In today's economy, enterprises are faced with unprecedented budget pressures and increasing demands for uncompromising network performance, uptime and security. 3Com is addressing this market need by taking its broad, fresh portfolio of H3C edge-to-data-center solutions to the world. "Our experience in achieving market leadership over the last few years in China has made it clear there is a significant need to take the cost and complexity out of building enterprise networks," said Bob Mao, chief executive officer, 3Com. "This demand for the 'no-compromise network' is clearly global and runs from small enterprises to large multinationals. Customers are ready for an alternative to the outdated and proprietary offerings that are too costly to purchase and difficult to manage. We have validated our approach by introducing H3C outside of China in select markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Refers to that region of the world. For example, one might see products packaged differently for the UK, EMEA and Asia Pacific markets. and we are encouraged by the receptiveness large enterprises have shown in adopting the new H3C enterprise portfolio." "There is more scrutiny of enterprise networking vendors by IT leaders than ever before as they make getting more value from their networking investment a top priority," said Mark Fabbi, vice president -- distinguished analyst, Gartner. "Enterprises are searching for vendor options to provide lower TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. and easier management and deployment while fulfilling their need for continued high performance and reliability." At the foundation of 3Com's enterprise networking strategy is a mandate to deliver unmatched price/performance and a new approach to customer relationships. Three tenets drive this strategy: 1. Design solutions that lower TCO: The H3C portfolio of solutions has been designed and built over the last four years, incorporating the latest in merchant silicon and energy efficiency, as well as a common management platform; 2. Architect future-proof products: The H3C solutions are based on open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced and leverage common hardware and software systems to help solve today's problems while allowing the flexibility to adapt to future technology enhancements; and 3. Deliver a new level of customer intimacy: 3Com has made responsiveness and flexibility a priority, underscored by the stability of a $1.3 billion, profitable, global organization. Elite partners authorized to sell H3C products will also help elevate the level of customer service and support. Expanding 3Com's H3C Enterprise Networking Portfolio As part of the recent announcements, 3Com is expanding the H3C portfolio of edge-to-data-center solutions with two new switching platforms, the H3C S12500 for end-of-rack in data centers and the first-of-its-kind "flex-chassis" switching platform, the H3C S5800, for wiring closets, smaller network cores and top-of-rack in data centers. All of the products announced recently, as well as 3Com's complete H3C portfolio of products, are manageable by the new H3C Intelligent Management Center (IMC (Internet Mail Consortium, Santa Cruz, CA, www.imc.org) An industry trade association founded in 1996 by Paul Hoffman and Dave Crocker that promotes Internet e-mail standards and features. )--a single-pane management platform that allows for the effective integration of traditionally separate management tools, providing complete management of resources, services and users.

These customers selected H3C enterprise networking solutions after reviewing and testing comparable products from other networking providers. Determining factors in their purchasing decisions were the ability to meet key requirements ranging from a lower total cost of ownership to energy efficiency to ease-of-management; the company's clear enterprise networking expertise and responsiveness; and its fresh, new high-performance product portfolio. During the last six months, 3Com introduced H3C enterprise networking solutions in select countries in EMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific, and is finding a positive reception, especially among value- and performance-conscious customers.

These partners will collaborate with 3Com's enterprise sales teams to provide customers with a new level of responsiveness and enterprise networking expertise. "The time is right for the enterprise networking status quo [Latin, The existing state of things at any given date.] Status quo ante bellum means the state of things before the war. The status quo to be preserved by a preliminary injunction is the last actual, peaceable, uncontested status which preceded the pending controversy. to change, and we believe the H3C portfolio is poised to be the impetus for that change," Mao concluded. 2009 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com) 2009 Al Bawaba (Albawaba.com) Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
