3Com Achieves 'Double Whammy' at NetWorld+Interop Paris PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 1997-- I may have been busy giving someone an ear full earlier. <gg> But has this been posed? Data Communications Names CoreBuilder 3500 Layer 3 High-Function Switch Best of Show Product and Best New Network Infrastructure Product 3Com, the global networking leader, received double honours for its CoreBuilder 3500 Layer 3 High-Function Switch at this year's Paris NetWorld+Interop show, winning the Data Communications 'Best of the Best' and the 'Best of Show' awards in the infrastructure category. The 'Best of Best' award recognizes the top new product or services at NetWorld+Interop that significantly advance state of the art of distributed computing and networking, while the 'Best of Show' award is awarded to leading product or service in each of six categories. Introduced on September 15 this year, the CoreBuilder 3500 -- which raises the bar for Layer 3 switching solutions by offering ten times the performance for as low as one-tenth the cost of a traditional backbone router -- also received the Data Communications 'Best of Show' award at the recent Atlanta NetWorld+Interop show and has been designated by Data Communications as a 'product leader'. ''We're very proud to be recognized by Data Communications for having the industry's most innovative and technically advanced network infrastructure solutions,'' said Ron Sege, 3Com's senior vice president of Enterprise Systems.
