Dated: August 16th, 2006
KFAR SAVA, Israel, August 16, 2006 Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: SILC) announced today that it has achieved a new design-win with Trend Micro Incorporated, for Silicoms high-end Fiber Bypass Server adapter.
Silicoms high-end Fiber Bypass Server adapter will be used as an optional fiber card in the Trend Micro Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500 security appliance. Trend Micro has already placed initial production orders for the cards and has integrated Silicoms adapters into its production process.
We are seeing more and more examples of network security solutions which were traditionally implemented as software, now being installed as network appliances, commented Shaike Orbach, CEO of Silicom. This trend has been gaining strong traction over the last few years and appliances are becoming ever-more pervasive. This trend also underpins the growth in our business and we expect it to continue.
Mr. Orbach concluded, This new design-win, with one of the worlds leading security vendors, further validates the superiority of our solutions. Additionally, it further expands and diversifies our global revenue base.
