1 Technology Trends in the Current Economic Scenario A 3Com Presentation, Manoj Kanodia CEO

2 Agenda Technology Trends & IT Direction How 3Com Addresses Current Trends 3Com s Way: No Compromise Infrastructure

3 IT is prioritizing initiatives that are focused on consolidation, efficiency, and productivity Applications Internet Users Corporate network Network Virtualization Security & BC/DR Cloud computing Server virtualization Data center consolidation! These major IT initiatives require that the network evolve and keep pace with the rate of change

4 Increasingly distributed enterprises require networks as the connective business fabric Internet Mobile employees, partners, customers, External services External apps Internal apps Corporate/Government Network Extranet partners Contact centers Offshore development

5 Technology Trends Instantaneous Communications Everywhere Convergence will continue to power collaboration applications Instant Messaging Video Conferencing Presence Unified Messaging Web 2.0, Social Networking Mobile access of and company data resources is a must have Mobile devices will rival desktop PC s for performance and data storage Secure remote access Converged networks, computer processing and data storage will continue to increase in performance and decrease in price in accordance with Moore's Law* Gigabit to the desktop will continue to decrease in cost and gain momentum, enabling next generation multimedia applications. 10 Gigabit will continue to decrease in price and become the standard for edge to core connectivity. 40 and even 100 Gigabit technology will emerge in large data centers and carrier networks

6 Technology Trends Virtualization of the Converged Network Enables a whole new resilient and reliable network architecture to ensure business continuity and application availability More Bandwidth for high speed server farms using Active-Active links across virtual switch Fast convergence using Active-Active multi-path link failover across virtual switch Single IP Management Entity for virtual network switch Single physical infrastructure, many resilient virtual networks MPLS with MPLS TE Network switch/server virtualization (VMware, MS Hyper V etc) will continue to rationalize server environments Wireless Mobility - Voice and Multimedia Connectivity Wireless mobility will continue to deliver more bandwidth for demanding applications whilst ensuring a secure connection to network resources. High speed n due to be ratified around Nov 2009 Jan 2010 Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) starting to be adopted as alternative to DECT RFID and location tracking High Definition Video over Wi-Fi Wireless Mesh for Backhaul Virtualized Wireless Controllers for intelligent failover and load balancing

7 Technology Trends Triple Play and Quad Play Continued deployment and rapid growth of high speed passive fibre networks which enable delivery of multimedia services for FTTx applications over a wide coverage area. Triple Play Voice, Video and Data Quad Play Voice, Video, Data and Wireless Also used to deliver IP Surveillance, Security Access PON support for CATV (RF PON) integration on same fibre Delivers HD IPTV and HD Video on Demand (HD VoD) Advanced Layered Data Security and Remote Access Advanced intelligent security will continue to evolve and be integrated into traditional network connectivity devices. Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) on switch and router modules Advanced Firewall, Anti-Spam, Anti-virus and Content filtering Layered Architecture will allow for control and management of threats. Remote access will be easier to deploy. Host based health posture and security policy checks (NAC) with options on persistent and dissolvable agents across multiple operating system platforms. Perimeter Security Firewalls Transparent pro-active network protection using IPS technology SSL VPN technology will become more widely deployed

8 Technology Trends Next Generation IP Video Surveillance Scalable and unified IP architecture to integrate with advanced video analytics for intelligent next generation surveillance Advanced security analytics Human Behavior Running, Fighting etc Facial Recognition Movement detection Human Flux Perimeter Alarm Human Counting Advanced Traffic monitoring Number plate recognition Vehicle counting Parking infringement Traffic flux Vehicle behavior 2D & 3D GIS Alarm and Mobile subject linkage Surveillance points Subject orientation Centralized Management of Video and Data Storage Open standards protocols SIP, XML, RTP, iscsi Remote Video Client Monitoring

9 How is 3Com Addressing These Technology Trends?

10 3Com s Market Opportunity: Flight to Value Open Standard Network Infrastructure Flight to Innovation Flight to Stability Flight to Value Speeds and feeds wars Switching vs Routing wars Vendors drive technology 2001 Internet/post-Y2K bust Market consolidation survival of even blue chip companies in doubt Safety first Vendor drives technology Do More with Less Maturity Dividend 2007 Built on open standards to futureproof networks Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) Energy efficient platforms increased speeds Ethernet and IP everywhere Customer demands highperformance, secure, converged, flexible and green infrastructure

11 3Com s IT over IP Strategy Mgmt. Software EAD Router MPLS Software Switch IRF platform Wireless Stacking Hardware Security Virtual Storage platform Campus Voice/Video Wi-Fi Encoder/decoder EPON Hotspot Over 110 IP Video Metro vertical market surveillance Data Ethernet Sharing Center Disaster Recovery Platform Product Solution Application Over 100 countries and regions Advanced IP platform & Open Standard Broad portfolios based on IP technology Industry First Bespoke solutions

12 3Com Leads the Green Initiative Green Networking Equipment: Who Leads and Who Lags SKU: IN LS Fabric Capacity (Gbps) per Watt (24-Port GE, Fixed, Managed, L2 3) Fabric Capacity (Gbps) Per Watt (48-Port GE, Fixed, Managed, L2 3)..some switch vendors are taking a proactive approach, designing their equipment from the ground up with the most efficient hardware components available. Using rapid heat-dissipating raw materials, highly efficient power supplies, intelligent cooling systems, and advanced silicon solutions, there are significant equipment-level improvements in energy efficiency that are both easily measured and visible to the consumer. Aside from just immediate energy efficiency improvements, this strategy allows for scalability, giving IT managers the excess capacity to enable equipment with more advanced networking technologies and applications. Two vendors using a bottom-up, approach are 3Com and D-Link.

13 3Com s Commitment to Green Technology Objective: Reducing energy consumption while increasing network functionality 3Com switch power supply units deliver greater than 80% efficiency Overall Power Efficiency S4800G proved among the best for energy efficiency (e.g 108 W compared to 176 W competitive average products tested to date S7906E better resiliency than (extends product life cycle) and excellent efficiency 889 W compared to 1140 W competitive average products tested to date Intelligent Power over Ethernet delivers intuitive power management so devices are fully powered with no power waste 3Com OSN strategy saves power by consolidating applications typically run on separate appliance into the network
