On 12 April 2010, Hewlett-Packard completed a previously announced acquisition of 3Com. Following the HP acquisition, 3Com was fully absorbed by HP and no longer exists as a separate entity. The article below explains the portfolio at the time of acquisition.

3Com Corporation had three global brands—H3C, 3Com, and TippingPoint. Products sold under the 3Com brand include network switches, wireless access points, WAN routers, and IP voice systems.
