Infrastructure Management White Papers

Changing the Competitive Landscape of Converged Networking

Overview Today, customers want increased innovation and more intelligent networking products that are cost-effective and standards-based. Customers expect to have the freedom to choose the best solution and not be boxed in as they have been by proprietary technology and vendors unmotivated to offer innovation and interoperability. Customers want choice, they welcome choice and they want to be given reasons to exercise that choice. 3Com is the company best positioned to offer that choice long term. Today, 3Com offers a compelling alternative to "more of the same," and is inviting enterprise companies of all sizes to "Exercise Choice." 3Com's long-term technology-based vision centers on enterprise customers migrating to secure IP infrastructures that fully integrate data and voice networking applications.
