Looks like IOT era started - Chip companies catching up

Broadcom and Qualcomm chipmaking companies has been on a shopping spree....

Broadcom aquired Brocade, specialises in data storage and networking, while Broadcom provides connectivity components, like Wi-Fi chips, to companies like Apple, HTC and LG. The move comes at a time where data centres are increasingly important, thanks to the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) as IoT technology is responsible for connecting regular old objects, like lights, fridges and dishwashers, to the internet. As more appliances become smart, and autonomous cars drive in our near future, greater data storage is needed.

On the other hand Qualcomm aquired NXP Semiconductor for expertise in security, identity and automotive processor components, to complement its mobile, IoT and wireless radio business. It’s a smart move by Qualcomm to help it continue to be a key player in the chip industry, as connected vehicles with increasing amounts of on-board tech, and digital security in general, become areas where more attention and investment is focused.

Broadcom buys Brocade for data centre cloud

The chip industry has been undergoing rapid consolidation as companies try to capture market share, much of it related to connected devices and cars, and Avago/Broadcom has been one of the sector's most prolific acquirers.

The deal, the latest in a consolidating chip sector, will allow Broadcom to corner a larger share of the data center products market by using Brocade's fiber channel switches that speed up data transfer between servers and storage devices.

Singapore-based Broadcom, formerly Avago Technologies, is known for its connectivity chips used in products ranging from mobiles to servers, while California-based Brocade makes networking switches, software and storage products.

The market for IT infrastructure products is expected to expand rapidly. Total spending on cloud infrastructure, including server, storage and ethernet switches, will increase by 15.5 percent to $37.1 billion in 2016, according to research firm IDC.

Broadcom said it planned to sell Brocade's networking business, which makes controllers and access points that help businesses offer high-speed internet to their customers, to avoid competing with its top customers such as Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Intel Corp.

Since taking over the top job at Avago a decade ago, Chief Executive Hock Tan has turned around a small chipmaker into a giant with a market capitalization of $67 billion.

As the chip industry has been undergoing rapid consolidation, the biggest chip deal ever, smartphone chipmaker Qualcomm Inc agreed last week to buy NXP Semiconductors NV for about $38 billion, making it the leading supplier to the fast-growing automotive chips market.

Looking for MS in USA, GRE , TOFEL & US VISA Be Careful ! Learn to write computer programs

Nearly 25 of the 60 students in the program must leave. It is because they were unable to write computer programs, a necessary part of the curriculum and a skill that United States schools teach to undergraduates. So students be careful it will be applied to other universities in US as well in the near future.
Learn C skills, write programs and get programming skills required for US universities.
