AI
INFRASTRUCTURE
AI is the fastest-growing hardware category of this decade. Every hyperscaler, AI startup, and sovereign-AI program is racing to deploy custom accelerator hardware — and all of them need the same thing: high-performance silicon and systems that work, delivered on time.
Sion specializes in the AI-adjacent hardware that powers this wave — NIC / DPU chips, accelerator cards, CXL platforms, memory expanders, firmware, and the interconnect subsystems that turn AI compute into AI infrastructure.
AI infrastructure startups (Series B+), hyperscaler Tier-2 suppliers, sovereign-AI programs, and AI systems OEMs building differentiated accelerator hardware.

MEMORY
Enterprise storage is being reshaped by CXL memory, computational storage, and the post-Marvell/Phison second-source opportunity. Mid-tier OEMs need specialist partners who can deliver complete controller hardware without the Tier-1 price tag or the boutique execution risk.
Sion's storage practice is anchored by proven PCIe, DDR, and NAND-interface expertise — built on a decade of silicon, board, and firmware delivery in the storage segment.
Enterprise SSD OEMs, CXL memory vendors, computational-storage startups, hyperscaler storage teams, and Tier-2 storage hardware challengers.

Connectivity
The simultaneous rollout of 400G/800G Ethernet, PCIe Gen6, and CXL 3.0 is creating unprecedented demand for SerDes and interconnect expertise — the #1 scarce skill in global hardware today. Tier-2 OEMs are bringing derivative switch, NIC, and SmartNIC hardware to market faster than incumbents can serve.
Sion's networking practice combines a decade of PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet FPGA credentials with production-proven silicon, board, and firmware expertise — delivered as complete hardware solutions.
Networking OEMs (Tier-2), SmartNIC vendors, switch ASIC challengers, automotive-Ethernet hardware teams, and regional silicon programs across EU and India.

Conversion
Your product is shipping on FPGA. Volumes are scaling. BOM cost is becoming the limit. The natural next step is converting proven RTL into a cost-optimized, power-efficient ASIC — with a matching production-ready board and firmware — without touching the architecture that your customers already trust.
Sion has deep experience converting FPGA designs (Xilinx / Altera / Intel) running PCIe Gen4, DDR4, Ethernet, and custom high-speed logic into production hardware solutions at 16nm, 12nm, and 7nm.
Systems OEMs with proven FPGA products shipping 10K+ units/year who want to reduce BOM by 40–60% and power by 50–70%.
