Data center infrastructure startup CIMware has raised $2.3 million in its first funding round, led by Transition VC.
The money will be used to develop a smart networking switch for the market, hire a software team, and cover daily business costs.
“We are essentially coming up with a different kind of technology that helps all the server CPUs connect,” Ganth said. “We unite them through memory…which is the basic unit for any computing engine.”
“We will initially produce a maximum of 80 to 100 units of CIMs (composable infrastructure module), and later, based on demand, we will manufacture thousands of switches,” he added.
“All over the world, there is huge demand for cloud infrastructure, with America being number one when it comes to technological implementation and innovation. Our initial focus will be on the US, UK, Japan, and South Korea. We will start our sales initiatives in these four countries in about six months,” Ganth said.
Shoeb Ali, co-founder and managing partner of Transition VC said, “Data centres have become increasingly power and energy hungry due to the rising demand for artificial intelligence and data-intensive applications. They face challenges related to physical space, power supply, and outdated infrastructure.”
CIMware was founded in 2022 by Rajiv Ganth and is based in Bengaluru. The company is working on a modular infrastructure switch that combines computing, storage, and networking in one rack.
This technology is designed for data centers that power cloud services, video streaming, social media, and other similar platforms.
CIMware, a deep tech company, also plans to improve its product design and technology. It will focus on faster setup and full support for everything from computing to storage.
The company will mainly sell directly in India and the US. It is also working with partners and distributors in the US and Europe. Over the next two years, CIMware wants to grow in areas like AI-powered data centers, telecom networks, and enterprise cloud systems.
