LAS VEGAS - Interop Las Vegas 2012 - Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider will be showcasing its next-generation data center switches, CloudEngine 12800, at Interop Las Vegas. With the industry's largest switching capacity and highest performance, the CloudEngine series provide a better way for global enterprises to tap into the opportunities presented by the rise of cloud computing and ICT convergence. In addition to showcasing its latest innovations, Huawei will leverage its industry-leading, high reliability and high security campus solutions to power networking connectivity for Interop attendees and exhibitors at the event venue as one of two core network providers selected by the organizer.
"As one of the leading business technology events, Interop is an important platform for us to showcase our advanced products and expand our business globally," said William Xu, CEO of Huawei Enterprise Business Group. "We are excited to introduce the CloudEngine 12800, Huawei's latest data center switches that provide the industry's highest performance and help customers build scalable, virtualized and converged data canter networks in the cloud computing era."
Huawei will conduct demonstrations on its innovations and capabilities in IP infrastructure, unified communications and collaboration, data center and cloud computing solutions at the show. Key highlights at Interop include:
- Industry's Highest-performance Next-generation Data Center Switches -
CloudEngine 12800 series core switches provide large switching capacity
of up to 48Tbps, three times the industry average, and bandwidth of
2Tbps per slot which is twice the industry average. The CloudEngine
12800 series core switches and the CloudEngine 5800/6800 Top-of-Rack
(TOR) switches support high-density connectivity for 100GE, 40GE, 10GE
and GE interfaces, as well as network virtualization and computing,
storage and network convergence. The CloudEngine series can support
evolution of four generations of servers over a 10 year span, helping
customers build a sustainable center network infrastructure with
long-term stability.
- Advanced Full-view Telepresence - The industry's first full-view
telepresence system, Huawei's next-generation Telepresence solution
features the smallest screen gap (5.5mm) for stunning full-picture image
display to provide users with the most immersive experience. New
innovations also make bandwidth, power and space consumption
significantly lower than industry average, cutting down the total cost
of ownership (TCO) by 30%. By the end of 2011, Huawei had shipped over
2,100 Telepresence systems globally, and is the world's second largest
provider according to Frost & Sullivan's market data.
"The deployment of Cloud-based services brings with it extreme network challenges in the areas of traffic growth, service scale and manageability. With the announcement of the Cloud Fabric Architecture and CloudEngine 12000 series, Huawei is addressing the needs of this environment by providing customers a solid reference architecture and a highly scalable, converged and fully virtualized platform. This innovative approach will provide mid market through high end enterprise customers the foundation for a customizable network environment managed with a single fabric interface," said Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst, ZK Research.
As one of Interop's two core network providers, Huawei built a highly reliable campus network for the show. With security features designed throughout for control, management, user, business and applications, as well as the use of real-time monitoring and management provided by the next-generation enterprise O&M solution eSight, Huawei's campus network will power networking connectivity for over 350 exhibitors and over 15,000 attendees at Interop. This will provide secure and stable access to the wired/wireless connectivity for IP voice, video and, data services.
"Leveraging our deep expertise in cloud computing and ICT convergence, Huawei Enterprise is uniquely positioned to provide a better way forward for enterprise organizations," said David He, President of Marketing, Huawei Enterprise.
