Cloud Camp, Cloud Fabric, and Cloud WAN networks are dedicated to managing large workplace networks.
Hamada added: “Our data center is Smart Modular 2000 manufactured by Huawei, which provides many services, especially in iCooling, UPS, and system management. The most distinctive function is the ability to regularly monitor shelves and related components such as switches or guidance devices, as well as keep track of the temperature.
In the event of any malfunction, we can easily detect and solve any problem with alarms, and when the power is cut off, we can provide electricity smoothly and permanently through UPS to ensure that there is no malfunction related to the various center services connected to the Internet.”
Hamada also expounded: “Huawei’s ADN provides comprehensive solutions that consist of a smart internal network, a broadband network,
optical transmission, and a data center, which enable companies of all sizes to move smoothly into the era of autonomous networks, as well as make smart connectivity accessible to all.”
Hamada also added that Huawei is well aware that networks are an integral part of the digital transformation of companies,
so future installed corporate networks must offer an ideal access experience to the cloud,
implement and deploy services quickly, proactively discover service changes, and constantly predict network risks.
He also made clear that it is believed that 85% of the enterprises’ applications, by year 2025, will chiefly rely on the cloud, the thing that indicates Huawei’s commitment in the field of IP networks with the aim of developing smart cloud solutions, in cooperation with global partners,
as the recently updated solutions will provide endless energy for the digital transformation of industries.
Regarding this matter, Ahmed Shibl, Director of Communications and Information Technology Projects at Badr University, mentioned:
“We are a pioneering educational institution that owns Badr University and many schools and companies specializing in this sector. Our cooperation with Huawei is not merely confined to technology,
but we always strive to provide the best educational service inside and outside our university through e-learning (distance education).
As a result, we unremittingly strive to have the best infrastructure and communication systems. Meaning, since 2014 Huawei has been working to proffer us the best technologies available,
and because of that we now have the best technologies supported by Huawei.
Indeed, these technologies range between routing, switching, wireless solutions, and data center facilities,
which provide the best coverage inside and outside the university.
We certainly take pride in our continuous cooperation with Huawei in several aspects, including our new medical city and the second branch of Badr University in Assiut Governorate, as well as the schools of the future.”
Another comment came from Samah Abu Fattouh, Director of Communications and Information Technology Projects at the National Research Center,
who confirmed that the National Research Center is one of the largest research institutes affiliated with the Ministry of Scientific Research,
and she mentioned that their cooperation with Huawei started three years ago, during which the company established the largest data center at their research center. She added that what was made by the company was an unprecedented move that secured services for wired and wireless internet,
Wi-Fi, cameras, firewalls and all components connected to it, as it is a module 2000.
She added: “We are keen to reinforce our relationship with Huawei, and we will implement the second phase of the data center to keep pace with digital transformation.
We have chosen Huawei because of its distinction in the field of information and communication technology solutions, especially in the government sector, in addition to their consultations that are stemming from experience,
as well as their excellent after-sales service. The digital transformation has provided the opportunity for our researchers to easily communicate remotely with the National Research Center and other research centers such as the Library of Alexandria,
which also features a strong data center thanks to the support of Huawei. In fact, all of the previous urged us to continue our cooperation with a leading company like Huawei. “
Mohamed Gamal, Director of the National Research Center Data Center, said: “Huawei has provided us with full and continuous support since the establishment of this project in 2017, with all the operation and maintenance processes that the company always provides. This greatly encouraged us to resume dealing with Huawei not only in the field of data center,
but in all areas of information and communication technology, especially networks, routing, and switching. Also, the coming period will witness more cooperation between Huawei and the National Research Center, and we are now considering establishing a complete system for cloud computing and many more advanced information and communication technology projects.”
For his part, Mohamed Talaat, Chief IP Technology Officer of Huawei North Africa,
confirmed that Huawei’s Cloud Campus 3.0 solution provides comprehensive smart solutions for enterprises of all sizes, as well as aids them to build contactless workplaces.
He carried on by stating that Huawei’s Cloud Campus 3.0 solution is also designed to create smart and fully wireless limited-range networks in the era of the cloud,
providing a high level of intelligence that proactively detects and improves service experience.
Talaat added that the secret of distinguishing Huawei’s solutions stems from the fact that the company is pioneering in the 5G solutions and that it utilizes its own advanced technology,
especially smart antennas, while directing the signal to the devices, which provides more power and clarity at the receiving device and simultaneously covers a distance of 20 percent more than the solutions of other companies.
Talaat also explicated that Huawei has developed industry-leading IP network solutions and a complete series of technological solutions to help customers build flexible networks in the transportation, finance, electricity, education, and enterprise sectors.
