Solarflare Signs Distribution Deal with El-Gev Electronics

Agreement enables OEMs to build standards-compliant 10 Gigabit Ethernet solutions

Irvine, CA - October 27, 2008

Solarflare Communications, the leading provider of standards-compliant 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) silicon, today announced it has signed a value-added distribution agreement with El-Gev Electronics in Israel. Under the terms of the deal, El-Gev Electronics will be in charge of pre- and post-sales activity, as well as technical support of Solarflare’s 10GBASE-T PHY and 10GbE controller products for OEMs building 10GbE data center and enterprise solutions.

Solarflare designs and develops the highest-performing, lowest-power, standards-compliant 10GbE controllers and 10GBASE-T transceivers. The Solarstorm® Ethernet controller consumes less than 2.2 watts at full line-rate performance, delivering optimal balance and power efficiency. Solarflare’s 10Xpress® 10GBASE-T PHY supports distances of greater than 100 meters on UTP Category 6A cabling, 100 meters on STP Category 6, 55 meters on UTP Category 6 and 45 meters on UTP Category 5E cabling. When combined on a server adapter, Solarflare’s PHY and controller deliver 10 times the performance of a 1 Gigabit NIC at half the power consumption of previous 10GbE server adapters.
