Upon close, the addition of Barefoot Networks will support Intel's focus on end-to-end cloud networking and infrastructure leadership. Based in Santa Clara, California, Barefoot Networks will add expertise in cloud network architectures, P4-programmable high-speed data paths, switch silicon development, P4 compilers, driver software, network telemetry and computational networking.

Intel expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2019.
