Broadcom’s Deal for CA Puts Big Iron in the Spotlight

Chipmaker Broadcom announced it made an all-cash, $18.9 billion bid for CA Technologies. CA Technologies, formerly Computer Associates, is a leader in mainframe-style computing. CA is widely known for its presence in the corporate IT infrastructure field. CA’s software runs on “big iron” mainframe computers, not on smartphones or smaller devices. CA and Broadcom do not overlap in what they do, hence regulators will be much more inclined to let what results from the bid alone.”]
