“We are excited by the continuously growing momentum of our multi-port Gigabit Ethernet server adapter business,” said Mr. Shaike Orbach, President and CEO of Silicom. “The strategic importance of our success in the high-growth Security Appliance sector, one of our first target markets, is illustrated by last month’s Design Win with a Tier 1 security industry player, which has already resulted in $660,000 of orders, most of which has already been delivered.
