In 2015, the company was acquired by Avago Technologies.

History

1979–1999

Emulex was founded in 1978^[5] by Fred B. Cox "as a supplier of data storage products and data communications equipment for the computer industry."^[6] By 1983, Emulex was able to advertise its products as if it were grocery items: a 2-page spread headlined "One stop shopping for VAX users? Emulex, of course" showed 3 paper bags, each with the Emulex name and logo and each holding a large computer board. One bag also said, "Disk Controllers" while the second bag said, "Communication Controllers;" the third said "Tape Controllers."^[7]

In 1992, Emulex spun off what became QLogic.^[8]

Much of Emulex's early market was for Digital Equipment Corporation's VAX and PDP-11 systems.^[9] Computer History Museum's collections include an Emulex disk drive.^[10]

2000 to present

Headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, Emulex employed more than 1,200 people in 2013. In 2000, Emulex acquired Giganet for $645 million,^[11] and in 2013, it acquired Endace, based in New Zealand. On April 21, 2009, Broadcom made a proposal to the Emulex board of directors to buy all existing shares of Emulex for $764 million, or $9.25 per share, a 40% premium over the stock's closing price on April 20, 2009.^[12]^[13] After Emulex's board of directors recommended against the sale, Broadcom increased their offer to $11 per share on June 30, which valued the company at $925 million.^[14] On July 9, 2009, it too was rejected^[15] Broadcom subsequently withdrew its offer.^[16]

In February 2015, Avago Technologies Limited announced it would acquire Emulex for $8 per share, in cash.^[17] Avago, a spinoff of Hewlett Packard, merged with Broadcom in May of that year.^[18]^[19] Avago assumed the Broadcom name.^[17]^[20]
