Ngokuhambelana ngokupheleleyo nezicwangciso kwaye ngaphandle kwemiqobo evela kumagunya e-antimonopoly, Broadcom Ukuthathwa kwecandelo le-Symantec lizibandakanye kuphuhliso lwezixhobo zokhuseleko zamaqonga eekhompuyutha zeshishini. Esi sivumelwano sabhengezwa kweyeThupha kulo nyaka emva kothethathethwano olunzima kakhulu.
Ekuqaleni, i-Broadcom yazama ukufumana i-Symantec ngokupheleleyo ngemali engaphezu kwe-15 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kodwa ukuzithemba kwe-Symantec akuzange kuvumele ukuba oku kwenzeke. Emva kothethathethwano olude amaqela kwisivumelwano esixabisa i-10,7 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, kodwa ayizange ifake iimveliso zabathengi be-Symantec kunye neqela labo lophuhliso (i-Norton antivirus, izisombululo ze-LifeLock kunye nezinye ezijoliswe ekukhuseleni idatha yomuntu siqu). I-Broadcom ifumene i-brand ye-Symantec, abaphuhlisi bezisombululo zokukhusela idatha yeshishini kunye neemveliso ezinxulumene nazo.
Ngaphakathi kweSymantec, icandelo le-cybersecurity lenze ingeniso encinci kakhulu kuneemveliso zabathengi. Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, ngokufunyanwa, iSymantec ibizama ukwakha ishishini kwicandelo le-cybersecurity. Akukho nto intle yavela kule nto. Ukusebenza kwemali kuye kwaba mandundu kwaye kwakhokelela kutshintsho kulawulo.
Kwi-Broadcom, ngokuchaseneyo, imarike yesoftware ibonakala iyindlela yokunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwayo kwizisombululo ze-semiconductor. Zonke ezi zohlwayo kunye neemfazwe zorhwebo kunye neChina sele zinciphise ingeniso ye-Broadcom kwaye zisongela ukwandisa impembelelo kwingeniso yenkampani kwixesha elizayo. Ke ukuba kwiSymantec icandelo leshishini libe "yisutikheyisi engenasiphatho," ke kwiBroadcom iya kuba sisitena kwisiseko seshishini elijolise kwisoftware. Njengenxalenye ye-Broadcom, icandelo le-Symantec liya kukhokelwa yintloko yalo yangaphambili u-Art Gilliland, igqala elineminyaka eyi-20 yamava.
Ilitye lembombo lesi sakhiwo esitsha yayiyi-Broadcom ye-2018 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zokuthengwa kwe-CA Technologies ngo-18,9. Sele kulo nyaka, i-Broadcom ilindele ukufumana malunga ne-5 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwiintengiso zeenkqubo kunye neenkonzo kwingeniso elindelekileyo malunga ne-$ 22,5 yezigidigidi kulo nyaka. Umntu unokucinga ukuba ukufunyanwa kweBroadcom kwindawo yomphuhlisi wesoftware akuyi kuphelela apho. Ngubani oza kulandela?
