Last Modified: Monday, January 5, 2009 at 10:37 a.m.
Petaluma’s Turin Networks, which makes telecommunications access gear, said Monday it will merge with San Jose’s Force10 Networks in March.
Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but the new company will be headquartered in San Jose and be called Force10 Networks.
Turin CEO Henry Wasik will be president of the new business.
The combined companies will offer a more complete solution for service providers and data centers, Wasik said. “Strategically, the merged company will be the only private networking company that is a leading player in three of the fastest growing segments of the networking market," he said.
The merged companies will have about 1,300 customers.
Privately-held Turin has about 400 employees, including 150 at its Petaluma headquarters. Turin also has research and development facilities in Boulder, Dallas, Boston and Shanghai.
