The FINANCIAL — On March 11, at the 2016 MPLS&SDN&NFV World Congress, Huawei announced that it has successfully participated in the European Advanced Networking Test Center’s (EANTC) interoperability test. Huawei has tested all the three fields of SDN, IP/MPLS, and clock synchronization and performed well. This shows Huawei‘s position as the industry leader in the SDN era.
EANTC drew on its understanding of the mobile operator industry and strict testing methods developed over many years to design test cases based on actual usage scenarios on operator networks. Four Huawei device types were tested, including the SDN Agile Controller, NetMatrix orchestrator, and the NE40E and ATN series routers. Over 20 interoperability tests with more than 11 vendors’ devices were completed. Huawei tested more devices in more fields than any other vendor, and the wide range of tests included everything from PCE and EVPN to clock synchronization. Huawei’s results were impressive, according to Huawei.
Carsten Rossenhoevel, co-founder and managing director of EANTC, stated, “Huawei has actively participated in EANTC’s interoperability tests for over ten years. Huawei performed well in this test, proving its ability to interoperate successfully with many other vendors’ devices. This is a reflection of Huawei’s commitment to the promotion and research of cutting-edge technology as an industry leader. We hope to continue cooperation with Huawei and development in the field.”
Gai Gang, President of the Router & Carrier Ethernet Product Line at Huawei, said, “The results of this test show that Huawei’s end-to-end SDN solution is an open, state-of-the-art technology. Huawei will continue its efforts in the research and development of commercial applications of SDN as well as joint innovation. Huawei is ready to work with EANTC and other industry partners to advance SDN standard formulation and commercial deployment. We will create more intelligent, more open networks and construct the best user experience for a better connected world.”
As one of the leaders in SDN and NFV development, Huawei has taken part in SDN and NFV projects around the world, and has worked with more than 20 of the world’s top 50 operators on varied projects covering data centers, WANs, enterprise leased lines, and metro edges. Huawei has worked together with companies in all parts of the industry chain in promoting the development of SDN and NFV and creating new business opportunities.
