Huawei’s SoftCOM Business Initiatives Zoom-in (BIZ) program: stakes and opportunities.

Launched in June 2013 with the goal to help carriers benefit from the potential commercial value of SoftCOM by identifying application scenarios via in-depth study into each network field and developing SDN/NFV solutions that can be quickly applied to current networks; Huawei increasingly impresses in terms of Research and development, market share, business strategy, lobbying and technologies.

Henceforth via this portfolio, Huawei aims to help progress the application of SDN in

telecommunication networks to a new level of commercial value for carriers.

Connectikpeople may recall that, SoftCOM is a future-oriented end-to-end ICT network architecture that Huawei has developed based on cloud computing, SDN, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and network solutions.

In addition, SOX aims to be the only SDN controller that supports OpenFlow 1.0/1.2/1.3 and the first in the industry to pass the hybrid networking tests of Open Networking Foundation (ONF) PlugFest and the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC). The SN-640 is a low-latency and high-speed SDN switch that supports OpenFlow 1.2 and 1.3.

"Protocol-Oblivious Forwarding (POF) is an open SDN technology for next-generation forwarding plane and network application innovation, and may serve as a key building block for the evolution of OpenFlow," said Dr. Justin Dustzadeh, CTO & VP Technology Strategy of Huawei’s Fixed Network Business Unit.
