Tarari is a leader in the emerging market for XML acceleration. The startup has developed an FPGA-based board that can be configured for XML parsing and grammar analysis at speeds of up to 2 Gbits/s.

The flexible FPGA approach helped Tarari ship its first hardware nearly two years ago, and it has been fine-tuning its algorithms since. The company plans to convert its FPGA into an ASIC in the first quarter of 2005, improving performance and reducing cost.

The startup showed a Zapthink study estimating XML makes up 10 percent of network traffic today-and that could hit 40 percent by ’08.
