Korea-based semiconductor design specialist CoAsia announced on the 26th that it has secured a project to develop a network switch for data centers from India's CIMware.

CIMware is a deep-tech startup recognized by the Department of Telecommunications of the Indian government, specializing in data center engineering and next-generation Top-of-the-Rack (ToR) smart network switches.

With the rising demand for rapid and extensive data processing in data centers, CIMware plans to develop a PCIe NTB (Non-Transparent Bridge)-based network switch to deliver industry-leading performance and energy efficiency through its Composable Infrastructure Module (CIM).

CIM is a modular infrastructure designed to improve data center performance and efficiency while significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

CoAsia secured this project through close collaboration with India’s Semiconductor Fabless Accelerator Lab (SFAL), successfully identifying and partnering with local fabless companies in India.

Recently, the Indian government has introduced aggressive support measures to foster the semiconductor industry, including funding for semiconductor plant construction. As a result, global semiconductor giants such as Samsung Electronics, TSMC, NXP, and Micron are expanding their investments in R&D, production, and packaging facilities in India.
