who's who in storage? - Engenio
by
Zsolt Kerekes,
editor
Engenio was just one of many names which the storage
systems business of LSI went by, before being folded back into the main
company's brand.
Other monikers for this operation included Metastor
and LSI Logic Storage Systems.
What can we learn from this? -
Marketing
Nomenclature, and the Naming of Names - In business a corporate name is
normally a single word. Two word names are problematic, three words are more
complicated. Four words? - why not kill the business first?
For a year
or so from early 2004 LSI played with the idea of spinning the systems
business off, but scrapped those plans in 2006. LSI itself merged with
Agere Systems in Q1 2007.
But
then in March 2011 - LSI finally spun off
Engenio - selling it
for $480 million to Network

MetaStor E4600 SAN

| Editor's
notes from
storage history. |
Back in 2002 LSI was an advertiser here on
StorageSearch.com.
They had started being a customer of mine many
years earlier - when the SPARC systems market was important - and we published
the SPARC Product
Directory.
In those earlier 1990s ads - LSI was developing the
market for its SCSI host bus adapters.
Clicking on the MetaStor E4600
links above takes you to an archived page which shows the tech specs of the
product at that time. | | |
