KFAR SAVA, Israel – June 10, 2004 – Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ:SILCF) today announced that it has delivered advanced Quad Gigabit Ethernet adapters valued at approximately $140,000 to a provider of high-performance cluster-based computing solutions.

Silicom’s Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet solution features four 1000/100/10 ports on a single high-performance card to extend the functionality of each PCI-X slot. Taking advantage of this feature, customers are able to use fewer and/or smaller servers to achieve a high-performance, fully-redundant solution, resulting in lower system cost and complexity. The card’s checksum and TCP segmentation offload capabilities contribute an additional performance boost, helping servers maximize throughput in data-heavy, high-traffic environments.
