3Com Brings Strength in High-End Data Center Switching
3Com’s Product Leadership Validated by Industry Experts…
“3Com has a product line, when you look at these announcements, that is as broad and robust as anyone out there, including Cisco. I think [Intelligent Management Center] is a unique differentiator. Network management hasn't been the core priority of most network equipment vendors. Even Cisco, with Cisco Works – the development of it tends to be pretty fragmented.”Zeus Kerravala,Yankee Group in TechTarget May 12, 2009 “3Com hopes to win enterprise networking customers with global H3C push”
“The introduction of H3C products will add a very interesting dimension to the market...3Com now has a range of marquee clients won against top-notch vendors.” Chris Bernard, IDC, May 25, 2009 “3Com Moves Back Into Enterprise Business: Watch This Space”
“3Com has a completely rejuvenated product offering from workgroup switching and WLAN through to high-capacity core switches.”Gartner Inc., April 30, 2009 “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise LAN (Global)”
● Over 300 of the Top 500 Enterprises in China
● The 4th and 5th largest banks in the world● ~70% of the government networks in
China● The world’s 8th busiest airport
… and Adopted by Leading Global Enterprises
©2009 HP Confidential©2009 HP Confidential
“We are confident that we can run our entire global business of 300,000-plus employees, including our next generation data centers, entirely on the new HP networking solutions. Based on our experience and extensive testing of 3Com’s products, we are planning to undertake a global rollout within HP as soon as possible after the completion of the acquisition.”Randy Mott – HP EVP and Chief Information Officer
HP IT & Enterprise Services Extensively Tested 3Com Products

Industry reaction
H-P will now combine its own ProCurve networking products with 3Com's offerings, significantly boosting its reach in corporate data centers. With many firms rethinking their IT strategies as the economy emerges from the recession, HP is clearly laying the foundations for the future. Specifically, the deal expands the tech bellwether's Ethernet switch and routing products, as well as its presence in China. And HP took a big step tonight in fighting back, announcing a nearly $3 billion play for 3Com, in HP's fourth largest acquisition ever. The $7.90 a share is a nice, 40 percent premium to 3Com's trading price yesterday. It positions HP as a key, end-to-end supplier for datacenter customers, and is a huge step forward in staunching the increasing threat from Cisco.
Together, they are clearly number two in the market,” said Steve Schuchart, an analyst with Current Analysis. “We’re seeing a fairly large consolidation in the market. ”This puts HP in a much better position against Cisco,” Schuchart said. “Overall, this is going to be a big opportunity.”

Conclusion● Transforms enterprise networking
● Provides comprehensive solution in networking from the edge to the heart of the data center
● Couples 3Com’s Next Generation enterprise products with HP’s global distribution and services
