Therefore, this company changed its name to H3C, which is Hangzhou Huasan Communication Technology Co., Ltd. ..
3. Later, Huawei tried to buy 3COM, but was blocked by the US Trade and Security Commission on the grounds of endangering US national security.
4. Now 3COM has been acquired by HP, and H3C has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HP.
H3C is currently a subsidiary of HP, mainly engaged in IP products. The birth of this company originated from the patent war between Huawei and Cisco.
In 2003, Cisco suddenly sued Huawei in the United States. In response to the lawsuit, Huawei and 3Com established Huawei 3Com in Hangzhou, in which Huawei owns 565,438+0% of the shares and 3Com owns 49% of the shares. Huawei put low-end switches and other products into Huawei 3Com for development, and the entire development and sales team also moved to Huawei 3Com. Zheng Shusheng, CEO of Huawei 3Com, and Wu Jingchuan, sales director, are both old Huawei people. Most of its development teams are also transferred from Huawei. At that time, Huawei 3Com's induction training for new employees and Huawei's induction training for new employees were both at Huawei's Bantian base in Shenzhen.
In 2005, 3Com bought another 2% stake from Huawei. In 2006, 3Com bought all the shares for more than 800 million dollars, and Huawei 3Com officially changed its name to H3C.
In the early days, the backbone of H3C was basically composed of Huawei, which inherited Huawei's wolf culture. The genes of the two companies are very similar. Now H3C is a completely foreign company. I don't know what the corporate culture is like now.
At present, H3C and Huawei mainly compete in the enterprise network market.
