Barefoot Networks was founded in 2013 in Santa Clara, California, as a startup focused on programmable Ethernet switching silicon and related software for data-center networks. The goal was to provide customizable, high-throughput capabilities for large-scale networking environments. It is described as a mid-sized company operating in the computer networking products industry. In 2019, Intel acquired Barefoot Networks and incorporated it into its Data Center Group, with the business functioning as a division within Intel.
