Segment and Geographic Information [Abstract]

Segment and Geographic Information

Note 10 — Segment and Geographic Information

     Historically, the Company operated in two reportable segments — the Semiconductor segment and the Storage Systems segment. The Semiconductor segment designs, develops and markets highly complex integrated circuits for storage and networking applications. These solutions include both custom solutions and standard products. The Storage Systems segment offered external storage systems and RAID adapters for computer servers and associated software for attaching storage devices to computer servers. On March 9, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its external storage systems business to NetApp and started to operate its RAID adapter business as part of its semiconductor business. Accordingly, the Company now has one reportable segment. The change has been reflected in the Company’s segment reporting for all periods presented.

Information about Geographic Areas

     The following table summarizes the Company’s revenues by geography based on the ordering location of the customer. Because the Company sells its products primarily to other sellers of technology products and not to end-users, the information in the table below may not accurately reflect geographic end-demand for its products.
