Overview: New Info-Tech Research Group analysis reveals H3C enterprise networking solutions by 3Com deliver up to 40% lower total cost of ownership than the comparable Cisco solution.

“Info-Tech Research Group found that in each case, the five-year TCO of 3Com’s H3C portfolio is lower than its comparable Cisco products, across 1000-, 3000-, and 5000-user campus LAN scenarios. Cisco charges a price premium of 34% to 40% over H3C’s solution, which fluctuates depending on the design. These percentages translate into thousands of dollars in cost-savings for customers who choose H3C. Given the turbulent economic climate, this can mean more money for other projects, fewer job cuts, or even a stronger bottom line.”
