there's been a whole lot of merging and splitting.
Avago used to be HP's semiconductor business, was spun off in the great
split/merger with Compaq as part of Aglient, then in 2005 kicked to the
curb as an independent. They are big on analog, mixed signal, and
microwave semiconductors.
LSI had acquired 3Ware, ONStor, a bunch more, and merged them into
Engenio, which was their NAS/SAN division, making OEM storage arrays
sold by IBM, HP, Dell and others. Engenio has been sold to Network
Appliance, the original NAS company.
LSI acquired the Sandforce SSD chip business. Avago acquired and
merged with LSI. Avago unbundled Sandforce and sold it to Seagate.
Avago sold LSI's networking stuff to Intel just last week. AFAIK, Avago
still sells the LSI sas chips and both megaraid and 3ware raid controllers.
