BRUSSELS (Reuters) – U.S. chipmaker Broadcom’s is set to win conditional EU antitrust approval for its $61 billion proposed acquisition of cloud computing firm VMware on Wednesday, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
Last month, Reuters reported exclusively that Broadcom had succeeded in addressing the European Commission’s concerns regarding its Fibre Channel Host-Bus Adapters (FC HBAs) by offering an interoperability remedy to rival Marvell Technology.
Broadcom is a leading supplier of FC HBAs, which are storage adapters that connect servers to storage located outside the server on a storage-area network using the fiber channel protocol.
