01Preface: State-owned banks must provide not only deposit and loan services, but they also must reform, transform,

and offer diversified services to meet new challenges. In fact, some competitive state-owned banks have been

actively upgrading their software and hardware to increase service types and improve processing efficiency to cope

with increasingly fierce competition.

In Fair Weather Prepare for Foul: ABC Network ReconstructionHuawei Helps ABC Build a First Class Data Center Network

Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), China's first state-owned commercial bank, has earned high recognition. In 2012,

ABC was ranked No. 84 in Fortune's Global 500 and No. 5 in the Banker's "Top 1000 World Banks" list in terms of

profit before tax for the year 2011.

Regardless of these high rankings, ABC still needs a development strategy to deepen its bank reform and service

transformation to successfully compete.

Network Upgrade Prior to Release of a New Service System

In 2012, ABC decided to optimize and reconstruct their network to provide access for three data centers, five service

processing centers, more than 20,000 business outlets, and hundreds of thousands of employees, and implement

the Integrated Operation Big Platform strategy. In this environment, ABC plans to launch a new-generation global

core service system.

A data center network is the core of the entire bank system; therefore, it gains top priority during the bank system's

upgrade and reconstruction. The core service system will be released to meet service development needs over

the next five years, but only when the network infrastructure meets the demands for bank reform and service

transformation.

ABC has established its business outlets in cities and towns all over China, with 23,472 branch outlets, including

the Head Office, the Business Department of the Head Office, three specialized institutions managed by the Head

Office, 37 tier-1 branches (including branches directly managed by the Head Office), 348 tier-2 branches (including

business departments of branches in provinces), 3,482 tier-1 sub-branches (including business departments in

municipalities, business departments of branches directly managed by the Head Office and business departments of

tier-2 branches), and 19,600 other establishments. ABC's international branch outlets consist of four branches and

five representative offices. ABC also has nine Chinese subsidiaries and three international subsidiaries.

ABC's network architecture is complex, with large differences for Chinese business outlets and international

institutions, and the network architecture is difficult to optimize and upgrade.

Huawei, with industry-leading products and solutions, rich network delivery experience, and a positive brand image,

won the bid for ABC's network reconstruction. Huawei plans to reconstruct ABC's entire network architecture,

CloudEngine, Power The Cloud 4 3

covering the tier-1 backbone network and all 36 tier-1 branch data centers. Huawei plans to use only one physical

network to carry production and office services, implementing network convergence. The reconstruction project is

estimated to last for two years, with the entire project scheduled for completion in 2014.

Huawei Offers Strong Support for ABC's Smooth Network Reconstruction

Presently, ABC's data center network architecture is as follows:

• Each branch's production network has eight zones, and the office network has five zones.

• Two separate sets of physically isolated networks carry out production and office services, with some overlapping

functions.

• Firewalls are deployed between different service zones to ensure security control of service flows.

Huawei comprehensively researched ABC's current network status and planned a structural adjustment of its data

center network architecture to successfully implement network upgrade and reconstruction. Huawei designed a

network architecture based on the principle of Multiple Centers for Multiple Areas to ensure fast disaster recovery,

implementing 24x7 service capability. All core devices use a redundant design, such as dual main control boards,

multiple switch fabric units, and power modules, to achieve 99.999% reliability at the core nodes. The network

reconstruction covers the tier-1 backbone network as well as the 36 tier-1 branch data centers.

The first aim of network reconstruction is to solve the functional overlap between the production network and the

office network. Huawei plans to combine production and office network zones that provide identical functions to

reduce the number of network zones from 13 to 6. Combination of network zones largely simplifies ABC's network

architecture and increases scalability. The combined network zones have higher security requirements; therefore,

Huawei will deploy firewalls at the local access zones, open platform zones, and development test zones to improve

security control of service flows.

The second aim is to transmit services more smoothly and securely. Huawei uses the same Local Area Network (LAN)

and extranet for the production network and office network, which are connected to different Wide Area Networks

(WANs). Important core nodes support hot standby to improve network reliability. Meanwhile, Huawei deploys high-

performance CE12800 switches at the core and aggregation layers to ensure non-blocking service forwarding.

The third aim is to simplify network architecture with clear hierarchy. Each zone network uses a three-layer

architecture: core layer, aggregation layer, and access layer.

The project involves reconstructing ABC's entire network. Currently, network reconstruction and commissioning have

finished in some pilot branches where new devices were deployed for a trial period. It is estimated that the entire

project will be delivered in 2014. The target network combines the production network and office network by using

only one physical network for both production and office services.

After network reconstruction, Huawei will deploy CE12800 data center switches, S9700 switches, and high-end

NE40E routers on ABC's network. After CE12800 switches are deployed, the core network bandwidth will be

upgraded from 2.5 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s, which can further be smoothly upgraded to 100 Gbit/s to embrace 10G

switching network era. Network bandwidth will be sufficient and accessible by three data centers, five service

processing centers, more than 20,000 business outlets, and hundreds of thousands of employees. Switch loads

will be 10% of their total capacity or lower. In addition, the reconstructed network will ensure a successful launch

and stable operation of the new-generation core service system and service transformation, meeting ABC's service

development needs over the next five years.

Huawei Teams Up with Ancheng Insurance to Build a High-End NetworkHuawei Assists Ancheng Insurance in Deploying a Highly Efficient, Reliable, and Secure Data Center Network

Insurance Industry Association of Zhejiang Province, China, recently released a list ranking automobile insurance

claim handling speed. Ancheng Property Insurance Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Branch was ranked first for the second time

among 25 property insurance companies in the entire insurance industry, a result of making huge investments in

building the company's infrastructure to provide high-quality insurance services.

Founded in December 29, 2006, Ancheng Insurance, headquartered in Chongqing, Southwest China, is the only

professional property insurance company in China with "Safety" as its policy. By provisioning high-quality services,

Ancheng Insurance has made a significant breakthrough over the past seven years. Currently, Ancheng Insurance is a

large-scale insurance company, owning 113 branches across the country.

Ancheng Insurance Faces Considerable Challenges During Fast-Growing

Service Development

During its rapid service development, Ancheng Insurance faced a big challenge brought by the growing service data

to overall bandwidth of the company's production center infrastructure network.

The Ethernet technologies of the original production center infrastructure network architecture could not cope with

the company's rapid service development. Network resources could not be virtualized or automatically configured,

leading to such problems as inefficient use of resources, maintenance and management difficulties, and low

flexibility and scalability.

Ancheng Insurance's intranet security protection was weak, especially when the company's employees accessed

the Internet. Network devices in the Internet access zone and the third-party organization (including banks, industry

platform providers, and supervision organizations) access zone were incomplete and could not defend against

viruses, such as Trojan horses. There were many security risks in the company's intranet.

Core devices on the company's original production center network provided gigabit performance, so office

personnel often faced various problems. For example, the access rate to the company's systems and web pages was

slow, and some parts of the original links had single-point faults.

