KFAR SAVA, Israel, May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicom
Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC) today announced that it has launched
its powerful new Edge Computing platform based on the
Intel® Xeon-D (D2100) processor.
Targeted for the needs of Cloud and Communication Service
Providers (CoSP), the new platform is optimized for Edge
Computing services including uCPE (Universal Customer Premises
Equipment), Cloud Edge, 5G Distributed Unit (DU), and IoT Gateways.
Intel has verified Silicom's new platform as an Intel®
Select Solution for uCPE in both 'Basic' and 'Plus'
configurations and optimized on Ubuntu as the operating system,
after rigorous benchmark testing to confirm its features,
functionality, security and performance.
"We have designed our Edge Computing Platform to be a
'hand-in-glove' fit for Cloud players and CoSPs transitioning their
networks to the virtualized paradigm," commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President and CEO. "Our
platform enables next-generation services that will aggregate
compute, storage, network and low-latency analytics based on FPGAs.
We believe that this unique combination of capabilities will make
our new Edge Computing platform the preferred choice for the
deployment of future whitebox-based services."
"As an Intel Select Solutions Partner, we look forward to
working closely with Intel in joint go-to-market efforts, and to
continue to build our Select Solutions portfolio, including the
delivery of an Intel® Select Solution for uCPE based on the newly
announced ADVA Ensemble Connector," concluded Mr. Orbach.
Intel Select Solutions are verified hardware and software stacks
that are optimized for specific software workloads across compute,
storage and network. The solutions are developed from Intel's deep
experience with independent software vendors and OEM/ODM industry
partners. To qualify a product as an Intel® Select Solution,
solution providers must replicate or exceed Intel's general
reference benchmark performance thresholds, as well as its
specialized benchmarks for security, encryption and compression
performance, characteristics that are essential for the success of
edge networking use cases.
"Intel Xeon-D processors provide the performance density
critical for the emerging customer-premise edge solutions," said
Renu Navale, senior director of Edge
Services & Industry Enabling at Intel. "Intel Select Solutions
for uCPE will accelerate deployment of these next-generation
platforms and services, and we're pleased to collaborate with
innovators like Silicom to deliver them to customers."

Statements in this press release which are not historical data
are forward-looking statements which involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, or other factors not under the company's
control, which may cause actual results, performance, or
achievements of the company to be materially different from the
results, performance, or other expectations implied by these
forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not
limited to, Silicom's increasing dependence for substantial revenue
growth on a limited number of customers in the evolving
cloud-based, SD-WAN, NFV and Edge markets, the speed and extent to
which solutions are adopted by these markets, likelihood that
Silicom will rely increasingly on customers which provide solutions
in these evolving markets, resulting in an increasing dependence on
a smaller number of larger customers, difficulty in commercializing
and marketing of Silicom's products and services, maintaining and
protecting brand recognition, protection of intellectual property,
competition and other factors detailed in the company's periodic
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such
because the context of the statement will include words, such as
"expects," "should," "believes," "anticipates" or words of similar
