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.
