		<description><![CDATA[Everything seems to be going in favor of the largest computer manufacturing company Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ). As per the recent report published by the technology research firm Gartner, HP generated $3.4 billion in server revenue during the first three months of the current year, up 16.0% compared to the year-ago period. On the other hand, during the same period, the server revenue of International Business Machines (IBM) dipped 2.1% to $3.05 billion. The performances of the two companies in the last quarter put HP in the leadership position, with a 31.5% market share, exceeding IBM’s market share of 28.4%. After overtaking all its competitors in the PC market, the tech major has now taken aggressive measures and ended up grabbing the top slot in the server business. The company has ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world’s largest computer maker Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) disclosed on Wednesday that it would be taking over the ailing smartphone company Palm Inc. (PALM) for $1.2 billion. This represents a whopping 53.6% premium to its market capitalization at the end of the day. The acquisition is expected to provide HP a foothold in the smartphone market, strengthening its competitive position versus Dell Inc. (DELL), which recently entered the market with its proprietary smartphone. HP’s interest in the company could also have something to do with Palm’s indigenous software that can run not only mobile phones but also other types of mobile computing devices. Historically, HP has always benefited from adopting technologies from acquired companies. The takeover is a windfall for Palm shareholders, since we believe it would be difficult for ]]></description>

Revenue Revenue of $345.9 million decreased 6.5% from $324.7 million in the year-ago quarter, and increased 7.4% sequentially from $322.2 million. This was partially offset by sales to Huawei, which fell 77.9% sequentially to $12.4 million, while China-based direct-touch sales reached $165.9 million in the quarter, up 29.7% compared to the year-ago period. China direct sales for the quarter were $165.9 million, which increased 29.7% compared to the year ago quarter. The sequential improvements were due to the effects of the global economic recovery, which were felt across major geographies, except China.

The company recently disclosed that it has grabbed a three-year, multi-million dollar deal with the Department of Education and Training (DET) in Northern Australia. As per the terms of the agreement, 3Com will create a broad range of high-value H3C enterprise networking solutions to fulfill DET NT’s wireless and networking needs for unified communications and multimedia learning. The company’s track record of successful project execution in the education sector and competitive pricing has helped it to secure this contract. This is not the only big government deal that the company has won in recent times. A few months back, 3Com won a deal to supply enterprise switching hardware, software and supporting services to the Queensland’s Public Safety ]]></description>

Around 170 Chinese consumers have jointly appealed to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), a Chinese agency, involved in issues related to product quality, to look into the matter relating to the supply of faulty computers by HP. In the complaint, the consumers have requested that the product quality regulators investigate the quality of HP notebooks and order the company to buy back or exchange allegedly faulty machines bought by the customers and also compensate them for losses. It also calls for AQSIQ to request a recall of the notebooks. As per the recent figures published by a non profit seeking website, Laweach, 1300 complains have been registered relating to issues ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Networking giant Cisco Systems (CSCO) has formally announced that it will be breaking off ties with longtime partner, Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ). In an official blog posted Thursday, Cisco SVP of Worldwide Channels, Keith Goodwin stated that H-P’s system integrator contract, due for renewal on April 30, would be set aside. As a result, H-P would cease to be a Cisco Certified Channel or Global Service Alliance Partner. The announcement comes as no surprise, since there has been ample evidence of a fallout between the companies over the past year. First, Cisco entered the server market with its blade servers in early 2009. H-P also launched its ProCurve line, directly snatching Cisco customers by offering them discounts for switching to H-P. Next, Cisco announced its Unified Computing System (UCS), which is ]]></description>

As per this deal, the computing major will work with Shell on seismic sensors which will help in predicting the underground reservoirs of oil and gas companies. This is one of the largest forays by H-P in the area of wireless computing, and this new system implemented by H-P is expected to improve the quality and accuracy of the seismic information collected by organizations to conduct such studies. We believe this opens up a new area of business for the company. This apart, the new business is in line with the current expansion plan of its networking business. For the same reason, Hewlett-Packard ]]></description>

Hewlett Packard disclosed its plans of taking over 3Com Corporation in November 2009. The acquisition, valued at $2.7 billion, enables H-P to challenge networking leader Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) and grab an additional share of the networking business. 3Com&#8217;s expertise is in networking products for data centers, which supports H-P&#8217;s ProCurve networking equipment. Although the company has seen better times, it has been beefing up its portfolio by utilizing its design capabilities in low-cost China. The company is therefore in a position to compete aggressively on price. 3Com’s challenges include its poor brand value in American and European ]]></description>