To solve these problems, Ancheng planned to build a new production center infrastructure network to serve the

company headquarters and support the company's core production and office systems. The new infrastructure

network needed to implement 24/7 continuous and stable operations to ensure security for all core production data.

Huawei Helps Ancheng Insurance Build a High-End Data Center

Network

To help Ancheng Insurance solve its network problems, Huawei leveraged its self-developed, innovative network

information system methodology and made a systematic evaluation of the live network in the following areas:

• Reliability and maturity

• Maintainability

• Availability and scalability

• Security

• Advancement

Huawei formulated a suite of solutions for Ancheng Insurance's data center service development, suitable for the

next 5 to 10 years and eventually won the bid for the production center network upgrade and reconstruction

project.

Modular, Flattened Network Solutions and High-Performance Switches

for Highly Efficient Data Transmission

In the overall network plan, Huawei used a modular design by dividing the production center network into specific

zones: Wireless Access Network (WAN) access zone, third-party organization access zone, public network access

zone, core switching control zone, database (DB) service zone, App service zone, and web service zone. This allowed

the Ancheng Insurance's production system to transmit multiple services and applications. The modular design

adapts to future network development.

The flattened two-layer (core and access) network architecture incorporates a core layer that features Huawei's

industry-leading CE12808 data center switch. Huawei's next-generation, energy-saving full gigabit S5700 Ethernet

switch at the access layer provides highly efficient data transmission. The CE12808 provides a forwarding capacity

of 2 Tbit/s per slot, four times the industry average, and uses 24 x 40 GE or 96 x 10 GE interface cards. The entire

CE12808 device provides a switching capacity of 64 Tbit/s, three times the industry average. The dynamic Clos

architecture implements large-scale, non-blocking switching in data centers. The switching capacity of the entire

device can be smoothly expanded to 100 Tbit/s, satisfying the requirement for a stable networking platform for the

next five to ten years.

Backup of Key Devices and Components, Ensuring High Network Reliability

To solve Ancheng Insurance's service interruption problem due to single-point faults on the network, Huawei

configured dual key devices. The main components of each of them work in redundancy backup mode, ensuring

high network reliability. The CE12808 uses industry-leading Cluster Switch System (CSS) technology, which virtualizes

a maximum of two physical switches into one logical switch to better facilitate network management and improve

reliability. Network devices in each zone are cross-connected to the core switch in the data center.

Multiple Core Technologies and 10GE Firewalls Protect Intranet Security

Ancheng Insurance attaches the highest importance to intranet security. To help the company enhance its intranet

security, Huawei created a global security design for the data center in which the core switching control zone

logically isolates DB, web, and App services using a full array of core device virtualization technologies to ensure

security and confidentiality among service systems. The CE12808 uses Virtual System (VS) technology to provide

a virtualization capability of 1:8. One switch can be virtualized into a maximum of eight logical switches, and one

USG5560 core firewall can be virtualized into a maximum of 100 virtual firewalls. The public network access zone

is deployed with high-performance UTM products (USG5150 series) and SSL VPN (SVN) products (SVN2260 series),

protecting the production center system from malware attacks and ensuring access security for mobile office

employees. The third-party access zone uses high-performance UTM products (USG5150 series), also protecting the

production center system from virus attacks.

By leveraging the production center infrastructure network reconstruction solution provided by Huawei, Ancheng

Insurance's production center network can adapt to the development requirements for a broad variety of services.

The network architecture is now more reliable and stable, and the network access rate is much higher than before.

Both network security and scalability have significantly increased. The new network is unified, open, and scalable. All

the devices deployed in Ancheng Insurance's production center network upgrade and reconstruction solution use

innovative energy-saving technologies, substantially reducing power consumption.

Huawei Helps APT Build the World's Most Reliable Cloud Computing Data Center NetworkThe rapid development of the Internet, especially mobile Internet, has led to a sharp increase in the amount of data

being processed by enterprises, such as e-commerce companies. As a result of this trend, data center workloads

are soaring. The application of cloud computing technology significantly enhances the traditional data center's core

capabilities for massive data computation, storage, and switching, bringing new business opportunities to cloud

computing data centers.

Customer Testimonial:

APT ultimately chose to partner with Huawei because we value Huawei's CloudEngine series next-generation data

center switches, their high-reliability, end-to-end data center products, and their cloud computing network solutions.

— Mr Hanrong Yao, Deputy General Manager of APT Datamatrix Limited

Since the establishment of the first cloud services by Amazon, cloud computing services have been rapidly developed

worldwide. In the United States, the government recently promoted cloud computing projects to avoid huge IT

expenditures. In China, the government lists cloud computing as one of the new strategic industries in its 12th "Five-

Year Plan" and sets Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Wuxi as the five pilot cities where cloud computing

service innovation and development will be implemented.

According to Gartner, total sales revenue generated by cloud computing services is predicted to reach US$150

billion by the end of 2013. According to Coda, a British research and consulting firm, by 2015, the cloud computing

market share will reach US$180 billion, and cloud computing expenditures will account for 17% of the world's IT

expenditures. Fast-growing cloud computing services throughout the world are evidence that cloud computing will

lead to a fourth IT industry transformation. Although some believe that the role of cloud computing is exaggerated,

many experts believe it is the future of computing services.

Providing excellent quality "one-stop-shop" transponders, satellite telecommunications, and satellite TV broadcasting

and transmission services to broadcasters and telecommunication customers for many years, APT Satellite Holdings

Limited (APT), a listed company in The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK) (Stock Code 1045), has also

begun providing cloud computing services. Taking its own service characteristics into consideration, APT has worked

out a blueprint and plans to provide all-around cloud computing data center services for its customers.

APT's Cloud Computing Data Center Blueprint

APT currently owns and operates five in-orbit satellites: APSTAR 1, APSTAR 1A, APSTAR 5, APSTAR 6, and APSTAR

7 (APSTAR Systems). The satellites cover regions in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia — approximately 75% of the

world's population.

APT's greatest advantage is its accumulated experience in the provisioning of"one-stop-shop" satellite services.

By leveraging this advantage, APT plans to extend its service concept to the strategy level. Aiming to take full

advantage of the huge business opportunities in data center services — primarily cloud services — APT decided

to build a cloud computing data center and connect it to the company's satellite communication facilities. Should

the connection to the data center on the ground fail, the backup system will be immediately activate to ensure all-

weather, uninterrupted services for customers with varied service requirements. This new system will greatly enhance

individual and enterprise customer trust in data security.

Mr. Qi Kezhi, vice president of APT, said the following about the goal of APT's cloud computing data center:

Enterprises in Hong Kong and Chinese-funded companies that come to invest in Hong Kong can centralize their

resources to develop innovative services and train personnel without putting large amounts of investments in

developing large data network infrastructure. Centered on the parent company's satellite communication service,

APT's data center will attract enterprises looking into satellite-related data services.

