The ongoing back-and-forth between Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. to acquire 3Par Inc. highlighted action in the tech sector Friday as H-P quickly topped Dell’s latest bid for the data-storage company. Hewlett-Packard Co. is boosting its bid for 3Par by 11 percent to $1.88 billion, topping Dell Inc.’s offer and again raising the stakes in the bidding contest for the data storage company.

The $30-per-share offer is worth three times the price of 3Par before Dell made its first bid last week, for $18 per share, or $1.13 billion.

Dell and 3Par said earlier Friday that 3Par’s board has accepted the latest bid from Dell, which only has to match the terms of other offers under its initial agreement with 3Par.

In early trading, 3Par shares surged $5.40, or 21 percent, to $31.43.

Its InServ storage servers consist of InSpire architecture, a storage array for open systems; InServ T-Class storage servers for enterprise and cloud computing storage infrastructures; and InServ F-Class storage servers for traditional midrange storage arrays.
