H3C ranks first! Its market share of Chinese enterprise network switches exceeds 30% in the first three quarters of 2022

Recently, IDC released the "China Ethernet Switch Market Quarterly Tracking Report (2022Q3)". The report shows that in the first three quarters of 2022, New H3C Group, a subsidiary of Tsinghua Unigroup, ranked first in China's enterprise network switch market with a share of 36.6%, and ranked first in China's campus switch market with a share of 37.0%. Its technical strength and series of products have been highly recognized, fully consolidating its position as a leader in China's network market.

With the deepening of digital transformation, network technology is evolving towards high-speed ubiquitous, intelligent and agile, green and low-carbon. At the level of technological innovation, accelerating the development and evolution of bandwidth, efficiency, management and underlying technology has become an industry consensus. Adhering to the present and looking to the future, H3C Group has advanced the layout of new generation network technology and promoted the innovation of core products, providing network solutions and products suitable for different scenarios, injecting new energy of "connectivity" into all industries.

● All-optical technology accelerates campus network upgrades

The campus is one of the important scenarios for network construction. With the widespread popularity of applications such as high-definition video and online conferencing, the expectations of campus users for network performance, stability, security and agility have been further raised. "Optical fiber in, copper out" is undoubtedly the general trend. The all-optical network has significant advantages in basic capabilities and operating characteristics, which can perfectly meet the security needs of new campus services and effectively solve the challenges of network infrastructure faced in the future development of the campus. This year, H3C Group released the Zhirong All-Optical Campus Solution, and insisted on the "Ethernet + PON" fusion technology route, which greatly improved the experience of the all-optical campus network in terms of business applications, manageability, deployment convenience and security. The solution is equipped with H3C's new generation of OLT equipment S7500X series products, which exclusively supports one-box fusion OLT card, Ethernet switching, security card, wireless AC card, and one box can handle PON, Ethernet all-optical and traditional Ethernet. At the same time, H3C has recently launched a new "Light and Shadow" series of campus products based on innovative optoelectronic hybrid cable technology to help users achieve unified power supply management of equipment during the deployment of all-optical networks. Only one optoelectronic hybrid cable is needed to flexibly add wired and wireless access points without having to consider power supply and configuration management issues, thereby meeting the needs of business changes.

● Proactively deploy cutting-edge technologies and build a green and low-carbon network system

H3C Group has been deeply involved in the network field for more than 20 years, and has successively launched full-scenario switch products covering the core, aggregation, and access layers, which are widely used in the construction of campus and data center networks. In the face of the implementation needs of the "dual carbon" strategy, H3C is also actively accelerating product upgrades and changes to build a green and low-carbon network. In April this year, H3C released the industry's first 400G campus core switch H3C S10500X-G. Based on high-speed forwarding capabilities, through technical innovations in architecture design, port power consumption, power efficiency, etc., it has greatly reduced the energy consumption of the switch during use, and promoted the low-carbon transformation of the campus in the digital era. In May of the same year, H3C also took the lead in releasing a 400G silicon-optical fusion switch for the intelligent era. Equipped with NPO silicon-optical technology, it reduces the power consumption of equipment ports by 40+%, and improves heat dissipation efficiency by 20-30%, perfectly solving the difficult problem of balancing high-speed transmission and low power consumption, and becoming a new force in promoting the transformation of green data center networks.

● Flexible open source software capabilities comprehensively enhance the smart application experience

In addition to hardware, H3C has been focusing on both software and hardware for many years, and has always kept evolving and upgrading the software capabilities of its equipment, bringing more flexible and open capabilities to the switches. The independently developed Comware V9 operating system has been fully applied to campus and data center products. With its containerized and microservice-based design, it provides users with a programmable and modular network system, supporting users' secondary development with an open and compatible ecosystem, so that it can easily cope with diverse business scenarios and network connection requirements, support business flow within 100 seconds and rapid recovery of faulty business, and achieve high data throughput and low latency through the application of RDMA, RoCE and AI ECN technologies, comprehensively improving business intelligence applications and intelligent operation and maintenance experience.

In the future, under the guidance of the "Cloud Native" strategy, H3C will actively grasp the pulse of future network development, adhere to the concept of application-driven network, continuously iterate software and hardware technology innovation, and continuously upgrade full-stack solutions to contribute to the construction of the digital economy.
