronics raises $125M with Nvidia participation to develop optical circuit switch tech
↗
Valencia-based startup iPronics secured $125M in venture capital co-led by Maverick Silicon and Light Street, with Nvidia participating, to develop optical circuit switch technology.
Optical circuit switching is a candidate for reducing the power and latency overhead of electronic switching in large-scale data center interconnects. Nvidia's participation in the round suggests the technology may be evaluated in the context of GPU-heavy infrastructure where interconnect bandwidth is a bottleneck. The available material is thin, only one feed carried the story and no technical specifics were provided, so the practical implications are limited to what the funding and investor composition signal.
