QLogic has acquired many companies over the years including Ancor, Little Mountain Group, PathScale, SilverStorm and NetXen. To date, the company has achieved 75 consecutive quarters of profitability. It has shipped more than 15 million Fibre Channel ports.

QLogic was led by chairman H.K. Desai[3] from 1996 until his death in June 2014.[4] Jean Hu is the acting CEO.[5]

QLogic was acquired by Cavium on June 2016.[6]
