uawei South Africa announced
the availability of its Intent-
Driven CloudCampus solution to
its enterprise customers at the Huawei
Rethink IP event that took place at the
Hilton Hotel in Sandton. The CloudCampus
solution adopts the ‘intelligent, simplified,
converged, secure and open’ design
concepts and leverages cloud management
technology to implement centralised multi-
tenant management and scales to manage
up to several millions network elements.
This allows users to take full advantage of
high-performance network platforms and
automation tools on the cloud implement
day-level Wi-Fi network deployment.

predicted that by 2025, there will be more
than 100 billion connections worldwide
and digital transformation will thrive in
diverse sectors like commercial, education,
transportation, and manufacturing.” The findings of the Huawei 2017 Global
Connectivity Index, which surveyed 3,000
enterprises from a range of industries, show
that connectivity enables enterprises to break
regional boundaries and respond to customer
faster, improving their productivity, efficiency,
and competitiveness in the marketplace.
“A better connected world is fast
approaching,” said Kameshwar Rao Sorda,
Solutions Director, Huawei Enterprise
Southern Africa. Huawei CampusInsight, which is the first
module of the CloudCampus, analyses
the network performance for each user at
each moment, based on billions of user
data records. It improves the identification
rate of potential faults by 85%, ensuring
optimal service experience. CampusInsight
collects network and application data
from network devices in real time and on
demand. Big Data and AI technologies are
used to implement network fault analysis
and proactive prediction. As a result,
CampusInsight helps build a predictive,
self-healing, closed-loop system with added
visibility for each user in real-time.
“Fast-growing technologies such as Big
Data, cloud computing, the Internet of
Things (IoT) and mobile Internet are driving
society to the next level of intelligence. It is “By introducing a new architecture for

In addition to CampusInsight, the second
campus module is the campus network
automation solution Software-Defined
Campus (SD-Campus). It implements full-
lifecycle automation of physical and virtual
networks from planning and deployment
to O&M. It is designed for medium and
large-sized campus networks and leverages
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and
cloud technologies to automate network
deployment, rollout of virtual networks
and user/application-oriented policy
management. These features help to reduce
operating expenses by 80%.
In the future, digital transformation will
drive enterprises to roll out their businesses
at a higher speed. Networks will need to
respond quickly to market and operation
needs, creating unprecedented challenges
for networks.
Huawei CloudCampus solution will continue
to evolve based on the IDN philosophy
and gradually will add more solutions
and products to adapt to more specific
application scenarios. In doing so, Huawei
aims to make campus networks truly
understand enterprise users’ business intent
and implement automatic, intelligent
network deployment and management,
laying a solid foundation for the enterprise
digital platform. n
