SHENZHEN, China, July 15, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Industry's first campus switch to win the award

Huawei's flagship CloudEngine S12700E won the coveted "Frost & Sullivan 2020

Global Campus Switch Enabling Technology Leadership Award" with the highest

score -- an astounding 9.6 out of 10. Never before has a campus switch received

this award, signifying the industry-leading strengths and differentiators of

Huawei switches.

A world-renowned consulting company, Frost & Sullivan brings together a panel

of judges once a year to comprehensively evaluate products of different vendors

based on two factors: technology leverage and customer impact. And based on the

evaluation results, Frost & Sullivan awards the Enabling Technology Leadership

Award to vendors who have demonstrated impressive leadership, technological

innovation, customer service support, and strategic product development,

helping enterprise IT decision makers make more informed purchase decisions.

In this year's award selection, Frost & Sullivan comprehensively researched and

evaluated the flagship campus switches from mainstream vendors. After 10 rounds

of selection by a judging panel made up of thought leaders, industry experts,

and research directors, Huawei CloudEngine S12700E was singled out for its

industry-leading hardware architecture, switching performance, experience

assurance, and O&M simplicity. Specifically, CloudEngine S12700E ranks first in

both technology leverage (9.7 points) and customer impact (9.5 points).

"Huawei is committed to providing the most advanced campus network solutions

and switches for global enterprise customers across all industries. We're

delighted that Huawei's CloudEngine S12700E has won this prestigious award,

which signifies that Huawei campus switches are widely recognized by global

customers and industry experts," said Li Xing, President of the Campus Network

Domain, Huawei Data Communication Product Line. "In the future, we will remain

steadfast in our commitment to customer centricity and continued innovation,

and persist in helping customers embrace a fully connected campus network to

accelerate their digital transformation journey. We are also hugely grateful

for the insights shared by customers and experts during the selection of the

Enabling Technology Leadership Award."

The unanimous trust from customers and experts is attributed to the leading

performance and numerous innovations of Huawei's flagship CloudEngine S12700E

switch.

- CloudEngine S12700E adopts an innovative architecture that separates the

control plane from the switching plane. This allows bandwidth to be increased

by simply upgrading the switch fabric unit (SFU). What's more, the CloudEngine

S12700E reaches an all-time high switching capacity of 57.6 Tbps, six times the

industry average(Tolly Test Report (https://e.huawei.com/en/material/networking/1a0e294b69d54380b5ec85902014f2d5 )).

This paves the way for the network evolution of large enterprise

campuses over the next decade.

- CloudEngine S12700E innovatively introduces a cell switching mechanism that

achieves non-blocking, lossless data forwarding based on dynamic load

balancing. This design efficiently resolves the congestion problem faced by

conventional hash algorithm-based packet switching technologies, and in doing

so ensures the service experience of network-wide users.

- Designed with the industry-leading native wireless access controller (WAC)

feature, CloudEngine S12700E implements wired and wireless convergence by

managing a maximum of 10,240 wireless access points (APs) and supporting 50,000

concurrent users. It is the ideal core switch for fully-wireless campus

networks in the Wi-Fi 6 era.

Up until now, Huawei CloudEngine S series campus switches have served more than

1500 campus network customers worldwide across sectors such as government,

education, finance, energy, transportation, manufacturing, and retail, helping

them achieve their digital transformation goals.
