Sierra Logic, along with Emulex' switch and I/O controller business, will form the Embedded Storage Group, and will be headed by Whitson, the company said.

The remaining Emulex products will be the SAN Connectivity Group, including host bus adapters, blades, multiprotocol routers and storage virtualization, Smith said.
