IBM To Buy Texas Memory Systems

International Business Machines Corp has agreed to buy privately held Texas Memory Systems, an enterprise storage technology provider, to expand its own storage offerings, IBM said.

Armonk, New York-based IBM did not disclose the terms of the deal with Texas Memory, which employs about 100 people. The deal is expected to close later this year, IBM said.

Texas Memory told Reuters in December that it was looking to be bought by a bigger company so it could take advantage of a bigger sales force to sell its products to corporate customers.
