What’s in a name? When LSI Logic Storage changed its name to Engenio in May, it was in a quiet period before a planned IPO and didn’t want to talk about what the name means (see LSI Spells Engenio). Now that its IPO is pushed back indefinitely, Engenio can reveal what’s been hidden so long.

“Some people interpret it as ‘Engine for IO,’ ” Engenio senior director of corporate marketing Mitch Seigle says. “We also intended to stress ingenuity. But the logo is a big part of the reason for the name, too.”

In Engenio’s logo, the "o" is a pearl inside of a shell. “That means we’re delivering hidden value,” Seigle says.

Oh. We thought it might be a reference to cliff diving.

Curses no more. Want to know what’s been keeping people in the storage business up at night? Baseball.
