New H3C Group targets government procurement deals

New H3C Group, a newly formed joint venture between State-owned Unisplendour Corp and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, will be targeting emerging technologies and government procurement deals to boost sales, company executives said on Friday.

The information infrastructure provider headquartered in Beijing and Hangzhou is preparing to fight off challenges from overseas giants such as Cisco Systems Inc and Dell Inc, taking advantages from closer ties with the government and technologies from HPE.

Tony Yu, president and CEO of New H3C, said his priorities include keeping the firm's top ranking in the Chinese enterprise market while transforming the company from a hardware maker to a software developer and provider of related services.
