TippingPoint? I do not believe HP has anything in the IPS space at 
present. Their products are in use by 30% of fortune 1000 companies.

Re: [WISPA] HP to buy 3Com for 3.1bln

2009-11-11 Thread eje
That is my take on it and what the author of the article hints about. 
Cisco started in on the server market earlier this year where HP is big. HP now 
get more serious about networking and expand product offering. 3com is also 
pretty successful in China so would assume buying 3com will give HP access and 
control of 3coms Chines channel as well. HP hitting back against Cisco and 3com 
might not be the last acquisition in the close future.  The "fight" might just 
have finished round 2.
