Ngokuhambisana ngokugcwele nezinhlelo futhi ngaphandle kwezithiyo ezivela kuziphathimandla ze-antimonopoly, i-Broadcom ukuthatha ingxenye ye-Symantec ebambe iqhaza ekuthuthukisweni kwamathuluzi okuvikela ezinkundla zokuxhumana zebhizinisi. Lesi sivumelwano simenyezelwe ngo-Agasti nonyaka ngemuva kwezingxoxo ezinzima kakhulu.
Ekuqaleni, i-Broadcom yazama ukuthola i-Symantec ngokuphelele ngenani elingaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-15. Kodwa ukuzethemba okukhulu kwe-Symantec akuzange kuvumele lokhu ukuba kwenzeke. Ngemva kwezingxoxo ezinde amaqembu esivumelwaneni esibiza amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-10,7, kodwa ayizange ifake imikhiqizo yabathengi be-Symantec nethimba labo lokuthuthukisa (i-Norton antivirus, izixazululo ze-LifeLock nezinye okuhloswe ngazo ukuvikela idatha yomuntu siqu). I-Broadcom ithole uhlobo lwe-Symantec, abathuthukisi bezixazululo zokuvikela idatha yebhizinisi kanye nemikhiqizo ehlobene.
Ngaphakathi kweSymantec, uphiko lwe-cybersecurity lwebhizinisi lwenze imali encane kakhulu kunemikhiqizo yamakhasimende ayo. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ngokutholwa, i-Symantec ibizama ukwakha ibhizinisi engxenyeni yebhizinisi ye-cybersecurity. Akukho okuhle okwavela kulokhu. Ukusebenza kwezimali kwaba kubi kakhulu futhi kwaholela ezinguqukweni zokuphatha.
Ku-Broadcom, ngokuphambene, imakethe yesofthiwe ibonakala iyindlela yokunciphisa ukuncika kwayo kuzixazululo ze-semiconductor. Zonke lezi zinswinyo nezimpi zohwebo ne-China sezivele ziyikhiphile imali engenayo ye-Broadcom futhi zisongela ukwandisa umthelela emalini etholwa yinkampani esikhathini esizayo. Ngakho-ke uma ku-Symantec ukuhlukaniswa kwezinkampani sekuphenduke "ipotimende elingenasibambo," khona-ke ku-Broadcom kuzoba isitini esisekelweni sebhizinisi eligxile kwisofthiwe. Njengengxenye ye-Broadcom, uphiko lwe-Symantec luzoholwa yinhloko yalo yangaphambili u-Art Gilliland, umakadebona oneminyaka engu-20 yesipiliyoni.
Isisekelo sesakhiwo esisha kwaba ukuthengwa kwe-Broadcom kwama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-2018 kwe-CA Technologies ngo-18,9. Kakade kulo nyaka, i-Broadcom ilindele ukuthola cishe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-5 ekuthengisweni kwezinhlelo nezinsizakalo emalini elindelekile elinganiselwa ku-$22,5 billion kulo nyaka. Umuntu angacabanga ukuthi ukutholwa kwe-Broadcom esikhaleni sonjiniyela wesoftware ngeke kugcine lapho. Ubani ozolandela?
