“During the quarter, we announced two important Design Wins, one from a long-time Traffic Management customer for 100G Bypass Blades, which positions us to benefit from the mainstream market’s 100G evolution, and the other from a new customer, a fast-growing European cyber security leader. These two Wins demonstrate the strength of our strategy with both existing customers and new customers.”
Mr. Orbach continued, “Also during the quarter, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ADI Engineering, an important part of our strategy to penetrate the ‘cloud.’ As a company with expertise in Intel-based technologies and a broad product range targeting the SDN, NFV, IoT, Cloud computing and Virtualization trends, ADI will help us offer exciting new products for Cloud, NFV and SDN players. This will enable us to expand our addressable markets significantly and to secure our technology leadership.”
