CEO Michael Klayko has led Brocade since 2005.

Wed, December 08, 2010 - Marius Haas, senior vice president and general manager of HP Networking, has had a good year. In 2010, Hewlett-Packard closed its acquisition of 3Com, dramatically expanding its networking portfolio and sales, and also continued to log progress with its own LAN products. In the company's fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Oct. 31, HP's networking revenue grew 227 percent with the former 3Com portfolio included. Even without the new offerings, sales grew 50 percent from a year earlier. This week, Haas took time to talk with IDG News Service about that growth and the company's vision for networking.
