With the vigorous development of cloud computing and the strategic advancement of the national "Dongdian West Computing" project, the market demand for high-performance network switching chips is increasing. As the core device of network devices such as switches and routers, network chips are the key to the realization of network protocols and network operating systems. Massive data will be exchanged in the "information superhighway" composed of data center, bearing network and core backbone network through network chips. High bandwidth, high port density, low latency and low power consumption have become the core requirements of network chips.
However, at this stage, the high-end network chip market is still monopolized by overseas enterprises, and there are some problems in the domestic market, such as the lack of independent network chips, the slow development of network architecture, and the blank of customized network operating system, so there is a strong demand for domestic substitution.
In view of the development trend of the industry, Yunhe Zhi. Com focuses on developing world-class high-performance network chips and solutions to help Internet companies, large and medium-sized enterprises and operators build the next generation of new networks.
The founding team of Yunhe Zhi. Com has held senior positions such as global vice president in the top network and chip companies in Silicon Valley, and has more than 20 years of experience, among which the technical leaders have led and completed the streaming and mass production of a number of world-class switch chips. Since its establishment at the end of 2020, Yunhezhi.com has attracted a large number of high-end talents from well-known enterprises at home and abroad, such as Intel, Microsoft, Broadcom, Cisco, Hisilicon and ZTE, and established a complete high-end chip R&D team. With the team's forward-looking knowledge in chip architecture design and rich accumulation in network chip research and development, Yunhe Zhi. Com customizes flexible and high-speed architecture design scheme for domestic users, shortens the development cycle, iterates quickly and exceeds the international advanced level in an all-round way.
Chen, CEO and managing partner of Songhai Capital, said: "The network switching chip is one of the most important chips in the data center. Under the background of the digital age, the rapid growth of data centers also provides a solid foundation for the development of network switching chips. The technical barriers of network switching chips are extremely high, and there is an urgent need for competitive network switching chip enterprises in the global market in China. Cloud and it. With the first-class R&D and marketing team in China, com will have the opportunity to become the leading enterprise of network switching chips in China and even in the world. As a private equity investment institution with deep-rooted hard technology industry and deep industrial resources, Songhai Capital has rich industrial experience and investment layout in data centers, semiconductors and other related fields, and will continue to support the long-term development of Yunhe Zhi. "
Chaos Investment said: "We believe that under the background of national digital construction, the data center infrastructure will benefit first, and the switch is the core network equipment of the data center. The switch chip industry has long been monopolized by overseas manufacturers, and domestic cloud service manufacturers urgently need independent and controllable products to break the pattern. The switch chip of Yunhe Zhi. Com is the key to solve the pain point. Cloud and team have rich experience, profound technical background and complete team structure in the field of network chips. We believe that the company can use its own advantages and international vision to fill the gap of domestic manufacturers in the high-end network chip industry. "
Chen Yiqi, general manager of Xiaoshan Development Zone Industrial Fund, said: "Yunhe. Com is a high-tech project introduced from Xiaoshan Development Zone. Cloud and it. Com has a world-class founding team. They not only have an international vision, but also are closely related to the local atmosphere. Data center is the core infrastructure in the future digital age. The powerful R&D capability of cloud and intelligent network in the field of switching chips will surely make great contributions to the digital construction of China. We look forward to the cloud and it. Com in Xiaoshan development zone to achieve greater development! "
Jia Shibo, head of Zhao Zheng Investment Strategy Enterprise Team, said: "In the era of big data, the value of the underlying hardware of data, especially chips, will be revalued, and the chip field directly related to big data will benefit obviously. From the global and China switch and switch chip markets, the switch chips in the market are mainly monopolized by Broadcom and Cisco. Although domestic manufacturers have a high degree of participation in the exchange equipment market in China, the core chip market of domestic high-end network equipment is still mainly occupied by overseas enterprises, and the domestic demand for substitution is very strong. Therefore, the core chip of switch featuring cloud and intelligent network will have a very broad market space. The founder of the company once held an important position in the top network and chip companies in Silicon Valley, with rich experience in technology, research and development, management and entrepreneurship. We are willing to accompany Yunhezhi.com's excellent team to live up to expectations and successfully break the monopoly of foreign manufacturers in the core chip field of high-end network equipment and become an important force in China and the world. "
Ma Jianping, general manager of Zhongguancun Innovation Fund and investment management partner of Qi Hang, said: "With the accelerated iteration of technologies such as 5G, cloud computing and autonomous driving, the data volume of the network will increase exponentially again. As the core technology products of network equipment, network chips and network operating system software will be a huge market with a scale of hundreds of billions of yuan and sustained high-speed growth. Core team members of Yunhe Zhi. Com has world-leading technology research and development strength and business innovation experience in the field of network chips and systems. The company is also one of the important layouts of Zhongguancun Innovation Fund in the field of data center. I hope the cloud crane will make it. On the basis of researching and developing domestic independent network chips, com will deeply cultivate the network industry, establish a domestic autonomous and controllable network ecology, and contribute to improving the overall performance of the national network and the security of the supply chain. "
Jiang Xingwei, managing director of Share Investment, said: "Yunhe Zhiwang is a company that fills the gap in domestic high-end network switching chips. This field is quite difficult and has been dominated by American companies such as Broadcom. Yunhezhi.com has a very strong team background, which can be said to be the only team in China that can develop domestic chips. We believe that with the construction of data center, the demand for domestic substitution of domestic high-end network switching chips will become stronger and stronger. Yunhezhi.com is expected to break the monopoly of foreign capital in the future and become a unicorn in the field of domestic high-end network switching chips, sharing investment. We will also fully support the development of the enterprise. "
Gaihua Capital said: "The data center is the key track in the digital age, and the switch chip developed by Yunhezhi. Com is one of the most important logic chips in the data center, and the ceiling of the industry is extremely high. The core members of the team have worked in leading international enterprises in the industry for many years, with successful precedents, international vision and understanding of localization needs. We believe that such an established team can successfully launch high-end switch chips independently developed and contribute to the digitalization and network ecology of China, with great potential for future development. "
Xu Kai, executive director of Qianhai Parent Fund and Smart Internet Industry Fund, said: "Yunhe Zhi. Com is a well-known team with high standards, international vision and localization practice, and has proven innovation and entrepreneurial ability. After the last round of investment, the development momentum of Yunhe was gratifying, and the team expansion and R&D progress exceeded expectations. We are optimistic that the company will become the top supplier of high-end Ethernet switching chips in China. "
