3Com wins Network Computing's "Company of the Year"

3Com has been voted "Company of the Year, 2007" by the readers of Network Computing Magazine - a demonstration of the respect that we continue to command within the industry.

The annual Network Computing Awards showcase individuals and organisations at the forefront of the networking industry, and winners are elected by online voting. Against a list of competitors nominated by the editor, 3Com gained more votes than Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM and Vodafone to win the major award of the evening, "Company of the Year, 2007".

Edgar Masri, 3Com President and Chief Executive officer, says, "This is proof of how committed 3Com is to the enterprise networking space. As the only vendor who has made significant investments in the enterprise networking space (H3C) in the past year, 3Com is uniquely positioned to provide all the components necessary to complete a voice ready network (switching, wireless, routing, security, convergence, services, network management). 3Com is executing aggressively against a product strategy that we believe highly differentiates the company and provides a unique value proposition for our customers and partners."

Stuart Leigh, Publishing Director of Network Computing, backs this up. "The Network Computing Magazine readership voted in their droves for 3Com. This is just reward for a company who are not only pioneers in a challenging, technology-driven arena but produce quality products to a demanding market-place. The Network Computing Awards were set up to reward excellence and this win shows exactly how 3Com are thought of within this very competitive market: number 1."
