H3C was once a joint venture between Huawei and 3COM. Before 2007, H3C was called Huawei 3COM. After 2007, Huawei sold all its shares, and H3C changed its name to its current name (H3C). However, Huawei and H3C signed a three-year protection period, during which Huawei did not enter the industry market, but only became an operator, and the industry market was left to H3C.
Now we see H3C in government, schools, electric power and other industries, and Huawei in mobile, China Unicom and telecommunications. Some special things are that Huawei's products in the industry are sold by H3C, because users name Huawei. Since 20 10, Huawei has entered the industry market, so now the two companies are officially competing.
