Huawei CloudEngine Data Center Switches vs. Lumen Ethernet

The focus of the solution is datacenter, so it is a waste of resources to use them as SOHO or as access switches. All your robustness needs to be used correctly, so that there is no wasted investment. I also note that, as good practices, it is necessary to ensure redundancy and availability of assets and connections, so the investment is high, even more so if you need to mix fiber and twisted pair solutions.

It is well suited based on our experience for small-scale projects where there are not very critical production-related activities happening. It will be easy to control and handle within a small set of deployments or platforms such as mobile-related activities. I don't recommend it for large server-scale deployment because we have seen inconsistencies with the connectivity of services.

• Documentation, like every huawei product, needs improvement
• The official training of this solution is extremely boring and theoretical. It is necessary to make something more practical and useful in everyday life.
• As it is a line for datacenters, I believe that the product needs a better development in its chassis. It seems very fragile to me.

The Huawei CloudEngine Data Center Switches solution, as the name implies, is aimed at Datacenters and ToR applications. The development of such equipment was all designed to meet high processing loads and connections of servers, storages and other high-performance assets. The other solutions evaluated (and some we even have in our park) are for other purposes, such as access and edge.

AT&T I would say is the leader within this area in terms of handling any large-scale deployments and their services are awesome. No connectivity issues at all and no latency in feedback. Server deployments are handled very effectively, that's not the case with century link. Of course, security is second to none with AT&T.

• The investment ensured a better response, at the network level, of the applications
• Support for 60 months guarantees better predictability when evaluating new investments of this type.
• Product redundancy ensures greater availability of the entire infrastructure and applications, thus reducing downtime.

• Positive: After configuration and initial setup service has been great. We have a call center running off the service and calls have much less jitter now.
• Positive: Fiber speeds have helped us execute daily tasks quicker.
• Negative: Much time and money wasted on the initial configuration and setup.