APT chose to build a high-end data center at APT Telecommunications Port in Tai Po Industrial Estate in Hong Kong,

more than 10 kilometers away from industrial and trading estates such as Tsuen Wan, Tseung Kwan O, and Chai

Wan, complying with the "Golden Distance" specified by international standards for data center backup.

APT also established a wholly owned subsidiary, APT Datamatrix Limited, with the aim of providing data center

services using its existing equipment. For example, APT Datamatrix Limited provides Value-Added Services (VASs),

including server hosting and chassis, server, and storage device rentals. APT hopes to provide a wider range of

services for its customers using the new cloud computing data center. To achieve this goal, APT's first step is to

build an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) business model by offering chassis rental and service hosting services. This

means that APT rents some infrastructure, including servers and storage devices, and then proceeds to build a server,

storage, and network resource pool to provide cloud resource services. The second step is to build a Platform as a

Service (PaaS) service platform, which integrates news and broadcast media resources for customers.

APT believes that its cloud computing data center is promising due to the organization's advantages:

• A stable customer base: APT has partnerships with many TV stations and news media organizations.

• Abundant broadcast media resources: Many TV stations and networks transmit program services through APT's

networks. With the rich broadcast media resources available at its disposal, APT can easily build a program

trading platform.

• Flexible and abundant external fiber connection resources: APT's data center has fibers connected to five carrier

networks so that users can flexibly select different Internet Company (ISP) networks to obtain high-speed, reliable,

and cost-effective transmission services.

Such a large number of quality customer resources create favorable advantages for APT, enhancing its confidence in

building its own cloud computing data center.

APT places high requirements on cloud computing data center network construction. The new data center network

must satisfy the requirements of the two service models, IaaS and PaaS, to meet the challenges presented by big

data traffic for the network's service processing and exchange capabilities. The new data center network must also

feature high security, stability, and maintainability and accommodate APT's service development requirements over

the next ten years.

Huawei's Network Design Solution: Helping APT Reach Its Goal

After strict selection and comprehensive evaluation, APT selected Huawei as the provider of the cloud computing

data center network design solution. Huawei can provide a suite of customer-centric services, including network

planning, site survey, design, and installation. As a leading global network device provider, Huawei can provide a

complete end-to-end data center network solution covering servers, storage devices, switches, routers, and security

and transmission products.

Considering APT's service characteristics and advantages, Huawei has proposed the first-phase cloud computing

data center solution, which uses multiple CE12800 series core switches that connect to access switches. The

CE12800 implements Layer 2 traffic aggregation that simplifies configuration and improves reliability. CE12800 series

core switches seamlessly connect to the original access switches. To ensure service stability and continuity, Spanning

Tree Protocol (STP) is used between the core and access switches to establish a complete ring network.

The Huawei CE12800 features super-large capacities and ultra-high performance, reserving sufficient space for

subsequent data center network upgrades and capacity expansion. Huawei's network design uses a unified data

center switching and routing solution, in which CE12800 series core switches connect to uplink NE40E series core

routers, which provide complete multi-ISP access capabilities and local and international traffic connections for

customers.

Huawei CloudEngine (CE) series data center switches are next-generation, high-performance switches offered by

Huawei for data centers and high-end campuses. The CE series features an orthogonal switch fabric design, Clos

architecture, cell switching, Virtual Output Queuing (VoQ), and super-large buffer, while providing high performance,

satisfying the data center's capacity expansion requirements over the next ten years. The CE series provides Virtual

System (VS) and Cluster Switch System (CSS) physical device virtualization functions, minimizing user investment and

network maintenance costs. In addition, the CE series supports Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL),

Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), and Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) network

virtualization solutions, 4K (which can be expanded to 116M) multi-tenant solutions, as well as seamless connection

to virtualization platforms of multiple physical servers.

With the help of Huawei and concerted efforts, APT has completed the first phase of its cloud computing data

center project. To date, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system, dustproof and constant temperature control

system, and the most advanced multi-layer access monitoring system have been deployed. The data center is

under surveillance by specially assigned personnel in real time, with access restricted to authorized personnel only.

Additionally, the data center connects to the networks of five local ISPs. Should the power supply system or a

ground line fail, the backup line system will be enabled immediately. Should the communication line fail for any

reason, the satellite line system will be enabled immediately to provide highly reliable backup capability and ensure

24x7 uninterrupted service operations. With this system in place, APT is one step closer to achieving its goal of

building the world's most advanced cloud computing data center.

According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), total retail sales of social consumer goods reached

CNY1893.4 billion with a CNY61 billion daily average in October 2012. The rapid development of e-commerce

poses a significant challenge for online shopping, where concurrent access traffic keeps soaring.

During holiday promotional sales activities, e-commerce companies worry about their websites and IDC networks.

Online shoppers expect to receive deep discounts by quickly grabbing goods in their online cart and completing their

transaction. E-commerce companies expect to attract significant attention from customers and achieve major sales

volumes. As a result, these websites see a huge amount of burst traffic, and the network system faces considerable

challenges.

VIPSHOP Challenges

Wholly owned by Guangzhou VIPSHOP Information and Technology Co, Ltd., VIPSHOP (vip.com) is a website

dedicated to special sales offers. VIPSHOP focuses on genuine brands and offers deep discounts and promotions for

a limited period of time. The number of VIPSHOP members has grown to over 28 million in the last 4 years alone.

VIPSHOP was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on March 23, 2012, ranked No. 1 on DTT’s 2012

High Tech and High Increase list, and was honored as “The Best E-Commerce Company of 2012.”

The scaling enterprise size and continuous service expansion have brought considerable challenges for e-commerce

VIPSHOP’s intranet was isolated from the extranet, which reduced employee work efficiency. As the explosive

growth of big data resulted in surging network access traffic, VIPSHOP needed a new elastic IDC network that can

accommodate future online service growth.

After analyzing its comprehensive service requirements, VIPSHOP had the following ever higher requirements for its

new IDC network:

• It must provide non-blocking, uninterruptible switching capabilities.

• It must be elastic and highly reliable.

• Intranet and extranet must be converged.

• It must feature high scalability, security, and maintainability.

Huawei CE12800: Helping VIPSHOP Build a High-Speed IDC Network

Based on its in-depth understanding of VIPSHOP’s network requirements, Huawei leveraged its Cloud Fabric Data

Center Network Solution and CloudEngine series data center switches to design and build VIPSHOP’s new IDC

network. Huawei’s goal is to build an industry-leading IDC network that features high performance and reliability,

which helps VIPSHOP adapt to its fast-changing services by solving complicated problems in network migration,

service expansion, security protection, maintainability improvement, and big data processing.

To build a highly elastic network and implement intranet and extranet convergence, the old network must seamlessly

transition to the new network, and then smoothly evolve to the future network architecture. Huawei put forth an

elastic network policy that implements distributed migration and step-by-step upgrade to smoothly and quickly

migrate VIPSHOP’s services to the new network. During subsequent network architecture upgrades, the entire

network can seamlessly evolve to the intranet and extranet converged architecture without large-scale adjustment.

