Telecom Lead India: Huawei has launched multiple
enterprise products at CeBIT 2012. The new products will assist the Chinese
gear maker to increase revenue from enterprise business. Huawei Enterprise
global sales contracts totaled $3.8 billion in 2011, up from $2 billion in
2010.
The new products include S9700 series high-end switches
(3 models), S5700-LI series mid-range switches (8 models), AR200/150 series
enterprise access routers (7 models), WLAN products (7 models of ACs and APs),
Open Service Platform (OSP) forum and TecalTM V2 servers (6 models) that are
supported by Intel Xeon E5 processors.
“When it comes to designing hardware solutions, we
approach innovation from the viewpoint of our customers, examining what their
specific needs are in terms of features and operability. Our new WLAN products,
switches, routers and servers embody this focus on the customer and we are
confident that our enhanced product portfolio will set new industry
standards,” said David He, president of Marketing, Huawei Enterprise.
A press release from Huawei said that the S9700/S5700-LI
series switches supplement Huawei’s campus network products. The S9700 provides
a 320 Gbps per slot switching capacity and the highest 10GE/40GE port density
to cope with the high-definition video services and fast-developing 10G cloud
campus. The S5700-LI follows an energy-conservation design principle, adopting
an innovative port sleeping, hibernate and awakening technology to reduce the
total power consumption by over 40 percent.
Huawei eSight enterprise network management software will
help enterprises manage and maintain their network devices on a unified basis
and improve network service quality. The 7 models of AR200/150 enterprise
access routers offer various industry-leading wireless network solutions for
customers to choose from.
The AR G3 routers are supported by multi-core CPUs and
non-blocking switching network and integrate voice, data, and security services
on one device. This all-in-one design extends cloud-based services to
enterprise branch networks, while reducing customer’s investment by 30 percent.
In addition, the AR G3 routers are based on the Open Service Platform (OSP),
allowing partners and end customers to customize based on their needs and
requirements.
The WLAN products Huawei launched today are the only WLAN
devices that provide fine-grained QoS control based on user groups. This
mechanism provides differentiated services for each WiFi user. Enterprises and
WiFi service providers can use flexible QoS policies to guarantee QoS for
high-priority users.
These new products launched today provide more flexible
choices for enterprises to keep pace with the fast development of cloud
computing, WiFi, and smart terminal technologies in the 10G cloud campus and
enterprise mobility era.
“Huawei will continuously increase investment in the
enterprise network market and devote our efforts to providing competitive
products and solutions though constant innovation,” said Liu Shaowei,
president of Huawei Enterprise network product line.
