Silicom Announces Significant Development With its Major Cloud Design win: new POs Totaling ~$10m Received From an Additional Tier-1 Server Manufacturer


KFAR SAVA, Israel, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC) today announced that it continues to move forward with the largest-ever Design Win that it reported in March 2017. The top-10 Cloud player which granted Silicom the DW is currently in the process of qualifying an additional Tier-1 server manufacturer as a second subcontractor for building its Cloud infrastructure, and, as part of the process, this server manufacturer is now integrating the Silicom 100-Gigabit-Switch-Fabric-On-A-NIC product into its solution. For the purpose of the qualification effort, and in preparation for expected future demand, this giant manufacturer has already placed purchase orders totaling approximately $10 million for the Silicom product.

"We are very pleased with the continued positive momentum of our biggest ever win ? and also with the potential of our new relationship with this major server manufacturer," commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President & CEO.

"The fact that our Cloud customer has decided to source its server-based solutions from two Tier-1 server suppliers, together with the massive accumulated POs that we have received from both of the customer's subcontractors, speaks volumes regarding the quantity of Cloud infrastructure solutions that it expects to deploy. According to the customer, once all challenges are resolved and the new Cloud infrastructure is made widely available to users, deployment is expected to ramp up to a massive run rate level that will generate much higher revenues to us than the $30 million per year that we originally forecast. In fact, this will hold true even if the customer decides, in line with its general 'second-source' policy, to qualify another vendor to supply the Switch-On-A-NIC product in parallel to Silicom. Accordingly, we now believe that at a full deployment run rate, which is expected to be reached in 2019, our revenues from this DW will exceed $75 million per year."  

Mr. Orbach continued, "At the same time, we are also excited that this project has brought us into a direct relationship with another group within this important server manufacturer. This Tier-1 player represents a double potential for us: 1) it can use our current products in its Cloud offerings to other customers; and 2) we can leverage the relationship into the development of new products and solutions for other market segments. As such, we believe that our Cloud journey has only begun and that it has the power to drive our business to a whole new level."
