`
`LSI Logic announced Tuesday it will buy IBM's Mylex unit to expand its
`storage technologies.
`
`The maker of chips for communications, consumer devices and storage did not disclose
`how much it will pay for the unit. Milpitas, Calif.based LSI said the acquisition, slated
`to close in the quarter ending Sept. 30, is expected to improve its earnings.
`
`The deal will give LSI a system of hardware and software technologies known as
`Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). Mylex engineers and sales staff will
`join LSI as part of the deal. In addition, LSI will gain access to such IBM customers as
`NEC, FujitsuSiemens, Big Blue itself, Xyratex [http://www.xyratex.com] and
`Eurologic [http://www.eurologic.com] .
`
`The RAID technology will bolster LSI's capabilities in areas such as storage area
`network (SAN) systems and storage components, the company said.
`
`LSI added that IBM's technology will help it gain new customers in tight economic
`times.

`
`Storage systems are "proving to be the most cost effective and flexible solutions to meet
`growing customer storage needs under tight IT budget constraints," Tom Georgens,
`executive vice president of LSI's SAN Systems division, said in a statement. "This
`acquisition strengthens our position in this fastgrowing segment."
`
`IBM will continue to compete in the storage market with other technologies, including
`its muchhyped Millipede [http://www.cnet.com/21001001934815.html] project.
`
`This isn't the first time IBM and LSI have teamed up. The companies formed

`which IBM licensed some of LSI's chip architecture.
