Broadcom buys 10 GbE chip maker
Broadcom has snapped up Siliquent Technologies, a Tel Aviv, Israel based company that makes 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network interface controllers (NICs) for servers, storage and local networks. Gartner Dataquest predicts that 10GbE technology will begin its volume ramp in servers beginning in 2007.
