Huawei was founded in 1987 in China and has since grown to become a global leader in information and communications technology. It started by manufacturing phone switches but has expanded into building telecommunications networks used in 170 countries. Huawei invests over 10% of its annual revenue into research and development conducted by over 48% of its more than 170,000 employees.
Huawei is a Chinese technology company that has grown rapidly since its founding in 1987 to become a world leader in telecommunications equipment and services. It has a presence in over 140 countries and serves over a third of the global population. However, Huawei has also faced significant controversy and has been blocked from various network infrastructure projects due to concerns about its ties to the Chinese government. While very successful, Huawei aims to challenge Samsung and Apple's dominance in the smartphone market.
The document discusses conducting a SWOT analysis of the telecommunications industry. A SWOT analysis examines the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of an organization. For the telecom industry, strengths may include assets owned and customer satisfaction. Weaknesses could be unprofitable areas or lack of resources. Opportunities may arise from new customers or government subsidies. Threats include new competitors, a failing economy, or free alternative communication options that could reduce sales. The analysis would help the industry understand its current problems to improve business performance.
Huawei Technologies Ltd_Case Study Analysis (Tyler Anton)Tyler Anton
Huawei analyzed expanding into Canada's telecommunications market in 2008. It found that Canada had strong political and economic ties with China that supported the expansion. Canada's telecom industry faced high barriers to entry but also intense competition among major players. Huawei was well positioned due to its global operations, low costs from China, and ability to invest heavily in R&D. To further advance in Canada, Huawei proposed a joint venture with the Canadian government and a local company to spin off 5 new technology startups over 3 years, investing in R&D and infrastructure to strengthen Canada's tech industry.

Switches with all 1GbE Ports
L2 Switches with 48-Port x 1GbE Ports from Cisco and Huawei
For all but the most heavily loaded server, 1GbE is the standard for network connectivity. IT Brand Pulse estimates that over 60% of server networking ports are 1GbE LAN-on-Motherboard or network adapter ports. Due to the pervasive presence of 1GbE ports in servers, the popularity of 48-port 1GbE switches, with 10GbE ports, has soared in Top-of-Rack (ToR) applications. As ToR switches, the 10GbE ports are used to uplink data to End-of-Row (EoR) aggregation switches , or directly to core switches. In smaller enterprises, the 48-port switches are deployed as aggregation or core switches.
The 48-port 10GbE switches evaluated in the TCO case study were the Cisco Nexus 2960S and the Huawei S5700. The TCO for quantity of 10 was used because it approximated the scope of an edge switch refresh for a medium sized data center. reflected Although the Huawei switch support 4 uplink ports, the configurations used were burdened with only 2 SFPs per switch for an apples-to-apples comparison.
Becoming a standard feature on enterprise servers heavily loaded with virtualized workloads. 48-port 10GbE switches are used in large enterprises as access switches for racks full of these servers.

Switches with 10GbE Uplink Ports
L2 Switches with 48-Port x 1GbE Ports and 10Gb Uplinks from Cisco and Huawei
As 10GbE connectivity becomes a standard feature in enterprise servers heavily loaded with virtualized workloads, the popularity of 48-port 10GbE switches has soared in Top-of-Rack (ToR) applications. There, the 48-port access switches can uplink data to End-of-Row (EoR) aggregation switches , or directly to core switches. In smaller enterprises, 48-port 10GbE switches commonly used as aggregation or core switches.
The 48-port 10GbE switches evaluated in the TCO case study were the Cisco Nexus Cisco 2960S-48LPD-L and Huawei S5700-52X-PWR-LI-AC. The TCO for quantity of 10 was used because it approximated the scope of an edge switch refresh for a medium sized data center. reflected Although the Huawei switch support 4 uplink ports, the configurations used were burdened with only 2 SFPs per switch for an apples-to-apples comparison.
LAN switches store some or all of frames, check for errors, and discard or forward.

The Bottom Line
The data in this TCO case study highlights the savings that can be achieved in three ways: 1) Using support through a limited lifetime warranty if the application is not business-critical, 2) purchasing other popular brands, and 3) using 1Gb uplinks when possible.
The bottom line is if you buy ten 48-port switches while taking advantage of all three opportunities, the 5-year TCO for your switches will be cut by two thirds and $91K.