To build a highly scalable network, Huawei not only reserved sufficient expansion room on the network itself, but

also provided a replicable network construction solution. In future service expansion and network reconstruction,

entire network replication and policy replication can be implemented.

To improve network maintainability, Huawei used its eSight Network Management System (NMS) to uniformly

manage infrastructure devices, maintain the network via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and monitor key

information in real time. The eSight NMS works with the independent out-of-band management function of Huawei

CloudEngine series data center switches. If the service plane fails, the eSight NMS can independently report device

status and take fault recovery actions, implementing Zero-Touch maintenance in its truest sense.

To enhance the new IDC network security, Huawei provided a complete network design solution by leveraging its

extensive experience in e-commerce network construction. This solution configures firewalls to ensure accurate

control of each service flow and each external network access traffic flow. This way, intranet and extranet access

rights are effectively controlled. The firewalls, along with Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) or Intrusion Detection

System (IDS) devices, build multiple network attack defense networks. This solution also secures data communication

between a local IDC and a remote IDC through IPSec VPN. The solution is highly replicable, not only satisfying

VIPSHOP’s current network construction requirements, but also accommodating network capacity expansion

requirements over the next five to ten years.

Finally, to solve the problem of network congestion caused by big data, Huawei reconstructed VIPSHOP’s existing

network. Through the innovative orthogonal architecture of Huawei CloudEngine12800 series data center switches,

Huawei implemented a non-blocking switching capacity of up to 2 Tbit/s per slot, which can ensure 10GE, 40GE,

and 100GE line-speed forwarding of service data. The CE12800’s line cards provide a maximum of 12 GB large

buffer, which can be dynamically adjusted and distributed on demand; therefore, the CE12800 is capable of

handling large traffic bursts and ensuring non-blocking service traffic forwarding.

Huawei has taken advantage of its network construction expertise to design and build a new IDC network for

VIPSHOP. By taking the network development trends in the industry into consideration, Huawei accurately analyzed

the customer’s service scenarios and traffic models, eventually winning high praise from VIPSHOP.

Introduction: National research institutes often undertake major and strategic research projects; therefore, it is very

important for their networks to be flexible, reliable, and powerful. Building this type of network was very important

for the National Center for Protein Science (Shanghai), or NCPSS.

Customized Solution to Guarantee Non-Stop Operations for the National Research Network—Huawei's High-end Campus Network Solution for the NationalCenter for Protein Science (Shanghai)

China had carried out a series of strategic research projects years ago, including Important National Science &

Technology Specific Projects, 973 program, and 863 program. The protein research plan is one of four major basic

scientific research plans in China's "Long-Term Science & Technology Development Strategy." NCPSS has a solid

foundation and innovation capabilities in life science and biotechnology, as well as related fields, and aims to make

and promote scientific and technological achievements in the protein field.

Well Prepared, Tailored Network Architecture

The network architecture was considered at the early stage of NCPSS construction, and the network plan was

tailored during IT infrastructure construction, ensuring that the network can guarantee the protein research project

and core service operations of NCPSS.

The NCPSS campus is located at Haike road, Zhangjiang High-Tech Park, Pudong new area, near several research

institutes and scientific facilities, including Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Shanghai University of Technology,

Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, and Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. There are five buildings in the

NCPSS campus: an eight-story main building that accommodates the data center, two five-story buildings, and

two three-story buildings, with about 1000 information points. NCPSS requires that the campus network should

cover all buildings with optical fibers to provide a gigabit-to-the-desktop access solution and 10 Gbit/s bandwidth

to each building. In addition, full wireless coverage must be available on the entire campus to allow for convenient

mobile access. A high-performance backbone network, especially a high-performance computing subnet, is the

key to stable network operations. The network design must ensure high throughput of the network and devices to

transmit high-quality data and images. 10G links are deployed between the access, aggregation, and core layers to

avoid performance bottlenecks.

NCPSS also has high requirements for the Wireless Access Network (WAN) interface and access solution, considering

the exponential growth in data traffic from organizations and institutes such as the China Science and Technology

Network, Shanghai Super Computer Center, Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences, and, especially, the Shanghai

Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

Huawei Solution, Building a 10GE Campus for NCPSS

Because the NCPSS campus network project was of great significance, and network construction required multiple

high-end devices, NCPSS, after intense research and verification, finally chose Huawei to participate in project

planning and implementation.

Huawei's network design for the NCPSS campus network adopts a three-layer architecture of core, aggregation, and

access layers. Huawei deployed CE12800 switches on the core layer to ensure non-blocking forwarding, CE6800

switches on the aggregation layer, and S5700 switches on the access layer. The multi-layer network architecture

facilitates network expansion and management.

The NCPSS campus network must provide high-speed computing services for some universities, allow users of the

campus network and China Science and Technology Network to rapidly access the computing center, and provide

management interfaces for the high-performance computing nodes. This can be achieved through the high-

performance CE12800 series data center switches deployed on the core layer.

The CE12800 series adopts a hardware architecture that separates the switching plane from the control plane and

has a switching capacity of up to 64 Tbit/s, greatly improving the packet forwarding rate. The Line Processing Units

(LPUs) and Switch Fabric Units (SFUs) constitute a fully orthogonal architecture, improving system performance. The

large 12 GB buffers on inbound interfaces can efficiently absorb burst traffic during peak hours. In other words, the

CE12800 switches bring NCPSS into the 10GE campus age.

High Performance, Reliability, and Security

Huawei offers not only a campus network architecture capable of providing high-performance services, but also an

appropriate reliability and security design that can guarantee stable operations in the campus network.

Huawei has created a reliable backup policy and designed the network architecture with self-healing capabilities at

the network planning stage. The solution uses Cluster Switch System (CSS) technology on the core nodes, iStack

technology on the aggregation and access nodes, and Eth-Trunk technology on the links to enhance network

reliability. The network can be smoothly expanded and upgraded, minimizing the changes in the existing network

architecture and devices when services on the network increase or change.

10G firewall, log audit, VPN, and Intrusion Detection System (IDS)/Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) devices are

deployed to ensure network security, all managed by a unified network management system. Various access systems

(for example, the SSL VPN gateway and Wi-Fi system), are deployed to allow flexible access. A Huawei service

gateway is also deployed in inline mode at the network egress. The service gateway provides comprehensive traffic

visualization and fine-grained management capabilities by employing advanced deep packet inspection technology.

These capabilities help optimize network performance and ensure end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) based on the

differentiated service model. USG5500 firewalls deployed at the network egress enforce security policies for service

access, and unified network security policies ensure security of the entire network platform These security devices

and policies protect important data from theft, tampering, and leaks, making sure that data transmitted on the

network is highly reliable.

