FORTUNE-100 MANUFACTURER SELECTS
SILICOM BYPASS ADAPTERS FOR SAN
ACCELERATOR APPLIANCES
KFAR SAVA, Israel – November
28, 2005 – Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ:SILCF) today announced that one of the
world’s largest IT companies has selected Silicom’s BYPASS Gigabit Adapters for
use in its Storage Area Network (SAN)/Data Center data acceleration appliances. The
manufacturer will offer Silicom’s BYPASS adaptors as a configuration option in its
acceleration appliances, answering the market need for “fail-safe” features to
assure data availability even in times of power outage or appliance malfunction.
The
manufacturer expects to begin offering BYPASS-enabled systems commercially in early 2006.
“We are delighted to add one of the world’s largest and most prestigious industry players to our growing list of customers, a testament to the added value and superior cost-performance of our adapters,” said Shaike Orbach, President and CEO of Silicom. “Although the bulk of our Design Wins have come from the security appliance industry, the SAN industry and other rapidly-growing segments are high-potential markets that we have only begun to address.
“As a superb solution for the needs of today’s hot Data Center market, we believe our customer’s data acceleration product will achieve strong sales, translating into incremental revenues for Silicom.”
