KFAR SAVA, Israel, Jan. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom Ltd.
(NASDAQ: SILC) today announced that a leading global ISP
(Internet Service Provider) has selected a Silicom FPGA-based Smart
NIC for deployment in its data centers throughout the world.
The Silicom dual port 100G Smart
NIC demonstrates an ultra-small
footprint-to-throughput ratio and uses the Silicom unique
Packet Mover technology, a feature which will enable the customer
to easily integrate its own FPGA IP into the Silicom FPGA core
framework.
To date, the customer has placed initial purchase orders and
forecasts that its order rate will ramp up gradually to
approximately $4 million per
year.
"We are excited to secure this strategic win for our
cutting-edge FPGA solutions," commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President and CEO. "The
fact that such an important industry leader has selected our FPGA
technology confirms its unique value for Cloud and Service
Providers, enabling us to reach out to the entire Cloud and Service
Provider market with a highly attractive value proposition."
Mr. Orbach continued, "The IP core of our Packet Mover FPGA uses
several layers, some of which are still at the final development
stages. However, with feasibility now proven, we have been
successful in igniting the imagination of this and other target
customers. We continue to invest significantly in developing our
FPGA technology and consider it to be an important long term growth
driver. We believe that this win is an important step forward in
our FPGA strategy that will open doors to new possibilities,
widening the circle of solutions that we can offer our fast-growing
target markets."
