H3C router has become the leader in the routing Industry

With the development of the routing industry, the market is also increasing, and the competition among various manufacturers is becoming more intense. Here we mainly analyze the development status of H3C routers, let you have a deep understanding of H3C. Constantly challenging yourself is the driving force for the development of all outstanding enterprises. Hangzhou H3C Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (H3C) started from its network product line. In just a few years, it has become the leader in China's network market and the most competitive manufacturer.

As the largest provider of network equipment and solutions in China, the sales revenue of H3C routers was USD 0.757 billion last year. Starting from the original H3C router exchange, the H3C router now has four product lines: network equipment, multimedia, storage, and security based on IP technology. This year, H3C not only continued to flourish in the market, but also began to keep pace with the global strategy. The open business network is the future product concept proposed by H3C. It is worth noting that the open business network will not only lead to a series of changes in H3C internal product R & D, it will also lead to a series of changes in its channels and markets. So how will H3C break through in the future when global network infrastructure is homogeneous and integrated into a development trend?

From Layer 3 to Layer 4 to Layer 7, network infrastructure not only gradually increases, but also begins to integrate more and more functions into the all-in-one model. From a single product to an open architecture, the biggest change in network products also lies in convergence, which not only integrates their own devices, but also third-party products. There are various trends in integration, so how will H3C develop under the general trend of integration?

Liu Baohua: since its establishment, H3C has grown rapidly. In terms of both market and sales, H3C has gradually matured in the company's development path and strategic philosophy. The recently proposed open business network has aroused the attention of the industry. Of course, open networks are not just about H3C. internationally renowned network companies are also talking about this topic. So what kind of considerations does H3C propose to open business networks?

Sun de: after several years of efforts, H3C has indeed made great progress. We believe that the development of H3C can be attributed to "Innovation ". As you said, in today's Homogeneous Competition for most products, only innovation can go to the blue ocean. By focusing on R & D and market strength, researching market trends, technological trends and user needs, and continuously innovating, H3C continuously makes breakthroughs in its core proprietary intellectual property rights. In the network field, h3C router, ICG gateway, OCS open communication system, integrated mobile network solution, operable and manageable wireless broadband network solution, iMC smart management center, EAD solution, virtual campus network solution, data Center Solutions, etc, both are H3C innovations in the network product line, and its major component is the H3C open business network.

In terms of technical trends, standardization forms the basis for opening up to network devices. Let's think about the 60 s and 1970s s in the last century. We can say that there were no professional network products at that time, and all the interconnected functions were completed by the CPU of the host. When computing tasks are completed, the host's CPU also needs to run various interconnection protocols to achieve networking between the host and the host. At that time, there were no TCP/IP and Ethernet devices, and no professional network devices. The birth of professional H3C routers and switches was about to take place in the 1980s S. Ethernet and TCP/IP won the world with their simplicity and efficiency and gave birth to a new industry-the data communication industry. In just 20 years, the speed of a single vswitch interface ranges from 10 m to 10G to the current 10G. The H3C router has evolved from a small box to a multi-frame cascade TSR product. The rapid development of the data communication industry owes all of this to "Standardization". You can say that "Once standardization occurs, it can be networked ".

The reason is very simple. After standardization, we can use professional chips and products to complete specific functions, which can be faster, lower cost, and more powerful. After integration over the past few years, we can see that many protocols have been standardized, and we can boldly predict that the future communication world will be mainly supported by the following protocols: Ethernet, IP, SIP and XML/HTML. The standardization of these protocols from Layer 2 to Layer 7 will give the network an Open Foundation. From the perspective of the entire industry, network equipment providers, middleware providers, enterprise application software providers, and even online Internet Service Providers penetrate into and compete with each other, and these trends will have a great impact on the industrial chain. This is also why we have to go the road to open the network and achieved initial results.

As a product concept of H3C, open business network is similar to the open network concept proposed by Cisco and Juniper this year. However, H3C further refined the three layers of open business networks, giving the industry a clearer picture of the future development roadmap of open business networks. In the Application intelligent network platform stage, H3C will open the network infrastructure and integrate application security, application optimization, application integration, and other services into the network platform to achieve intelligent application of the network platform, enhance the core competitiveness of H3C routers and bring innovative value to customers. In the "flexible business network platform" phase, the H3C router will open an Intelligent Management Interface Based on the SOA architecture, that is, our iMC platform, so that customers and integrators can meet the needs of specific industries, the network platform and user services can be called each other to customize and optimize the business system. From the overall perspective, we have passed the first stage, which is in the second and third stages. Because the second and third phases overlap, the development degree is different. Currently, all H3C R & D plans are implemented in Stages 2 and 3.

Take the router product line as an example. The anti-virus security module of the H3C router has the following features: strong anti-virus scanning capabilities, easy deployment, low cost, and convenient configuration management; the ssl vpn Module can implement a remote access solution without a client, which greatly facilitates users' mobile work. However, the WAAMWAN Application Acceleration Module) by using TCP acceleration, data compression, Dynamic Caching, IP traffic management, layer-7 QoS, and other advanced acceleration technologies, the WAN service latency is greatly reduced, the WAN data transmission speed is increased by several times to dozens of times.

In addition, OCEOpen Communications Engine, which can be integrated on the H3C router, is the core component of the H3C IP integrated communication solution, build a standard IP communication service platform for enterprises and open standard service interfaces such as SIP, SOAP, VSAPI, and XML to facilitate the integration of IP communication services with other enterprise application systems. OCE provides powerful IP-PBX, conference, IM and other business capabilities, and various business components work together through standard protocols. By opening up, H3C routers have become a network platform integrating application security, application optimization, and application integration, completely revolutionizing the concept of traditional H3C routers.

In terms of exchange product lines, at present, H3C routers can integrate new services such as wireless controllers, Passive Optical Networks, 10-gb firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, application control gateways, Server Load balancer, abnormal traffic cleaning, ssl vpn, and NetStream on high-end switches. board, provides a solution that integrates multiple services. Through these innovations of H3C high-end switches, users can expand and use these new services as easily as they used the LAN, which makes H3C switches no longer just a high-performance forwarding platform, it is an intelligent application network platform that provides customers with richer, safer, and more optimized application experience.
