Emulex completes merger with Vixel

Data storage company Emulex Corp. announced it has completed its

acquisition of Vixel Corporation.

Emulex offered $10 per share and merged a wholly owned subsidiary

into Vixel. Vixel shares are no longer listed on the NASDAQ exchange.

Emulex is the top provider of hot bus adapters, sophisticated

devices that help companies manage massive flows of information.

Vixel, based in Bothell, Wash., produced embedded switches, which

increase data storage by allowing more drives to be connected than is

possible with other devices.

“Emulex is now positioned to deliver to ... customers both the

[input/output] silicon traditionally produced by Emulex and the

InSpeed embedded switching solutions supplied by Vixel, including

embedded switch on a chip and root switch products that are core to

next-generation storage architectures,” said Paul Folino, the

company’s chairman and chief executive officer.
