H3C Tops the List of Suppliers of Ethernet Switches, Enterprise Network Switches, Data Center Switches in China’s market in Q1 2022: IDC Report

H3C’s leading position in China’s network industry has again been proven by a recent report of “China Quarterly Ethernet Switch Tracker, 2022 Q1” released by International Data Corporation (IDC). As stated in the report, H3C ranked first in China’s ethernet switch market, enterprise network switch market, and data center switch market in the first quarter of 2022 with a market share of 38.7 percent, 39.8 percent, and 37.7 percent, respectively.

As one of the key factors sustaining the development of the digital economy, networks are evolving toward a direction featuring high speed and ubiquity, artificial intelligence (AI) and agile performance, as well as green and low-carbon development.

Forging ahead with firm determination to serve the practical needs of customers and a future-oriented vision, H3C has covered all scenarios of campus, data center, and industry with its solutions, products and services through forward-looking plans for next-generation network technologies and continuous innovations in key products.

Guaranteeing Smooth Construction of the Next-Generation Campus Network

As key devices connecting various information nodes in campuses, switches essentially need strong AI capability to meet the demand for complex and diverse application scenarios in campuses. Striving to achieve service convergence and intelligent connectivity, H3C is able to provide customers with a wide range of switches for all scenarios, including core switch, convergence switch, and access switch. Based on H3C’s Comware, its cloud-native operating system, the switches boast features includingultra-large bandwidth, multi-service convergence, good security performance, and high reliability.

This April, H3C launched its S10500X-G, the industry’s first 400G campus core switch. The switch has broken performance limit of campus switches and ushered in the era of 400G ultra-wide campus networks.

In addition, H3C has made continuous innovations in its Application-Driven Campus (AD-Campus) Solution in such aspects as business deployment, user terminal control, data visualization, and intelligent operation and maintenance (O&M). The solution, together with various H3C switches and wireless local area network(WLAN) products, can fully guaranteesmooth construction of next-generation campus network and meet the needs of campuses with differentiated products.

Speeding up Green Transformation of Data Centers

Data centers have an urgent need for intelligent network architecture with ultra-large bandwidth, unimpeded performance, and other features, and are faced with the increasingly prominent problem of high energy consumption. Grasping the new trend toward ultra-broadbandnetwork and green development, H3C launched a full-fledged 400G data center solution, which has been widely used by many of its leading Internet customers.

This May, H3C launched its 400G convergence switch powered by the near-packaged optics (NPO) technology, which enables the switch to effectively balance high speed transmission and low power consumption. The new product has not only met data centers’ needs for high bandwidth, low latency, and low power dissipation, but contributed to China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

Moreover, H3C’s data center switches can support intelligent lossless network, AI Explicit Congestion Notification(ECN), SRv6, and other technologies. They can significantly improve data transmission and forwarding efficiency and guarantee deterministic network services.

Empowering the Innovation and Integration of Industrial Interconnection

H3C has the richest variety of products for industrial scenarios. As the industrial Internet and the Internet of Things (IoT) integrate into traditional industries at a faster pace, industrial scenarios have been in need of network products that can both support efficient data transmission and industry-class stable performance.

Based on its keen insights into the needs of customers, H3C has launched industrial switches with characteristics including radioresistance, electromagnetic interference resistance, high and low temperature resistance, seismic resistance, high security, high stability, and easy maintenance. These products have met high industry standards and been successfully used in such industries as safe city, manufacturing, and rail traffic.

At the same time, H3C has also actively engaged in frontier research into Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). By combining the TSN technology with its hardware equipment and devices, H3C has reaped rich fruits in the development of TSN products, technological convergence, ecosystem building, among others. H3C will make active efforts to facilitate the information transformation of industries including energy and coal, and carry out more customized solutions for customers.

With its Cloud & AI Native strategy and the concept of application-driven network, H3C will grasp the future trends of networks, propel constant evolution of its “Digital Brain” through technological innovation, and empower the digital transformation of various industries, thus continuously contributing to the construction of the digital economy.
