SINGAPORE, Oct. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei was awarded "Best Software-Defined Data Center Networking Solution" at the 2018 NetworkWorld Asia Readers' Choice Product Excellence Awards. The awards ceremony, organized by Questex Asia, was held at Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, Singapore.
Award winners were determined based on five key criteria: reputation of vendor in the marketplace; features and unique selling points of the solution; widespread acceptance of technology and/or brand; users' feedback on the solution/deployment; as well as durability, scalability and quality of service.
The 'Best Software-Defined Data Center Networking Solution' award recognises solution providers who are shifting towards software defined data centers and providing the option of more open and disaggregated network solutions. This enables benefits such as faster and automated provisioning of workloads, improved security and management, as well as reduced hardware/software expenditure and OPEX costs.

CloudFabric is the brand name of Huawei's data center network solutions. It uses SDN technology to build next-generation cloud data center networks based on its service-centric open architecture.

The CloudEngine series includes the industry's highest-performance CloudEngine 12800 flagship core switches, CloudEngine 8800/7800/6800/5800 high-performance Top of Rack (ToR) switches, and the CloudEngine 1800V virtual switch. In addition to the CloudEngine series switches and Agile Controller, the solution also integrates a variety of transmission, routing, security, and network management products.
