HP acquires LeftHand Networks, the largest remaining independent iSCSI SAN supplier, in a $360 million all-cash deal Yesterday, HP an <a href=www.cup-stanley-cup.uk>stanley travel mug</a> nounced that it had signed an agreement to acquire L <a href=www.mugs-stanley.us>stanley quencher</a> eftHand Networks, a leading provider of storage virtualization and iSCSI storage area network SAN solutions. The deal came in at $360 million despite the current economic conditions, a lot of money to be sure, but not nearly the $1.4 billion that Dell announced it would spend to acquire EqualLogic back in November of 2007.The acquisition helps HP better compete in the mid-market with Dell and other rivals. As established vendors in the SAN market have been adapting their Fibre-Channel <a href=www.stanley-cups.at>stanley cup</a> solutions to support the less-expensive iSCSI solution, vendors such as LeftHand have been creating newer software thatrsquo cheaper and easier for customers to use. And market data provided by IDC shows corporate spending on storage products have increased around 17 percent during the first half of the year. Dave Roberson, senior vice president and general manager of the StorageWorks Division at HP, said The acquisition of LeftHand Networks significantly expands our storage portfolio, enabling HP to deliver customers an expanded suite of storage functionality, scalable capacity, and interconnect options for every budget and performance requirement. HP said that with the addition of LeftHand Networks, they are going to add midrange offerings to their existing suite of iSCSI solutions.