After intense and meticulous project planning and implementation, Huawei completed construction of the NCPSS

campus network, which provides gigabit-to-the-desktop and 10G-to-the-building capabilities. The network features

high flexibility, reliability, and performance, offering an excellent network platform for the new service system. The

network realizes office automation and provides high-quality image transfer, video, and computing services. It can

also securely connect to networks of other institutes (such as China Science and Technology Network and Shanghai

Synchrotron Radiation Facility) for sharing resources. Additionally, comprehensive security policies can protect the

network against security threats, ensuring security of important data. This campus network can support NCPSS

business development over the next 5 to 10 years.

A modern school requires a stable and fast network platform to support educational IT construction, office

automation, and talent training. Highly reliable and cost-effective network devices should be used to build a highly

secure, reliable, efficient, and sustainable campus network platform.

Huawei CE12800 Helps Beijing Business Management School Build a Campus Network Platform Connecting Three Campuses

Customer Testimonial

"Huawei CE12800 series core switches feature excellent performance, stability, and reliability. As core switches on

our campus network, the CE12800 switches help us promote educational IT construction and improve the teaching

level."

—Supervisor in charge of educational IT construction in Beijing Business Management School

Beijing Business Management School is a key secondary vocational school founded in 1980. It aims at training junior

and middle-level technical talents for modern service industry. Under the administration of the Board of Education

in Haidian District, the school has ten majors, which fall into four categories: economics, business services, catering

services, and IT. Beijing Business Management School has three campuses that cover an area of 39,654 square

meters in total, including the Garden Road Campus, Yuanda Campus, and Xiyuan Campus.

Urgent Demand for Campus Network Reconstruction

The school's network platform provides course services and office services to students and teachers. Besides, it

should also cope with a growing number of network applications and support distance education. The original

network platform could not meet service development requirements due to the school's rapid growth in recent

years. Teachers and students often complained about network problems such as instability, insufficient network

resources, and low security level. In addition, network interconnection among the three campuses was a big

challenge to the school.

Beijing Business Management School launched its network reconstruction project in the second half of 2012. The

school planned to build a unified campus LAN that accommodates teaching and learning requirements for distance

education, school-enterprise cooperation, and joint education.

Interconnection Among Three Campuses Thorough Huawei CE12800

After thorough consideration, Beijing Business Management School decided to build a 10G backbone network that

connects the three campuses and provides GE-to-desktop services. The core device on the network was crucial to

network reconstruction. The school finally chose Huawei CE12800 as the core switch after carefully researching

switches in the industry. Huawei CE12800 helps the school build a new network platform that uses 10GE ports

for interconnection on the backbone network, and GE interconnection between aggregation switches and access

switches and between access switches and APs.

Huawei CE12800 switches are high-performance core switches designed for data center networks and high-end

campus networks. Huawei helps Beijing Business Management School in the following three aspects:

• The CE12800 improves the switching capacity of the school's network platform.

The CE12800 provides industry-leading switching performance and adopts innovative energy-saving technologies

to substantially reduce power consumption. It provides stable, reliable, secure, and high-performance Layer 2/

Layer 3 switching, helping build an elastic, virtualized, and high-quality network. In the past, video quality was

rather poor when a traffic burst occurs. The CE12800 uses a large-buffer design to cache burst video data,

significantly reducing packet loss.

• The CE12800 improves the reliability of the school's network platform.

The CE12800 provides industrial-grade reliability and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 30 years,

ensuring service continuity. It uses a hot standby (HSB) design for all hardware. The MPUs work in 1+1 HSB

mode; the SFUs work in N+M HSB mode; the CMUs work in 1+1 HSB mode; the fans work in 1+1 HSB mode.

The power supplies support dual power supply input, work in N+N HSB mode, and have an independent heat

dissipation system. The monitoring buses, management buses, and data buses all work in 1+1 redundancy mode.

Bus redundancy ensures reliable signal transmission in the system. The control plane, data plane, and monitoring

plane of the CE12800 are independent of each other. This design improves system reliability and ensures service

continuity.

• Huawei provides unified management for the school's network platform.

After network reconstruction, a unified Internet and education network egress replaces the original three

education network egresses for the three campuses. A firewall is deployed at the egress. The unified egress and

firewall improve Internet access rate and campus network security. Huawei eSight network management system

(NMS) is deployed on the school's network platform to uniformly manage and maintain network devices on the

campus network. The eSight NMS facilitates network fault location and troubleshooting, improving network

operating efficiency.

"Huawei CE12800 series core switches feature excellent performance, stability, and reliability. As core switches on

our campus network, the CE12800 switches help us promote educational IT construction and improve the teaching

level," said XXX, supervisor in charge of educational IT construction in Beijing Business Management School.

With the help of Huawei, Beijing Business Management School built a high-speed network platform that connects

three campuses using a 10GE backbone network and provides GE-to-desktop services. ACs and APs are also

deployed at the school's three campuses to provide full wireless coverage and seamless connection between wireless

and wired networks. Huawei not only builds a reliable and stable network platform for Beijing Business Management

School, but also provides easy and highly efficient network management methods, making the network platform

scalable and easy to maintain.

In China, significant changes have taken place in the medical insurance industry. At one time, citizens could only

resolve complex medical expense settlements and insurance reimbursements at hospitals. Now, they can avoid such

complex procedures with one medical insurance card. New medical insurance system management, technologies,

and devices are still needed, however, to improve the delivery of social services.

Updating Networks for Large-Scale Data Sharing — Huawei Assists Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department to Update Its Social Insurance Data Center Network

Occupying the largest area in Northeast China, Heilongjiang Province serves a population of over 30 million.

Yet subsystems in the public social insurance system remained unable to communicate with each other, and

there was no meaningful association or relationship between subsystems covering occupational injury, pension,

unemployment, and maternity insurance. As demands for data interoperability and security from the government

sector and social community grew, the current network of information systems with dispersed management modes

and information silos became unsustainable.

Without a unified social insurance information system and centralized management, Heilongjiang Province could not

improve the level of social insurance and management services, or share medical information.

Province officials decided to fully integrate and centrally manage the dispersed subsystems of the provincial medical

insurance system. Opening the network channels that transmit lower-layer data provided the key to a workable

solution. In other words, the Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department opted to upgrade and

reconstruct its data center network.

Social Insurance Information Cannot Be Fully Shared

The reconstruction of the Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department data center network was

one of the core network sub-projects in China’s “Gold Insurance Project.” Goals of the Heilongjiang project

included:

• To update the human resources development and utilization system and the social insurance application system

• To support a broad variety of core applications and external system information exchanges

• To manage the labor force and social insurance services in a centralized manner

The network system would provide the basic infrastructure for the reconstruction of the various information systems.

The Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department wanted to minimize investment costs but still

achieve high network performance, as well as ensure sustainable and advanced service development and stable

system operations.

The Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department faced the following challenges in the rebuild

process:

CloudEngine, Power The Cloud 38 37

• Interconnection and communication between different subsystems throughout the entire social insurance system

This was a key goal in upgrading and reconstructing the existing data center network.

