GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep your drink close while celebrating a company that helped connect computers long before networking was taken for granted. Founded in 1979, 3Com made Ethernet adapter cards and grew into a broad supplier of local-network software and equipment. Its history brings together Silicon Valley beginnings, the growth of office networks, a merger with USRobotics, and the formation of H3C. This can cooler is a fitting keepsake for collectors who remember 3Com as a familiar name in the evolution of computing.
3Com Corporation was an American digital electronics manufacturer founded in 1979 by Robert Metcalfe, Howard Charney, and others. Its name referred to Computer Communication Compatibility, and its work centered on Ethernet, a technology Metcalfe had co-invented. After developing early Ethernet at Xerox PARC with David Boggs, Metcalfe left Xerox and formed the company. 3Com began with Ethernet adapter cards and expanded into local-area-network software, servers, switches, routers, wireless products, and voice and security systems. It became public in 1984 and merged with Bridge Communications in 1987, adding communications servers and network equipment. A 1997 merger with USRobotics brought modem products and Palm into the company; Palm and USRobotics later became independent again. In 2003, 3Com formed H3C with Huawei and moved its headquarters from Santa Clara, California, to Marlborough, Massachusetts. It acquired full ownership of H3C in 2007. Hewlett-Packard completed its acquisition of 3Com on April 12, 2010. After HP's 2015 separation, the business continued with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and was integrated into its Aruba Networks unit.
