Huawei Enables Carriers to Drive New Business by Defining Key Approaches of Transmission Network Cloudification

[Nice, France, June 19, 2017] Huawei together with
leading analyst firm IHS, held the fourth Optical
Network Innovation Conference in Nice, France, with
the theme "CloudOptiX — Simplifying Networks
Towards the All-Cloud Era". The conference brought
together over 200 executives from global operators,
industry partners and analyst firms to exchange
viewpoints about how to restructure transmission
networks to facilitate all-cloud network evolution.

As new services such as video, virtual reality and
augmented reality continue to emerge, demand for
networks with ultra-high bandwidth and ultra-low
latency will continue to grow exponentially.
Guaranteed low latency connections will be critical for
successful network cloudification. With the continuous
expansion of their networks and services, operators
are also under pressure to improve network efficiency
and lower operations and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Defining how the transmission network will evolve to
meet current and future challenges in an all-cloud era
is a key issue for the telecom industry.
In an all-cloud era, Huawei believes that the first step
is to modernize the basic architecture in three core
areas:
One Operation System Cloudification: to realize whole
life-cycle planning, management, and control through
NCE, as a full service lifecycle management platform, it
help operators drive O&M efficiency and increase
profitability.
Two Network Architecture Cloudification: backbone
network to be meshed, metro network to be unified
transport:
On the backbone network, the DC-centric OTN+OXC
meshed backbone network provides optimal latency for
DC interconnections, enabling one-hop transmission
between any two cities required by many networks
such as those used by airlines.
In the metro domain, video services are driving vertical
traffic growth. The OTN to CO (integrated service
access node) networking concept simplifies optical
networks, and enables the construction of a large-
capacity metro-domain integrated bearer network with
one-hop transmission capability between COs and DC,
to meet the bandwidth and experience demands of
video and cloud private line services.
Three Hardware Resource Cloudification: Wavelength
resource cloudification through OXC, layer1 ODUk pipe
cloudification through cluster OTN, CO site service
access cloudification through MS-OTN.
The solution addresses operators’ current demands
and future challenges by enabling them to realize
pooling of wavelength and sub-wavelength resources
through “OXC+OTN”; achieve CO site resource pooling
through “OTN to CO”; and simplify network architecture
through Meshed backbone and OTN in the metro.
Richard Jin, President of Huawei Transmission
Network Product Line, said "OXC+OTN and OTN to CO
reconstruct the infrastructure network architecture and
help operators build a future-oriented simplified
network architecture with one-hop transmission. The
Network Cloud Engine integrates all functions
including planning, management, control, and analysis
to help operators improve O&M efficiency. These
competitive premium private line products are
designed to help operators increase revenues and
achieve business success.
Digital transformation is bringing new development
opportunities. Network construction and evolution is
moving from a technology-driven to a business-driven
approach. With business at the core of Huawei's All-
Cloud Network, it will deliver agile, intelligent,
efficient, and open networks that empower customers
to achieve commercial success.
