DELIVERS GIGABIT ETHERNET ADAPTERS FOR
INTEGRATION INTO CUTTING-EDGE SERVER CLUSTERS
Awareness Of Silicoms High Performance Server Adapters Continues to Build
KFAR SAVA, Israel June 10, 2004 Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ:SILCF) today announced that it has delivered advanced Quad Gigabit Ethernet adapters valued at approximately $140,000 to a provider of high-performance cluster-based computing solutions. The customer will use Silicoms adapters to improve server throughput and performance in its LINUX-based server cluster solution for a High Performance Computing application.
Silicoms Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet solution features four 1000/100/10 ports on a single high-performance card to extend the functionality of each PCI-X slot. Taking advantage of this feature, customers are able to use fewer and/or smaller servers to achieve a high-performance, fully-redundant solution, resulting in lower system cost and complexity. The cards checksum and TCP segmentation offload capabilities contribute an additional performance boost, helping servers maximize throughput in data-heavy, high-traffic environments.
We are delighted that this Server Cluster innovator has chosen our Quad Gigabit adapters to push the envelope of their server performance, said Shaike Orbach, Silicoms President and CEO. The order and its following delivery demonstrate the market traction that has begun to build for our high-performance server adapter solutions. We continue to feel increased interest in all our Gigabit Ethernet solutions as an effective way to increase the throughput and performance of many types of high-end computing applications. Encouraged by the growing number of design wins and initial orders for our new product line, we continue to believe that this line of products will become Silicoms future growth driver.
