## Exclusive-Broadcom set to win EU nod for $61 billion VMware deal, sources say   By Foo Yun Chee    BRUSSELS (Reuters) – U.S. chipmaker Broadcom is set to gain conditional EU antitrust approval for its $61 billion proposed acquisition of cloud computing firm VMware, [people](https://brandsjournal.com/russian-plane-with-159-aboard-makes-emergency-landing-in-novosibirsk-region-agencies/) familiar with the matter said.    The European Commission’s clearance is tied to Broadcom’s interoperability remedies to rivals to address competition concerns, the [people](https://brandsjournal.com/russian-plane-with-159-aboard-makes-emergency-landing-in-novosibirsk-region-agencies/) said.    The EU antitrust watchdog, which is scheduled to decide on the deal by July 17, and [Broadcom](https://brandsjournal.com/eu-opens-antitrust-probe-into-broadcoms-61-billion-vmware-bid/) declined to comment.    One of the remedies focuses on Fibre Channel Host-Bus Adapters (FC HBAs) and is targeted at rival Marvell Technology, one of the [people](https://brandsjournal.com/russian-plane-with-159-aboard-makes-emergency-landing-in-novosibirsk-region-agencies/) said. Marvell Technology did not respond to a request for comment.    FC HBAs are storage adapters that connect servers to storage located outside the server on a storage-area network using the fiber channel protocol, typically through a switch. Broadcom is a leading supplier of FC HBAs.    [Broadcom](https://brandsjournal.com/eu-opens-antitrust-probe-into-broadcoms-61-billion-vmware-bid/) supplies chips used in data centres for networking and specialised chips that speed up AI work.
