HighByte vs. Huawei Ethernet Switches

Huawei switches are ideal for cases where performance is not essential, for low traffic solutions and for equipment management. It is not recommended for situations of high performance and stress, immediate availability and high scalability. It is also not advisable to use them in solutions that involve hardware from other brands, the integration of Huawei with Cisco, for example, is very traumatic and the results were not optimal in my case.

• Scalability
• High throughput links
• Redundancy of links with resilient protocols
• Fast switching in the event of a redundant link failure.

• One of our switches encounted a hardware defect after 6 months of use (but was replaced within warranty)
• The switches appear to get hotter than what I would expect under normal use

The switches perform very well in our core backbone and also in metro Ethernet networks. We are able to provide high service availability and greater resilience for our customers. The switches also provide high performance in several data centers where we have a presence focused on IX exchange. They are also very useful as CPEs.

The performance of Huawei is lower than Cisco, but initially the costs inclined the decision towards Huawei, but unfortunately, it was not, the licenses and the manager fired the investment to make it very similar to cisco. Therefore it is preferable to go to the Cisco switches for reliability and robustness.
