In my opinion HP bought 3com in order to get its market share in China and Asia, I doubt they will dump their product lines of the Provision ASIC switches.
""""" The acquisition of 3Com will dramatically expand HP’s Ethernet switching offerings, add routing solutions and significantly strengthen the company’s position in China – one of the world’s fastest-growing markets – via the H3C offerings. In addition, the combination will add a large and talented research and development team in China that will drive the acceleration of innovations to HP’s networking solutions.
