“We are excited to achieve this significant initial penetration of the strategic Chinese market,” commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom’s President and CEO. “China’s rapid growth represents a huge new opportunity for Silicom, especially the fact that its server usage is growing in step with the phenomenal development of its telecom, transportation, banking and other sectors. In fact, according to CCID Consulting, more than half a million x86 servers were sold in China in 2007, with additional strong growth projected for 2008.

Beyond its potential to generate repeat orders over time, this order demonstrates our ability to achieve significant sales in China, paving the way for success with the market’s many additional vendors. As such, we believe the Chinese server market could become a strong new driver of our long-term growth.”
