"Producing SSD controllers for OEM integration and use within our own products significantly enhances our ability to capitalize on worldwide demand for SSDs, and yields cost reductions which help make SSDs more accessible to potential customers," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group. "This combination puts OCZ in an advantaged position as one of the few SSD manufacturers with captive controller production. "The acquisition will help to increase both revenue and gross margins as we vertically integrate controller technology, and it also provides critical support for current and future Enterprise and OEM opportunities," concluded the company's CEO.