• Continued explosive data growth

Because the Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department maintains one of the largest

databases in Heilongjiang Province, the continued growth of new social insurance services and scaling of social

insurance service coverage was expected to considerably increase both south-north and east-west network

traffic. As a result, such network expansion would sharply increase the overall amount of data.

• High security and reliability

The social insurance system is characterized by massive data, a huge number of access points, and a wide service

scope. As the core infrastructure of the information system, the data center network had to be highly secure and

reliable.

• Service continuity and data completeness

The original core network devices of the Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department

functioned as channels for the provincial data center for nearly ten years. With the declining service life and

growing service flows, the performance and stability of the original devices could not guarantee service

continuity. The original service system was centralized at the provincial level and required migration to the cloud,

which meant that the data center network architecture had to be capable of evolving into a cloud-based system.

Huawei Aids Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security

Department to Build a Converged Social Insurance Network

Implementing data integration and communication between different subsystems can be difficult, especially when

interconnecting over 25 individual database systems. To meet these challenges, Huawei divided the data center

network of the Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department into three networks: the private

service network, public service network, and disaster recovery center network.

The private service network handles services for confidential systems such as the “Five-Insurance” system and the

employment system. It also provides internal network interconnections and communication, as well as data, voice,

and video transmission. This network connects to the Internet to offer public services on the public service network.

The public service network provides multiple public services including online declaration, service processing, and

information query. To meet the need for information system security and stability, Huawei proposed a disaster

recovery center network for the remote backup of core service data.

To support the expansion of services, Huawei deployed two CE12808 series data center switches as core devices

with a Cluster Switch System (CSS) between them. These core switching devices feature industry-leading switching

capacity with industrial-grade reliability and support service expansion for the next five to eight years.

Huawei designed the CE12800 high-performance switch series specifically for cloud computing data centers. The

CE12800 uses an advanced hardware architecture design that easily adapts to the development requirements of

cloud computing data centers. It provides a maximum of 64 Tbit/s switching capacity and high-density line-speed

ports. Each switch has up to 96x100GE and 288x40GE ports, or 1152x10GE ports. The CE12800’s excellent

performance in architecture, performance, virtualization, and multi-service processing enables the medical insurance

system of the Heilongjiang Human Resources and Social Security Department to efficiently process massive amounts

of data. The core plane, consisting of two CE12808 core switches, forwards all service data, fully meeting the

requirement for a high-performance data center. In addition, the CE12800’s abundant virtualization technologies,

such as CSS and Virtual System (VS), simplify network management and allow flexible capacity expansion based on

service capabilities, ensuring network scalability, robustness, and maintainability.

Huawei deployed two CE6850 series Top of Rack (TOR) switches at the access layer to establish a cluster with a

total bandwidth of up to 80 Gbit/s for service traffic. Huawei also deployed NE20E series fifth-generation routers as

egress routers to provide abundant services and powerful packet-forwarding capacity. Huawei’s high-performance

core switches deliver best-in-class switching capacity and industrial-grade reliability, as well as future-proof network

service adaptation.

Huawei’s data center network solution meets all the project requirements for high performance and reliability

while adding scalability and preparation for cloud platform construction. This solution enables Huawei to win bids

for two other data center network reconstruction projects: a security hardening project for the provincial data center

and backup center, as well as the local disaster backup center Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) channel

construction project.

Before building out IT networks, government sectors must first solve problems with existing networks, while building

in capabilities to accommodate future requirements. The IT Department of Zhejiang Provincial Department of

Finance opted to build a best-in-class smart office network system with Huawei’s optimized solution.

Upgrades Bring High Efficiency, Stability, and Reliability to Private Government Networks— Huawei Assists Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance to Build a Smart Office Network

The Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance, established in 2009, is responsible for all financial planning for the

Zhejiang Province. As the number of services and employees continued to expand, the Department experienced

more and more problems with their existing network, which could no longer adapt to growing office and service

demands.

Problems at the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance

To meet their needs for a modern intelligent network, the Department initiated an office network system project

with the following requirements:

• Comprehensive cable layout subsystem

• One-card subsystem

• Conference and consultation subsystem (including a multi-panel display)

• Computer network subsystem

• Public information subsystem

• Security surveillance system

• Public Address (PA) subsystem

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

• Patrol subsystem

As their main objective, the Department wanted a convenient, secure, and healthy office environment achieved

through a multi-functional, high-efficient, and easy-to-use smart office network.

The Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance planned to invest large sums to construct the smart office network,

which comprised only a part of the department’s entire office building reconstruction project. Employees in the

Information Center of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance expressed their concern with selecting the right

provider by stating: “We need an advanced, mature, flexible, and easy-to-manage network. The construction of

such a smart office network is rather complex, so selecting an appropriate solution provider is very important.”

After an extensive search, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance selected Huawei as its network solution

provider. Huawei immediately set up a professional project team. The team performed a series of evaluations on the

department’s installed network system and discovered the following problems:

• Obsolete network devices and complex network architecture

A majority of devices on the live network had been in use for five years or more. The switching capabilities of

the old devices could not adapt to the requirements of the growing service load, considerably impacting the

provisioning of new services. Although the department added switching devices in recent years, this still could

not compensate for device obsolescence and increased the complexity of the entire network architecture.

• Low bandwidth, providing poor capability for supporting new services

The old network was deployed with 100M and 1,000M switching devices. As a result, bandwidth for the entire

network was low. The old network could not transmit new services such as video conferencing and resource

sharing, which resulted in heavy traffic volumes.

• Dispersed network management functions and heavy maintenance workloads

Different service areas within the Department have different network usage requirements. However, the network

resources of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance could not be allocated to individual departments as

needed. Once a network fault occurred, it was difficult for network maintenance personnel to troubleshoot the

fault. If the fault was not corrected immediately, services were severely affected.

Huawei CE12808 Functions as the Cornerstone of the Smart Office

Network

By leveraging its full series of products and solutions, Huawei provided an advanced, comprehensive campus

transmission network solution for the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance, which included multiple office

zones and wired and wireless convergence.

Huawei CE12808 series core switches played a pivotal role in the construction of the smart office network. As a

cornerstone of the smart office network, the CE12808 provided clustering technology to ensure high network

reliability.

Huawei’s solution deployed S5700 series 1,000M Layer 3 switches as aggregation switches on the intranet. The

S5700 connected to core devices through 10GE links and used link aggregation technology to increase network

bandwidth. The S5700 transmits multiple large traffic services while ensuring network stability. Huawei also deployed

Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches on the extranet as access switches that directly provide power to wireless Access

Points (APs), greatly simplifying network deployment and maintenance.

Huawei deployed its eSight Network Management System (NMS) software to monitor all devices in the network and

further manage network bandwidth. The eSight NMS provides multiple functions such as full-scale network traffic

monitoring, user management, and bandwidth management. It can also troubleshoot faults and offers automatic

fault alarming, greatly lowering network maintenance costs and workloads.

