3Com
Say what you want about 3Com, but no one can say the Marlborough, Mass.-based company isn't consistent. After ditching its enterprise focus years ago and working down market, 3Com made a return to form earlier this year, bringing its once Asia-only H3C line into the U.S. and hitting the ground running with a new roster of products, including a massive data center switch, a network management platform and a line of fixed-configuration Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches. 3Com's new strategy has H3C focusing on large enterprise and the data center, 3Com focusing on the SME and SMB market and TippingPoint locking down network security. Channel Contenders respondents believe 3Com has all its bases covered to be a true Cisco alternative.
