back to article QLogic looks like it's running on empty

With three straight quarters of revenue declines QLogic still has to articulate a product strategy and start searching for a new CEO, leading to thoughts that the board is looking to sell the business.

    "broadcom ..which has the old emulex biz"

    obviously nowadays it is very confusing who owns who and who is on top :) .

    Avago bought (606M, not 60M) emulex( closed may 16,2015.)

    Avago buying broadcom(37B).( to close may 2016) .

    Then (el reg aug 18 2015 ) Broadcom investors ->ClassAct lawsuit to block the Avago purchase!.

    "QLogic is ready for a merger or an acquisition"

    That must be true, because it certainly isn't ready to continue working the market.
