Huawei unveiled its All-Cloud Network architecture for enterprises at CeBIT 2017. The company says the All-Cloud Network architecture will help enterprises accelerate their digital transformation.
"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. Huawei provides the All-Cloud Network specific to industry application scenarios to help our enterprise customers achieve business success. This is the ultimate goal of Huawei's All-Cloud Network architecture," 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.”
Ubiquitous, open, social
Huawei's All-Cloud Network architecture is comprised of three parts:
- Ubiquitous connections: The data center fully connects the people, things, data and applications in campus, branch, and IoT scenarios.
- Open cloud platform: Networks are managed on the cloud to enable rapid service deployment, and simplified O&M. Centralized scheduling of resources improves efficiency. Open APIs allow interconnections with network devices and industry-specific applications, making industrial extension convenient and further innovating business models.
- Social technology industry application: uses cloud-based big data analytics to provide rich industry-specific SaaS services, making applications no longer isolated, and allowing the benefits of digitalization brought by networks, applications, and data to be shared between enterprises and users, enterprises and enterprises, and users and users.
