Composite Software
Invested: 2002

The Composite Information Server makes all enterprise data accessible as if it existed in a single location. Through dashboards and other information applications, business analysts, managers and executives can now obtain complete, real-time views of their business operations - views that can be stored, reused, and combined with other views.

Moreover, the Composite product suite helps lay the foundation for enterprise-wide EII (Enterprise Information Integration) by enabling enterprises to create a "data services" layer which de-couples applications from underlying data sources.

Scintera Networks
Scintera Networks
Invested: 2003

Scintera Networks has developed the Advanced Signal-Processing Platform™ (ASPP™), which will enable very high-speed signal processing at 10 gigabits per second and beyond. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has enabled significant advancements in communication and networking solutions. However, at higher speeds, traditional DSP solutions have not proved to be feasible. Scintera's High-speed ASPP™ enables the most cost-effective, lowest power silicon-based solutions for accelerating high-speed communication and networking system deployment.

Scintera is shipping initial products which incorporate the ASPP™ and are capable of compensating for dispersion and other impairments associated with transmitting 10Gbps over the installed legacy fiber infrastructure, thereby preserving the industry's massive investment while reducing costs by extending the distance over which data can reliably travel.
