HP-3Com aftershocks could hit Triangle
Hewlett-Packard Co.'s $2.7 billion deal to buy 3Com Corp. this week has led to speculation about what other companies HP might look to buy as it beefs up its offerings in the data center market – and some of those potential deals would have a direct impact on the Raleigh-Durham market. Analysts speculate that other companies, both publicly traded and venture-backed, might now be in HP's cross-hairs as it steps up its challenge to Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO), a Silicon Valley neighbor of HP's and a cornerstone of the Raleigh-Durham economy with more than 4,000 employees in Research Triangle Park. Another RTP linchpin, IBM Corp. (NYSE:IBM), is seen as a possible rival on some of HP's potential purchases. Armonk, N.Y.-based Big Blue has more than 10,000 employees in RTP. Pacific Crest Securities analyst Brent Bracelin told Reuters that HP might consider buying New Jersey-based Avaya Inc. Avaya would be attractive in the telephony market once the company closes next month on its acquisition of Nortel Networks' Enterprise Solutions division, which is headquartered in Research Triangle Park. Kaufman Brothers analyst Shaw Wu told Reuters that he believes more networking companies like 3Com could be on HP's shopping list, including Seattle-bas...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
Videoconferencing: Cisco, Logitech Target the Mainstream
Videoconferencing: Cisco, Logitech Target the Mainstream Logitech's acquisition of LifeSize and Cisco's bid for Tandberg are aimed at grabbing market share and expanding sales to more businesses—and even consumers By Peter Burrows Videoconferencing may finally be headed for the mainstream. The technology that lets people around the globe hold face-to-face meetings electronically has been around for decades. Yet many videoconferencing products have for too long been glitchy, overpriced, and hard to use. Yet seemingly overnight, companies including Cisco Systems (CSCO), Logitech International (LOGI), and several lesser-known startups are engaged in a flurry of dealmaking aimed at grabbing more of the market and bringing the technology into more businesses and homes. Cisco on Nov. 16 upped to $3.4 billion its bid for market leader Tandberg (TAA.DE), hoping to win over investors who said the Oslo, Norway-based company is worth more than the initial $3 billion offer. Cisco may also introduce a videoconferencing product for consumers at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, BusinessWeek has learned. And in its largest-ever acquisition, PC accessories giant Logitech said on Nov. 10 it will pay $405 million for LifeSize Communications, a maker of high-end high-definition videoconferencing gear. Shares of Polycom (PLCM), the last remaining videoconferencing pure play, have risen 12.5% since Oct. 28, on hope...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
