Big data can make H3C a major player in China under new owner

H3C Technologies Co Ltd, the communications equipment maker based in Hangzhou, capital city of Zhejiang province, will move into big data services after being bought by Chinese firm Unisplendor Corp Ltd.

The former Hewlett-Packard China subsidiary has focused on research and development of information technology infrastructure. But now the company is making big data, a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional processing applications are inadequate, a priority.

As part of the deal, Unisplendor also acquired HP's business in China, which includes server, storage and technology services.
