In the HFT platform, time is an essential factor. The products help scale-out capabilities across a number of platforms such as HFT, AI, ML, high-performance computing (HPC), data center, cloud and edge computing as well as service providers. These next generation products include FPGA-based switches, network interface cards (NICs), and picosecond resolution timing technology. Notably, Nvidia NVDA is exploring options to acquire Mellanox.Įxablaze offers the latest Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology embedded with the required flexibility and programmability that suits environments where ultra-low-latency as well as high performance are essential. The collaboration is likely to aid Cisco in augmenting capabilities in next generation switch platforms and create growth opportunities for the emerging AI and ML arenas.Įxablaze’s competitors are Mellanox, Metamako, Solarflare, Moxa and others. Cisco CSCO recently unveiled intentions to acquire Exablaze - an Australia-based manufacturer and designer of advanced network devices.Įxablaze, which will become a part of Cisco’s Nexus switches portfolio, focuses on ultra-low latency networking with particular emphasis on high-frequency trading (HFT).
