Huawei launches new intelligent cloud-network solutions

Huawei unveiled three new IP networking solutions at their annual regional flagship event, which was held at Atlantis, the Palm, Dubai, with an aim to empower Middle East enterprises with super computing power and intelligence to accelerate digital transformation across industries.

Huawei launched CloudFabric 3.0, Huawei SD-WAN, and CloudCampus 3.0 solutions on day one of the Huawei IP Club Carnival MENA 2022, recognizing the need to keep up with ever-changing customer scenarios.

The event, themed ‘Cloud-Network Synergy, Build a Deterministic Experience Network,’ brought together Huawei’s global and regional experts, industry analysts, and customers and partners to discuss the latest network technology trends and discover how enterprises can best prepare for the intelligent era and inject new momentum into their digital development ambitions.

Pawan Jain, Director, Technology Consulting, PwC Middle East, spoke at the event about network technology trends, opportunities and key enablers and added – “Adapting to the wave of emerging technology is key to drive differentiation in IT strategy, optimize cost and compete effectively in the future. True potential of these innovative technology solutions can only be realized with intelligent & cloud-ready network infrastructure.” 

Launching the new solutions at the event, Faisal Ameer Malik, CTO, Huawei Enterprise Group, Middle East said: “Intelligent IP networks – connecting things on one end and applications on the other end – have now become the cornerstone for digital transformation across industries. As enterprise digital transformation picks up speed, IP networks need to keep pace with the evolving cloud technologies and enterprise demands. Our new solutions aim to address these challenges; with its launch, we are reaffirming our relentless efforts to develop scenario-tailored solutions for partners and customers, creating new drivers for digitalization across industries.” 

The following three new solutions were rolled out at the event: 

CloudFabric 3.0, Hyper-Converged Data Center Solution, with key characteristics of “Fast” and “Stable,” is ideal for building best-in-class data center networks, assisting enterprises in ushering in a service center with super computing power. This feature-rich solution includes the industry’s only L3.5 autonomous driving network, which is required to propel enterprise data centers toward multi-cloud and multi-DC architectures. Another highlight is Huawei’s proprietary AIFABRIC technology, which enables data center switches to ensure zero packet loss, high reliability, low latency, and high throughput, facilitating the transition to an all-ethernet Datacenter.

In the cloud era, Software-Defined (SD)-WAN is an obvious choice for connecting enterprise branches, headquarters, and multiple clouds. Huawei’s SD-WAN Solution offers powerful networking, a superior user experience, and simplified O&M capabilities, meeting the WAN interconnection needs of businesses of all sizes, as well as carriers and service providers.

CloudCampus 3.0 Solution builds on ongoing advancements in the WLAN, LAN Switch, and SD-WAN fields and introduces a slew of all-new products, including AirEngine 6761 Access Points, CloudEngine S8700 switches, and NetEngine AR6710 routers. As a result, CloudCampus 3.0 distinguishes itself by providing enterprises with “300 Mbps @ Everywhere” access and doubling cloud access efficiency. CloudCampus 3.0’s strengths enable it to be widely used in industries such as education, healthcare, finance, and energy, assisting enterprises in reducing time-to-market and improving operational efficiency.

Huawei also demonstrated its HiSec 3.0 Solution, which performs network monitoring and drills down network behavior data to detect threats as early as possible and resolve issues as quickly as possible. For starters, traditional signature-based static analysis methods are incapable of detecting new threats. Huawei brings big data analytics to security and employs the deep neural network algorithm and machine learning technology to shift from reactive to proactive defense. Second, in order to prevent horizontal threat diffusion on the intranet, Huawei integrates security into the network and presents the industry’s first network + security network-wide defense solution, achieving the transformation from single-point defense to network-wide defense.

Huawei IP Club Carnival MENA 2022, held on the 8th and 9th of June at Atlantis, the Palm in Dubai, is the company’s annual regional flagship event dedicated to the IP networking industry, showcasing Huawei’s new groundbreaking IP products and solutions.
