The industry is at an inflection point. Today, clients cannot keep up with the rapid pace of business change. They are working with a fragile networking infrastructure that requires different tools, operating systems and management environments. All of this means that networks are hard to manage, vulnerable to attacks and expensive to maintain. Besides, nowadays local area network concepts are based on old standards in which half of the available bandwidth remains on standby whereas it could be used to offer better performances. This ends today.
With HP, clients will have a network that is innovating, open, flexible and robust–with “single pane of glass” management. It provides a secure network fabric that becomes the foundation on which to grow their business. HP is the only company to offer a full portfolio of standards-based, integrated solutions and services developed specifically to solve the complexities of the extended enterprise and deliver a Converged Infrastructure of servers, storage and networking.
With the acquisition of 3Com, HP is transforming the networking industry. The combination of HP and 3Com brings together the best technology in the industry and the client focus of one of the largest technology companies in the world. HP has spent 25 years building and selling networking products to our worldwide client base. HP is #2 in the market, with a 21% port count share, and is the fastest growing networking company in the industry. Now with the addition of 3Com, HP has the full product portfolio, combined with HP's reach and our partner ecosystem to fundamentally accelerate innovation and change the economics of the networking industry.
With 3Com's best-in-class core switching products, which enjoy the #1 market share position in China, TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System and ProCurve edge switches, these products represent a new and superior choice for clients who are frustrated by today's current offerings. HP will combine these two entities and operate under the banner of “HP Networking.”
