“We are encouraged to receive this strategic order, and delighted that it comes from a prestigious Server Industry manufacturer,” said Shaike Orbach, Silicom’s President and CEO. “A year ago, when we announced our new focus on the Server/Storage industry, we noted that it offered an exceptional long term opportunity, but was characterized by long sales cycles. This first significant order from such a top-tier manufacturer is a breakthrough that validates both our technology and our target market.
