About the
Conference Speakers

Cheng Wu is a co-founder and
Chairman at Azuki Systems, responsible for the company’s vision, corporate
strategy and setting the overall direction in the marketplace. Cheng is a
successful serial entrepreneur and well-acclaimed industry veteran, having
founded and led numerous businesses spanning a range of different industries.

Most
recently, Cheng served as Chairman of Acopia Networks which is a leader in
high-performance, intelligent file virtualization solutions. Acopia Networks
announced it agreed to be acquired by F5 Networks for $210M in August,
2007. Cheng founded and became Chairman of Acopia Networks in December,
2001 after leaving Cisco Systems. He joined Cisco Systems in June 2000, through
Cisco’s $5.7B acquisition of ArrowPoint Communications, where he held various
executive positions, including Group VP and General Manager of the Content and
Multiservice Edge Group (CME). CME’s technology focus was to enable the
migration of existing client-server multi-protocol networks toward high value,
multiservice (data, voice, and video) architectures capable of supporting the
next wave of e-business applications and edge services for Enterprise and
service
provider customers.

Prior to
joining Cisco, Cheng founded ArrowPoint Communications, where he served as
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer leading the company to a
successful IPO in April of 2000 with annualized revenues of $250M. Founded in
1997, ArrowPoint provided Web switches and Web network services (WebNS)
software that allowed customers to optimize the use of the Web for e-commerce
and content delivery.

Preceding
Cheng’s time with ArrowPoint, he founded Arris Networks, a Massachusetts based
startup that developed high-density Internet access products that was acquired
by Cascade Communications for $217M in May, 1996.  He later served as
Cascade (now Lucent Technologies) Communications’ Vice President for remote
access engineering.

To highlight
his career in the networking and communications industry - which extends more
than 20 years - Cheng was named to InteractiveWeek Magazine’s “Top 25 Unsung
Heroes of the Internet” list in 2000 and named the Key Industry Player by
Massachusetts Telecom Council in 2002.

In addition
