Xsigo raises funds for wireless data centers
Xsigo, maker of a device that virtualizes network connections in data centers, has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from North Bridge Venture Partners, Greylock Partners, Khosla Ventures and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, among others. The San Jose, Calif. company says its technology can drastically reduce the number of wires running through server farms.
Xsigo says the new money will be used to grow its sales and marketing organization. It already has 35 customers and hopes to pull in more with the promise that its technology can be adapted for any data center, no matter what operating system, networking standards or vendors it uses.
