Analysis of Agreement Containing Consent Order To Aid Public Comment

Introduction

The Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') has accepted, subject
to final approval, an Agreement Containing Consent Order (``Consent
Agreement'') from Broadcom Limited (``Broadcom'') and Brocade
Communications Systems, Inc. (``Brocade''), designed to remedy the
anticompetitive effects resulting from Broadcom's proposed acquisition
of Brocade.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 1, 2016,
the parties agreed that Broadcom would acquire Brocade for $5.9
billion, including assuming $400 million in debt (``the Acquisition'').
The Commission's Complaint alleges that the proposed Acquisition, if
consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15
U.S.C. 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 45, by
substantially lessening competition in the worldwide market for fibre
channel switches. The Complaint alleges that Broadcom's access to
Cisco's competitively sensitive confidential information, provided in
furtherance of its ongoing supply relationship for application specific
integrated circuits (``ASICs'') with Broadcom, may substantially lessen
competition by increasing the likelihood that Broadcom may unilaterally
exercise market power or by increasing the likelihood of coordinated
interaction between the two competitors in the fibre channel switch
market.
Under the terms of the proposed Decision and Order (``Order'')
contained in the Consent Agreement, Broadcom is required to implement
firewalls preventing the flow of Cisco's confidential business
information outside of an identified group of relevant Broadcom
employees, and requires a monitor to oversee compliance with the
firewall provisions. The proposed remedy effectively addresses the
potential for competitive harm resulting from Broadcom misusing Cisco's
competitively sensitive confidential information.
The Consent Agreement has been placed on the public record for 30
days to solicit comments from interested persons. Comments received
during this period will become part of the public record. After 30
days, the Commission will again review the Consent Agreement and the
comments received, and decide whether it should withdraw from the
Consent Agreement, modify it, or make it final.

The Parties

Headquartered in both Singapore and San Jose, California, Broadcom
is a publically traded global developer and supplier of semiconductor
products. Broadcom's enterprise storage group specializes in designing,
producing, and selling a broad array of integrated circuits used in
fibre channel and Ethernet network environments, including ASICs for
fibre channel switches.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, Brocade is a data storage
and networking company. Brocade is the leading manufacturer of fibre
channel switches, and also sells wireless networking equipment,
Ethernet switches, and software solutions for networks.

The Relevant Market and Market Structure

The relevant line of commerce in which to analyze the effects of
the Acquisition is fibre channel switches. The fibre channel switch is
part of a fibre channel storage area network, which employs the fibre
channel interconnect protocol to enable stable, high-throughput data
transfers between servers and storage arrays in data centers. Fibre
channel switches provide quick and secure access to large amounts of
data and are often used for mission-critical applications.
Fibre channel switch customers would not turn to alternative
switching technologies in response to a small but significant price
increase because doing so would involve significant business risk and
expense.
Each fibre channel switch contains an ASIC, which is an integrated
circuit that is custom-tailored to carry out the functions of the fibre
channel switch. It is the most costly and technically complex component
of the switch. The ASIC is designed through a collaboration between the
switch manufacturer and an ASIC provider. Switch manufacturers
typically develop proprietary intellectual property, and ASIC
providers, add intellectual property libraries, design oversight
capabilities, and oversee the production of the ASICs at a third-party
foundry in order to create a commercial ASIC for a switch manufacturer.
The relevant geographic market in which to analyze the effects of
the Acquisition on the fibre channel switch market is worldwide. Fibre
channel switches are produced in facilities worldwide. The size and
weight of fibre channel switches generally allow for economical
shipping to downstream customers located throughout the world.
The worldwide market for fibre channel switches is highly
concentrated, consisting of a duopoly between Brocade and Cisco. The
fibre channel market has been flat to slowly declining over the past
several years.

Effects of the Acquisition

The Complaint alleges that as a result of its ongoing ASIC supply
relationship with Cisco, Broadcom will continue to have extensive
access to Cisco's competitively sensitive confidential information.
Without proper safeguards, Broadcom could misuse that information,
leading to anticompetitive conduct that could make Cisco a less
effective competitor, or increase the likelihood of coordinated
interaction between the two remaining fibre channel switch competitors,
in turn

[[Page 32188]]

increasing the probability that customers would pay higher prices for
fibre channel switches and that innovation would be lessened.

Entry

Entry into the worldwide fibre channel switch market is not likely
to occur in a timely, likely, or sufficient magnitude, character and
scope to deter or counteract any anticompetitive effects created by the
proposed Acquisition. Entry is unlikely in light of slowly declining
demand for fibre channel switches in a mature market, customers that
tend to stay with one fibre channel switch manufacturer for extended
periods of time, and the significant capital costs required for entry.

The Consent Agreement

To remedy the alleged competitive concern stemming from Broadcom's
access to Cisco's competitively sensitive confidential information, the
consent decree prevents the Cisco information from being shared among
Broadcom employees who could use such information to raise prices or
lessen innovation.
Pursuant to the proposed Order, only authorized individuals will
have access to Cisco's competitively sensitive confidential information
that is given to the firewalled entity, which is defined as Broadcom's
business group responsible for the development, production, sale, and
marketing of fibre channel ASICs for Cisco. The firewalled entity will
have separate facilities and a separate information technology system
with security protocols assuring access only to the authorized
individuals. Furthermore, Broadcom shall require all authorized
individuals to sign a non-disclosure agreement, requiring compliance
with the terms of the proposed Order. Additionally, the proposed Order
provides for a cooling off period whereby any authorized individual who
leaves his or her position at the firewalled entity will not work in
the development, production, sale, or marketing of fibre channel ASICs
for Brocade's business unit or in the development, production, sales,
and marketing of fibre channel switches for twelve months.
The proposed Order also requires Broadcom to use Cisco's
competitively sensitive confidential information only in furtherance of
the design, manufacturing, and sale of fibre channel ASICs for Cisco.
Moreover, Broadcom will be required to take all actions necessary to
prevent access to, or the disclosure or use of Cisco's competitively
sensitive confidential information by or to anyone who is not an
authorized individual. The proposed Order also incorporates by
reference non-disclosure provisions contained in four prior private
Confidentiality Agreements that Broadcom, or its predecessor, signed
with Cisco.
To ensure compliance with the proposed Order, the Commission will
appoint a Monitor to oversee Broadcom's and Brocade's performance of
their obligations pursuant to the Consent Agreement. The Monitor will
be appointed to a five-year term, but the Commission may extend or
modify the term as appropriate up to a ten-year period. Further, the
Consent Agreement contains appropriate reporting requirements.

Opportunity for Public Comment

The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the
proposed Consent Agreement to aid the Commission in determining whether
it should make the proposed Consent Agreement final. This analysis is
not an official interpretation of the proposed Consent Agreement and
does not modify its terms in any way.

By direction of the Commission.

Secretary.
