KFAR SAVA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ:SILC - News)(TASE:SILC) today introduced its latest new product family: patent-pending Silicom SETAC, SErver To Appliance Converter for providers of appliance-based network solutions. The Company also announced that a leading European provider of network security solutions has already committed to buy SETAC units, validating the concept.
Silicom has created the SETAC concept to eliminate the dilemma currently faced by network appliance providers in designing their Network Appliances. Before the SETAC, they were forced to choose between two limited options: 1) the use of a general server with standard add-on adapters, a configuration which assured server-grade reliability and a stable state of the art technology environment but sacrificed flexibility; or 2) the use of specific, appliance-oriented hardware solutions which allowed for superior flexibility and field-re-configurability, but not server-grade reliability and stable technology.
The use of SETAC joins the best of both worlds, enabling branded, high-technology servers to be configured as hardware appliances. This creates an ideal network appliance that combines server-grade reliability, front-end access, field-replaceable architecture and a stable state-of-the-art technology environment – all at a reasonable price. |
