3Com Sends Mao to China: Page 2 of 2

3Com’s North American business is a very different story, and the vendor experienced a 27 percent year-over-year revenue decrease in Q3, hence the renewed emphasis on China.

Clearly, the collapse of 3Com’s $2.2 billion acquisition by Bain Capital and Huawei has not diminished 3Com’s enthusiasm for the Chinese market, which is seen as a potential goldmine by storage vendors.

Don’t be surprised if other vendors follow 3Com’s lead and install senior execs within the People’s Republic over the coming years.
