Eindhoven-based startup Astrape Networks has raised €7.9 million in seed funding, including a €2.5 million grant from the EIC, to improve short-distance data network performance. Founded in 2022 by alumni from Eindhoven University of Technology, their technology integrates optical and electronic switching to increase network traffic management by 50% while reducing server use and energy consumption by 60%. As the data center market grows, driven by cloud computing and AI, Astrape aims to enhance sustainability and data efficiency amidst rising demands.
The explosive growth of AI and HPC applications has pushed datacenters to their limits. Our network solutions optimise server-to-server communication and load balancing, dramatically improving datacenter efficiency and sustainability.
Astrape is solving one of the most urgent bottlenecks in the AI revolution: the data traffic jams crippling modern data centers. Their solution not only boosts performance but also slashes energy consumption - significantly reducing the carbon footprint of AI infrastructure at scale.
