Huawei unveils All-Cloud Network architecture

Huawei unveiled its All-Cloud Network architecture for enterprises at last week’s CeBIT 2017, in a bid to help enterprises accelerate their digital transformation.

The vendor’s new architecture is comprised of three parts – ubiquitous connections, an open cloud platform and a social technology industry application.

The architecture consists of CloudFabric – designed to build a simple, efficient, and open cloud data center network as well as CloudDCI to build an on-demand and smart data center interconnection network based on cloud services.

The portfolio also includes CloudCampus, which aims to enable cloud management of the network throughout the entire lifecycle, from network deployment to O&M, as well as all Wi-Fi access in the campus network. CloudEPN meanwhile includes on-demand value-added network services for enterprises.

Finally, Edge-Computing-IoT (EC-IoT) is a security solution designed to meet predictive maintenance requirements and enable digital transformation for vertical industries.

“Digital transformation not only means applying new technologies such as cloud computing, SDN, and NFV, but also involves reforming business models, operational modes, and thinking patterns,” said Kevin Hu, president of Huawei Switch & Enterprise Gateway product line.

“The All-Cloud Network architecture will deliver ubiquitous connections, an open cloud platform, and social technology industry applications to enterprises. In addition, it will simplify network resource management and enhance the value of network data. All of these factors will create an open network for enterprises to reap business benefits with tremendous potential.”
