Dear lord. Hewlett-Packard says it’s buying 3Com for $2.7 billion. The rationale is that 3Com’s networking hardware would augment the HP ProCurve lineup. Really? Isn’t there considerable overlap?
HP must be really, really serious about beating Cisco.
Marius Haas, senior VP of HP ProCurve Networking, and Ron Sege, prez and COO of 3Com, will preside over this evening’s inevitable teleconference.
I guess this paves the way or someone, anyone, (Oracle? Anyone?) to snap up Brocade Networks. Juniper Networks anyone? Bueller?
