Huawei routing/switching set to take SA market by storm

Johannesburg, 28 Jul 2006

Long have we awaited an alternative to Cisco. A powerful backbone network is important to support the future network expansion and maintain quality in speed and reliability to meet increasing demand and Huawei is the perfect fit.

Besides the fact that Huawei perfectly addresses the low and mid-range routing and switching market at a greatly reduced cost, Huawei offers a very powerful package to combat a market currently dominated by Cisco.

Non-blocking broadband applications and real-time triple play over IP (data/voice/video convergence) is now becoming mandatory. Huawei 10GE and AR46 Core Routers serve to meet these requirements for enterprise networks right from the network backbone.

However, even with broadband access today, delay and unstable connection is common and can hamper real-time transmission for time-sensitive services like voice and video. Now, many enterprises recognise the urgent need from their core network for 10GE and AR46 to enhance their competitiveness.

Why is 10GE important to South Africa?

After more than 30 years since Ethernet was first invented, the application of Ethernet has evolved tremendously; it is no long restricted to LAN, but can also cover MAN and is fast occupying most of the data network volume.

The 1GE launched a few years ago is already mainstream application of Ethernet network in many countries. Now with 10GE switches, it is becoming the main devices of core and convergent layers. It is in response to market demand that Huawei`s trend-setting 10GE solution will meet future requirement for speed. Most significantly, the Huawei 10GE switches have advanced intelligent and resilient functions to detect the very detailed dynamic changes in the network situation and in response to the network changes, formulate intelligent strategic feedback in resource allocation, all automatically. 10GE will prove to be extremely important for South Africa to equip the enterprise networks with powerful network that is ready to meet advanced needs for today and tomorrow.

Huawei 10GE can help build up a powerful network for South Africa!

Huawei 10GE solutions are bringing network applications to a new height for future growth and expansion with high-speed, non-blocking, rich features, multi-services and seamless upgrade. Huawei S5600, S6500 and S8500 series switches can create end-to-end coverage of a 10GE platform from access, aggregation to core layer.

10GE is still new to the market but many industries and enterprises already recognise the urgent need to implement 10GE. Huawei products have extensive global applications for the government, education and finance industries to build up powerful backbone network as well as metro solutions. Huawei 10GE next-generation switching solutions can meet demand for speed for the coming years. The 10GE solutions will effectively meet the increasing demand for data volume and voice and video over IP network. These devices are catering to the future technology trend ahead, offering non-blocking, more secure, rich services, high bearing and expansible network.
