Silicom Ltd. today announced that it has received another design win and initial order for its high-performance multi-port Gigabit Ethernet Server/Storage adapters, the fourth design win accompanied with POs it has announced since November. The new customer, a premier online provider of enterprise-class networking solutions, is using Silicom's dual and quad port Gigabit Ethernet cards to boost the performance of critical high-powered networking applications and multiple network segment environments within high performance servers. In November, Silicom received a significant first order from a top-tier Server Industry manufacturer, marking the successful conclusion of a nearly year-long technology evaluation and qualification process. In December, Silicom received an initial order from a prestigious nuclear research organization, and in late March Silicom announced a design win from Sandvine Inc., a provider of comprehensive Peer-To-Peer Policy Management and Internet Worm-Mitigation solutions. This design win was also followed by initial orders. As a result of these design wins and the accumulating flow of initial orders, sales of the Company's new Server/Storage Connectivity products have begun replacing decreasing legacy product lines as its key sales driver. The Company expects this transition to continue. Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President and CEO, said, "We are delighted that our multi-port Gigabit Ethernet adapters are proving to fill an important gap for many types of customers. Use of our products is an easy way for our new customers to deliver an immediate performance gain to their solutions, while reducing network congestion, simplifying network management, providing the highest server throughput available, and minimizing CPU utilization. The four significant design wins that we have achieved in the last few months each can lead to ongoing sales. We are encouraged by discussions underway with a number of potential customers, which are validating the uniqueness of our products and the wide range of high-powered applications for which they are suited."
