36.2%! New H3C is a strong leader in China's campus switch market

On the basis of traditional box-type aggregation switches, H3C innovatively integrates the expansion slot design, which can expand multi-rate uplink ports, firewall plug-in cards, network management function boards, etc., which greatly improves the integration capability of a single device. Multiple management functions such as wired/wireless unified management, firewall security policy, and IoT access management can be realized on a single device

A few days ago, the International Data Corporation IDC released the "China Ethernet Switch Market Quarterly Tracking Report (2022Q4)". The report shows that Tsinghua Unigroup's H3C Group, with a market share of 36.2%, ranks first in China's campus switch market share in 2022, once again demonstrating its strength as a leader in China's network market.

As a link connecting individuals, families and society, the park spans multiple industries such as education, medical care, public utilities, energy, and transportation. With the deepening of digital transformation, various application scenarios in the park are becoming more and more complex and diverse. In campus network construction, it is normal for multiple networks such as office network, video network, and production network to coexist, and there will be data islands and security risks from different networks. To solve the fundamental problem in terms of network architecture, enterprises need to build a converged underlying network architecture so that multiple networks can be coordinated and unified.

In the face of different stages of network development, New H3C Group always insists on driving product innovation with applications and technologies, and provides end-to-end solutions and full-stack network products for users in the whole industry. Among them, in the campus scenario, H3C switch products are also accelerating changes in multiple levels such as bandwidth improvement, multi-service integration, security protection, and intelligent operation and maintenance, so as to meet customers' needs for digital production and office.

core layer

The campus network has gradually developed towards mobility, intelligence, and high speed, which puts higher demands on the ultra-broadband and convergence capabilities of core equipment. H3C's new generation of campus core switches, based on high-speed forwarding capabilities, can achieve leaps from 100G, 200G to 400G in one chassis, and bandwidth upgrades are worry-free; the product incorporates green design and adopts data center-level orthogonal CLOS without mid-plane architecture, and through technological innovations in port power consumption, power efficiency, etc., the energy consumption of the switch during use has been greatly reduced. The unified integration capability of the Internet of Things and the fine visualization capability of campus traffic build a solid intelligent and secure foundation for the campus network.

Convergence layer

As the aggregation node of each functional partition in the campus network, during the digital transformation process of the campus, the aggregation layer switch will undertake the data of various access terminals in the partition, and face challenges in converged applications, centralized management, and security protection. On the basis of traditional box-type aggregation switches, H3C innovatively integrates the expansion slot design, which can expand multi-rate uplink ports, firewall plug-in cards, network management function boards, etc., which greatly improves the integration capability of a single device. Multiple management functions such as wired/wireless unified management, firewall security policy, and Internet of Things access management can be realized on a single device, realizing the true multi-function of one machine and meeting the aggregation needs of different scenarios. In addition, for the deployment of all-optical networks, H3C uses innovative optical-electrical hybrid cable technology to provide 60W POE++ power supply to access devices within a distance of 300 meters, easily realizing data and power supply in one line, and one-time wiring for 10-15 years No replacement is required, further protecting user investment.

access layer

In the process of campus network evolution, the access layer is the first product series to feel the needs of the scene and make changes, whether it is Wi-Fi6, the popularization of Internet of Things technology, or the implementation of the concept of all-optical access, or industrial The harsh environment in the scenario requires an access layer switch to undertake it. In terms of product evolution, H3C has successively launched high-power PoE, silent access, all-optical access and other product series with strong scene characteristics according to different usage scenarios, which perfectly fit classrooms, dormitories, offices, Differentiated access requirements in scenarios such as wards.

Facing the accelerated deployment and advancement of "Digital China", H3C Group will, under the guidance of the "Cloud Intelligence Native" strategy, adhere to technological innovation as the development engine, adhere to the core concept of application-driven network, and through continuously evolving solutions and products, Build a solid foundation for the rapid development of the digital economy for all industries.
