History

QLogic was created in 1992 after being spun off by Emulex; the two are now competitors for the Fibre Channel HBA market. QLogic has acquired many companies over the years including Ancor, Little Mountain Group, PathScale, SilverStorm and NetXen. QLogic's original business was disk controllers. This business was sold to Marvell in 2005. QLogic has been led by Chairman H.K. Desai[4] since 1996 and by Simon Biddiscombe[5] as President and Chief Executive Officer between 2010 and 2013.[6]
