For years, the industry has operated under the assumption that increasing performance inevitably means increasing power consumption and complexity. We have reached a breaking point where legacy architectures simply cannot scale to meet the demands of modern cloud, telecom, and high-capacity computing.

Today, we are thrilled to officially launch Xsight Accelerate, a program designed to remove these trade-offs. Xsight Accelerate provides a blueprint for high-performance, programmable infrastructure solutions that deliver exponential bandwidth growth while drastically reducing power and total cost of ownership (TCO) and time to market

Overcoming the High Cost of Legacy Development

Modern workloads place an unprecedented strain on data center resources. Legacy systems, often built around power-intensive x86 servers and complex networking layers, are no longer sufficient. In fact, traditional architectures can consume significantly more power than necessary to handle today’s data-heavy tasks. As we look toward the 2026-2030 window, the industry requires a new approach to infrastructure efficiency.

Xsight Labs is meeting this challenge head-on by providing the critical silicon for next-generation environments: the E-Series DPU and the X-Series switch.

Software-Defined Solutions on High-Performance Silicon

Xsight Accelerate is built on the synergy between our X2 Universal Ethernet Switch and the E1 DPU. Our goal is to transform silicon-level performance into a sustainable, solution-level advantage for our partners and customers.

The program focuses on delivering ready-to-deploy solutions defined by three core pillars:

  • Software-Defined Efficiency: Our solutions leverage a 5nm process and optimized power density to deliver world-class processing at a significantly lower power than competitors. For example, the E1 DPU software architecture achieves 800 Gbps performance with a power profile of only 75W (100W TDP).
  • Programmable Freedom: We provide fully programmable data planes, allowing for custom telemetry and new protocols without the need for costly silicon re-spins. The ‘Run-to-Completion’ software architecture gives architects full control over the packet pipeline to support custom headers and stay agile.
  • Accelerated Wire-Rate Performance: Hardware-accelerated fast paths, managed by our software, ensure that security and networking services operate at true line rate, up to 800 Gbps or 12.8 Tbps. This eliminates performance bottlenecks and ‘latency taxes’ while maintaining zero-loss data transport for sensitive workloads.

Driving Faster Time-to-Market

The hallmark of Xsight Accelerate is its focus on execution. We significantly reduce time-to-market by providing a comprehensive suite of ready-to-use software assets to jumpstart each solution. Our 2026 launch cadence includes specialized solutions for Gateways, Network Packet Brokers (NPB), Security Appliances, Storage, AI Switching, Top-of-Rack (ToR) Switching, and more.

To ensure our partners can deploy with confidence and speed, every solution in the Xsight Accelerate portfolio includes:

  • Architectural Blueprints: Detailed frameworks to guide seamless integration.
  • Technical Code: Ready-to-use software assets to jumpstart development.
  • Integrated SONiC Support: Full integration with standard NOS stacks to enable a smooth transition from legacy hardware to open architectures.

We are committed to providing the programmable, power-efficient building blocks required for the next generation of cloud, edge, and infrastructure networks. With Xsight Accelerate, we are ensuring that the future of the data center is built on a foundation of efficiency, agility, and performance.

Come See us at OFC

We are officially kicking off next week at OFC in Los Angeles. If you are attending the show, we would love to talk about how we are turning silicon performance into a sustainable, solution-level advantage.

Stop by booth #5610 or set up a meeting with us to see how Xsight Accelerate will provide solutions for the next generation of AI, edge and cloud infrastructure. If you can’t make it to the show, reach out to connect.
