SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Astera Labs, a pioneer in purpose-built connectivity solutions for intelligent and accelerated systems, today announced its showcase of Compute Express Link^TM (CXL^TM) innovation at OCP Global Summit in Booth B11. Astera Labs will demonstrate how data center operators can improve performance and reduce TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) with its CXL, PCIe® 5.0, and Ethernet Connectivity solutions.

“Astera Labs has officially moved CXL beyond promise to reality with real silicon running real workloads on real customer platforms that are ready for real-world deployment,” said Sanjay Gajendra, CBO, Astera Labs. “We are excited to join OCP Global Summit with our partners as we innovate together to display the performance capabilities of our Leo Memory Connectivity Platform and Aries Smart Retimers that are solving memory and data connectivity bottlenecks in the data center today.”

Astera Labs’ Leo Memory Connectivity Platform for CXL 1.1 and 2.0 is in pre-production sampling with strategic partners and customers and it is ready for deployment in cloud servers. Aries PCIe 5.0/CXL Smart Retimers are the industry’s most broadly deployed retimers and they have passed rigorous interoperability testing with all major PCIe endpoints, allowing customers to reduce development time and effort.
