SHENZHEN, China, March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Huawei is proud to announce that it was named a 2021 Gartner Peer Insights

Customers' Choice for WAN Edge Infrastructure — the only Chinese company to

receive this distinction. We believe it demonstrates the widespread recognition

of Huawei's SD-WAN solution from customers worldwide.

On Gartner Peer Insights, Huawei has earned an overall rating of 4.8/5 stars as

of December 31, 20201 for its HUAWEI CloudWAN (HUAWEI SD-WAN) solution. This

impressive result is based on factual reviews from 58 customers1 across a wide

variety of sectors, such as finance, communications, manufacturing, and

services. These reviews praise Huawei's products and solutions — including

NetEngine AR series enterprise routers and iMaster NCE (a campus network

management and control system) — in terms of product functionality, deployment,

O&M, and service support.

Gartner Peer Insights is an online platform of ratings and reviews of IT

software and services that are written and read by IT professionals and

technology decision-makers. The goal is to help IT leaders make more insightful

purchase decisions and help technology providers improve their products by

receiving objective, unbiased feedback from their customers. Currently, Gartner

Peer Insights includes more than 255,000 verified reviews in more than 355

markets.

The overall messages from customers who chose Huawei's SD-WAN solution are

extremely positive. Here are some excerpts:

-The CloudWAN provides a good solution for interconnection between the overall

branch and DC in Japan, to fulfil high speed remote access requirement.

Furthermore, the O&M experience is literally good, as it guarantees the normal

operation of the overall solution. The O&M system describes the major

activities in different phases of the O&M lifecycle, including the detailed

process of ZTP and the monitoring and visualization of key information such as

alarms and link statuses during system running, thereby improving the O&M

efficiency of enterprise network." (As of December 19, 2020 ) — IT Engineer in

-"Huawei's solution provides a unified WAN management platform to centrally

manage and configure all devices on the entire network, reducing the number of

IT personnel in branches. In addition, the NetEngine AR provides a high-quality

network that matches financial services. The NetEngine AR plays a key role in

providing good performance, security features, and WAN optimization." —