The statement was made as a result of an investigation over several weeks into China’s Internet censorship system that revealed a systematic and targeted hacking into Google’s corporate infrastructure. Google stated that the hacking resulted in theft of intellectual property (IP) and compromised gmail accounts related to human rights activists located both within and outside China. Twenty other companies have also been impacted. It is not yet clear however whether the Chinese government had a hand in the affair and China has not yet put forward any comment. It is interesting to note however that Google has only made a public statement, leaving the door open to further negotiations. It has not taken ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The networking gear maker, 3Com Corporation (COMS) showed sequential improvement on all fronts as ­revenue, earnings and operating margin were better than the company’s own guidance. The sequential improvements were due to the effects of the global economic recovery, which were felt across all geographies, particularly in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region and in Latin America, along with strong performance in its China based business. Moreover, the company benefited from lower expenses and a favorable tax adjustment in the quarter. The tax adjustment of $10.8 million was offset in part by transaction costs of approximately $4.6 million relating to the company’s pending merger with Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ). The second-quarter earnings (excluding one-time items) of 9 cents per share exceeded the Zacks consensus estimate of 6 cents a share. ]]></description>

As per the terms of the agreement, Optus will receive management support for applications relating to certain customer billing, data warehouse and other core systems. The company’s applications performance, quality and service reliability will thus be improved. Although HP did not mention the monetary value of the contract, we believe that this new agreement strengthens the relationship between the two companies. This is another service agreement, which is a stable and growing line of business for the company.

		<description><![CDATA[CEO John Chambers outlined Cisco Systems’ (CSCO) growth strategy at the company’s analyst day. Other than a reiteration of its long-term revenue growth target of 12-17% a year and its plans of expanding into 30 market adjacencies, management stated that it intends to focus on data centers, video and collaboration. Smartphones are not a targeted market, since prospects of capturing a leading market share are limited. Management also expects to strengthen its services business, which is currently a low-end affair, primarily focused on the maintenance of previously installed Cisco equipment. Management is on its way to establishing what it calls a Unified Computing System (UCS). The first step in the process was the launch of Cisco blade servers in March this year. The servers are central to the company’s data ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading Cisco Systems (CSCO) shares from Outperform to Neutral, as the shares have had a great run since the beginning of the year and we believe further upside will likely be limited. The company is a leading provider of IP-based networking products and has very large scale of operations all over the world. It is very well-entrenched in both developed and developing countries. Driven by improving trends in IT spending, the company reported a very strong fiscal first quarter. Results were a significant improvement over prior quarters, with both revenue and earnings exceeding the Zacks Consensus estimate. Of particular note is the growth in orders, which indicates continued business momentum. The company also has a very strong balance sheet, with around $31 billion in highly liquid short term ]]></description>

The three new easy-to-manage education solutions are tools for classroom teaching.

The second is the HP TeachNow, which helps teachers from non technical back grounds to address students using technology. Finally, HP SchoolCloud enables both students and teachers to access their applications and data from anywhere with the help of the Internet.

Prompted by the severe economic downturn, business enterprises on a global basis are restricting travel budgets to control costs. This makes high-definition telepresence solutions a cost-induced alternative in an increasingly interactive world. This market stands to gain in the near future since enterprises, governments, and educational institutions are increasingly recognizing the productivity-enhancing benefits of video conferencing. Yesterday, Cisco System Inc. (CSCO) raised its acquisition price to $3.41 billion for Tandberg ASA, the largest videoconferencing product maker in the world with around 35% market share. Cisco itself is a developer of high-end videoconferencing solutions, which mainly comprises custom-designed digital boardrooms for executives and boards to hold global meetings.

		<description><![CDATA[Hewlett Packard Company (HPQ) is planning to take over networking gear maker 3Com Corporation (COMS). The acquisition, valued at $2.7 billion, enables HP to challenge networking leader Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) on its own turf. HP’s current networking products, sold under the ProCurve brand, generate around $1 billion in annual sales (less than 1% of the company’s total revenue). The product line lacks competitive data center switches, which makes it hard to take market share from well-entrenched Cisco. 3Com&#8217;s expertise is in networking products for data centers, which supports HP&#8217;s ProCurve networking equipment. Although the company has seen better times, it has been beefing up its portfolio by utilizing its design capabilities in low-cost China. The company is, therefore, in a position to compete aggressively on price. 3Com’s challenges include ]]></description>