Employees in the Information Center of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance praised the Huawei solution: “We

eventually selected Huawei as our solution provider because Huawei provided a high-reliability network product

along with a reasonable network architecture design and more reliable network device backup policies. Huawei’s

solution not only ensures that our network has self-healing capabilities and elastic scalability, it also adapts to service

growth requirements for the next five to ten years.”

The Department’s new smart office network now provides powerful support for IT upgrades across the entire

finance system, creating additional social and economic follow-on benefits. With redundant, high-reliability network

core devices and a loop-free network topology, Huawei’s solution appropriately allocates network resources,

ensures proper operation for a wide variety of services, and effectively isolates the intranet from the extranet.

Moreover, the Huawei eSight NMS provides fine-grained customized network management, substantially reducing

network maintenance problems and costs while improving network use efficiency.

In order to seamlessly adapt to rapid developments in Information Technology (IT), the Chinese government must

continue to improve its overall work efficiency and optimize its organizational structure and service processing. By

leveraging IT applications, governments can provide comprehensive services for citizens. This article describes how

Huawei assisted Guangdong Provincial Local Taxation Bureau in updating and reconstructing its aging network

system.

Huawei CE12800 Assists Guangdong Provincial Local Taxation Bureau to Reconstruct Its Aging Network

Guangdong Provincial Local Taxation Bureau is a functional department that takes charge of taxation services

throughout Guangdong Province, China. The Bureau began constructing its network system in 2000 to ensure

smooth taxation service processing. The network system included two data centers (Guangdong Provincial Data

Center and South China Sea Data Center) connected to the State Administration of Taxation (SAT) network, as well

as to other networks in cities, districts, and counties in Guangdong. The network nodes served all branches of the

provincial local bureau, functioning as the base platform for the centralized processing of taxation service data.

Service Challenges

The two data center networks of the Guangdong Provincial Local Taxation Bureau provided highly efficient, stable,

and secure access for core service system servers and storage devices, bearing all service system traffic and serving

as the hardware infrastructure for service applications.

However, the core network architecture was built ten years ago. To adapt to rapid service growth, the Bureau

recognized that the aging security and core network devices needed replacement. To make matters worse, a

growing number of application systems presented additional challenges to the core architecture.

To meet the goal of highly efficient information system and security applications, the Guangdong Provincial Local

Taxation Bureau decided to replace the old security and core network devices with a new network architecture that

met the following requirements:

• High availability

Because a network functions as important infrastructure for a data center, network availability directly influences

service system availability. To ensure reliable and stable operations across the entire network infrastructure, the

new network architecture must provide high performance, redundancy, and fault tolerance and error correction

capabilities.

• High scalability

The new network system must adapt to fast-changing service systems, provide high scalability and

interoperability, and accommodate the rapid growth of new services.

• High maintainability

Data center networks typically include a large number of devices. These devices use a wide variety of protocols

and applications that are complex and hard to deploy, requiring network maintenance personnel to retain highly

technical skill sets. Continuity of service operations cannot always be ensured by relying on the technical and

service capabilities of maintenance personnel. An automated network Operations and Maintenance (O&M)

platform is needed to fully monitor and manage data center network resources and reduce faults caused by

human error. With graphics-based network management, maintenance personnel can quickly locate and correct

a fault using automated tools.

• Strong security controls

Data center network security forms the foundation for service system security. Because taxation services require

a higher level of protection than other services, the Bureau must set up security zones with appropriate network

security protection measures for specific needs.

To meet these requirements, the Guangdong Provincial Local Taxation Bureau decided to build a brand new, totally

symmetric network system featuring high stability, security, scalability, and a high access rate. They also determined

that the new network must adapt to new service development over the next eight to ten years.

Huawei Designs a Network Architecture Featuring Network Hierarchy,

Functional Separation of Services, and Security Zones

Huawei proposed a “Network Hierarchy, Functional Separation, and Security Zones” solution designed to provide

highly available, highly scalable, easy-to-manage, and secure network architecture for the Guangdong Provincial

Local Taxation Bureau. Huawei also designed a brand new network topology with a core switching zone as its

center. The network topology was divided into eight zones: Local Area Network (LAN) office zone, server zone,

Network Management System (NMS) zone, service application zone, horizontal networking zone, city and district

Wide Area Network (WAN) access zone, testing zone, and Internet access zone.

As Bureau employees pointed out, the design created new challenges: “In order to construct a new network

according to the network topology planned by Huawei, we must first improve performance, including bandwidth

and buffer capabilities, while lowering the latency of core switches on the existing network. The new network must

also adapt to the requirements of the future service growth, which poses an even bigger challenge.”

To meet these challenges, Huawei employed its CE12800 series core switches featuring high bandwidth, low latency,

and large buffers and provided high-density 10GE/40GE/100GE cards. The new network resolved all the problems in

the original network.

Huawei satisfied the low latency requirement for online invoice service and the large buffer, low latency, and large

bandwidth requirements for online video service (eLearning) by deploying the industry-leading CE12800 series core

switches with its highly stable and mature NE40E-X8 series core routers, consolidating the entire core network.

Huawei designed the CE12800 series specifically for the data center of the future. The CE12800 provides abundant

features such as Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Data

Center Bridging (DCB), and virtualization in a highly scalable data center that seamlessly adapts to service expansion

for eight to ten years.

During the implementation of the project, executives at the Information Center of Guangdong Provincial Local

Taxation Bureau highly commended the Huawei design: “Huawei provided us with the industry’s best-in-

class solution and network devices that helped build a secure, reliable, high-performance, and high-bandwidth

networking environment. Huawei’s advanced solution and network devices strongly safeguard our developing and

future services.”

In recent years, Guangdong province, at the forefront of China's economic development, has seen a sharp increase

in VoD and HD interactive services. Facing the three-network convergence trend, Guangdong Radio and TV Network

Co., Ltd. will be interconnecting their leading radio and television network platform and the public information

infrastructure network to form a converged network for developing future services.

The provincial HD interactive platform data network connects to metro HD interactive platform data networks in

Guangdong province to form a unified HD interactive platform, which delivers HD interactive television services.

Delivering a High-Quality HD Interactive Video Experience:Huawei CE12800 Helps Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. Build a New VoD Network

Preface: Video on Demand (VoD) is an interactive video system that allows users to request programs on demand.

With VoD, fans never need to worry about missing an important sporting event or being too busy to catch the

latest episode of their favorite television series. VoD, especially High-Definition (HD) VoD, is proliferating, creating an

urgent need to build VoD networks in some cities.

Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. Launching Phase 3

Network Expansion

The widely recognized three-network convergence focuses on two-way digital television, IP Television (IPTV), and

China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (CMMB). Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. has been devoted to

three-network convergence and will be building an HD interactive VoD data center.

Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. was approved by Guangdong Provincial Committee and Guangdong

Provincial People's Government. It is a large-scale, state-owned cultural enterprise founded by 20 promoters on June

6, 2010, and was put into operation on August 5. Currently, the company network covers 24 cities and 68 counties,

with more than 13 million users. In 2011, the company established a 5 billion yuan venture capital fund.

After Phase 1 and 2 construction of the provincial HD interactive platform data network covering 11 counties

has been completed, Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. plans to expand the network in Phase 3 to

build an HD VoD interactive and IP Metro Area Network (MAN) dual-plane network to interconnect the unified

interconnection egress and data networks and to develop leased line services.

CE12800: Meeting Future Services Requirements

VoD HD services require high network speed, super high reliability, and dynamic distributed buffering. As the number

of users continues to increase, the VoD network of Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. must have the

resilience to meet the requirements of future services.

After evaluating a number of devices, Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. were convinced that the Huawei

CloudEngine 12800 series (CE12800) data center switches could deliver advanced performance.

The CE12800 features the industry's first 64 Tbit/s switching capacity per slot, high-density 100 GE/40 GE/10 GE/

GE ports, network virtualization, and integration of calculations, in addition to high forwarding performance and

energy saving. The CE12800 is the first choice core device for customers looking to build super-large and energy-

efficient data centers.

During network construction and deployment, Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. performed strict

reliability and pressure tests on the Huawei CE12800. The test results showed that the core nodes could transmit

VoD and IP MAN dual-plane services even when one of the CE12800s was faulty. A single 10 GE interface could

allow 3,000 users to concurrently request VoD services, indicating excellent reliability.

The CE12800 was highly recognized, and the product's enhanced performance and reliability have put the customer

at ease; therefore, the company urgently required the Huawei CE12800 be used in the Phase 3 network expansion

project.

The customer's data center transmits mainly video and data services. As the number of radio and television users

increase, total traffic will reach hundreds of Gbit/s or Tbit/s. Guangdong Radio and TV Network Co., Ltd. has high

requirements for core device switching capacity, and interfaces on the 40G/100G card must provide line-speed

forwarding in case of heavy traffic.

When there is heavy traffic, the Huawei CE12800 cards provide line-speed forwarding, meeting customer

requirements. Featuring multi-level, multi-plane Clos architecture, the CE12800 implements non-blocking forwarding

for traffic on dozens of 10G or 40/100G interfaces — ensuring real-time forwarding of heavy video traffic for high-

quality HD video programs.

The Huawei CE12800 has a large buffer and super low latency. Core VoD services include VoD, Time Shift TV (TSTV),

and Catch-up TV services. VoD users remain online for a long period of time, occupying bandwidth between Set-

Top Boxes (STBs) and media servers. VoD services require high bandwidth on the IP network. In addition, the VoD

interactive platform is sensitive to real-timeness and jitter, and interactive services have strict requirements for

Quality of Service (QoS).

The CE12800 40 GE/100 GE hardware platform meets high bandwidth requirements for the VoD network to cover

11 cities. The distributed buffer and 2 us latency ensure a smooth interactive experience.

In the Phase 3 VoD network expansion project, the Huawei CE12800s can handle heavy traffic loads with line-speed

forwarding, dynamic distributed buffer, super-high reliability, and energy saving capability. The Huawei CE12800s

helps the customer cut deployment costs and increase expansion space, meeting diverse upgrade and service

requirements over the next 5 to 10 years.

Wuxi Broadcast & TV Seeks to Build a Best-in-Class Media Group

Established in 1999, Wuxi Broadcast & TV presently owns six broadcast frequencies, seven TV channels, one weekly

magazine with a circulation of about 200,000, and one official website. The Group owns over 85 percent of the

broadcast and TV market in Wuxi. It has managed to maintain market share with consistent prime-time audience

ratings topping 40 percent. To reach their goal of building a state-of-the-art media group with enhanced service

operations, Wuxi Broadcast & TV recognized the need for advanced technologies and powerful platforms to

leverage their operations.

The pace of Internet development made this new strategy necessary. In recent years, the Group witnessed explosive

growth in the demand for high-quality video. This growth often caused congestion over their networks. Wuxi’s

existing Operations Support System (OSS) network was unequipped to transmit huge traffic volumes.

Information security increased in importance for Wuxi Broadcast & TV as well. Because TV broadcasting includes

important social responsibilities to local citizens, the Group had to guarantee secure production and network access

control, as well as virus defense and isolation.

Executives at Wuxi Broadcast & TV realized that in order to adapt to the rapid growth of services, they had to

continually improve the stability, reliability, and capabilities of Big Data transmission while ensuring the information

security of the existing OSS network. As a result, Wuxi Broadcast & TV decided to reconstruct and upgrade its

existing data center network.

Optimized Networking Enhances IT System Vitality— Huawei Assists Wuxi Broadcast & TV Group to Reconstruct Its Data Center Network

Wuxi Broadcast & TV Group (the Group for short) is a diversified enterprise that provides services not

only for the citizens of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, but also for the Wuxi municipal government.

Now that TV and broadcast networking have become indispensable in people’s daily lives, the biggest

challenge for the Group is fail-safe, high-quality, and non-stop TV programming with reliable broadcast

and TV services.

Three Optimization Solutions Simplify and Secure the OSS Network

Serving as the foundation for the entire service system, the OSS network at Wuxi Broadcast & TV supports the

office network and the program broadcasting and control network, and also bears the interaction platform, media

information storage network, and cloud application platform. The program broadcasting and control network is an

integrated network system that covers all content production services centered on media assets management. The

first challenge the Group faced was to isolate the program broadcasting and control network from other networks.

Because program broadcasting and control network transmission is based on MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 video streams,

broadcast networks must transmit MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 streams with highly efficient, quality service transmission.

To accomplish this and guarantee zero network outages, Wuxi Broadcast & TV configured key devices and links in

redundancy mode, ensuring no single-point failure among multiple links and near instantaneous master/backup

switchover upon a fault.

To improve security, the OSS network adopted a flattened IT architecture divided into two layers: the core and

aggregation layer + access layer. This isolates network management devices from network transmission layer devices.

Huawei helped Wuxi Broadcast & TV implement load balancing at the core and aggregation layer to accommodate

bursty traffic and to simplify network management. During service operations, network administrators can scale up

bandwidth and throughput of network devices and servers, enhancing data processing capability in the network and

improving flexibility and availability for network traffic growth.

Although the program broadcasting and control network was physically isolated from the office network,

information exchange needed to continue. Wuxi Broadcast & TV selected a solution that deployed physical firewalls

at the network ingress based on the security severity of Data Access Objects (DAOs) to safeguard the network edge.

This way, security access policies remain consistent with security protection features, implementing refined network

traffic controls.

Huawei’s customized network optimization solution for Wuxi Broadcast and TV increased the value, performance,

and vitality of the Wuxi Broadcast and TV’s OSS network. The solution not only simplified Wuxi Broadcast and

TV’s network management but also enabled the IT system to flexibly scale up in an open networking environment.
