What Silicon Computers does

Silicon Computers Számítógép Kereskedelmi Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság (Silicon Computers Kft.) is a privately held Hungarian system integrator founded in 1995 as the local representative of Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) and headquartered at 1118 Budapest, Zólyomi út 23. The company has evolved from a small hardware and software distribution operation into a platform-independent system integrator organized around three core service lines: professional digital media systems (broadcast, file-based TV, media streaming, multi-screen, and searchable online archives), high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure for academic and scientific research, and general enterprise IT systems (servers, storage, virtualization, WAN optimization, and next-generation security).

The company delivers full-stack integration services spanning platform-independent design, sizing, implementation, system integration with custom software development, training, and up to 7/24 support. It is an HPE Gold partner following the SGI-HPE acquisition, giving it privileged access to HPE HPC, server, and storage portfolios, and holds ISO 9001 certification since 2002. The technical offering is reinforced by an extensive multi-vendor technology partner ecosystem (including ATEME, Imagine Communications, Haivision, EditShare, Dell EMC, Wowza, Amagi, Palo Alto Networks, and Riverbed, among 25+ others) and complementary R&D activities in bioinformatics, digital image processing, and parallel process optimization.

Silicon Computers generates revenue through project-based system integration services (professional services), recurring technical support and maintenance contracts (managed services, including up to 24/7 support), and training engagements, supplemented by EU-subsidized R&D project funding. Its GTM motion is enterprise field sales targeting Hungarian public-sector and research organizations, with named anchor customers including NIIF Institute, MTA research institutes, the National Meteorological Service, and the GenaGrid bioinformatics consortium. The company is a founding co-owner of Abiomics Europe Kft. (bioinformatics) and, as of 2025, is developing a unified digital methodology for municipal green and tree cadasters under the DIMOP_PLUSZ program.

Core offering

Silicon Computers is a platform-independent system integrator that designs, sizes, implements, and supports complex IT systems combining hardware and software from multiple world-leading vendors. Its three core offerings are professional digital media solutions (broadcast, tapeless TV, media streaming, online media archives), high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure for academic and scientific research, and general enterprise IT systems (servers, storage, virtualization, WAN optimization, cybersecurity). The company delivers full lifecycle services from planning and consulting through implementation, training, and 7/24 support, and conducts proprietary R&D in bioinformatics, digital image processing, and parallel computing.

Product overview

Silicon Computers operates as a systems integrator offering three interconnected core product lines: Digital Media Solutions (covering broadcast production, file-based TV workflows, media streaming, and archiving with multiple specialized sub-products), High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPC servers, storage, interconnects, and software), and Enterprise IT Systems (servers, storage, virtualization, security, and performance management). The portfolio includes both hardware infrastructure and system integration services across Unix/Linux/Windows environments, with complementary R&D activities in bioinformatics and digital image processing.
