IBM GDPS and Server Time Protocol (STP)ApplicationQualificationsupport for the Huawei OptiX OSN 6800 / OSN 3800 V100R004 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Platform
International Business Machines Corporation and Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. have successfully completed application qualification testing ofthe Huawei OptiX OSN 6800 / OSN 3800 V100R004 Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Platform for the following IBM Parallel Sysplex and Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS) IBM System z10, z9 and IBM eServer zSeries 990 and 890 environments:
2455 South RoadPoughkeepsie, New York 12601August 21, 2008
GDPS / Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) (Metro Mirror) using ESCON or Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), IBM Sysplex Timer and InterSystem Channel-3 (ISC-3) for synchronous remote data copy applications.
GDPS / Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) (Metro Mirror) using ESCON or Fibre Channel (FCP) for remote data copy and ISC-3 Peer Mode links with STP message passing for server time synchronization.
GDPS / Extended Remote Copy (XRC) (z/OS Global Mirror) using FICON for asynchronous remote copy.
Distances for the protocols supported fortheseGDPSapplicationsaredefinedin the Qualification Results Summarybelow. Although STP applications have been successfully tested to a distance of 200 km, IBM requires an RPQ (8P2263) to assure applications between 100 km and 200 km adhere to the bounds of our qualification.This isduetothecriticalrequirement of assuring that no more than 900m of differential delay was introduced into the network. It may also be possible to support some protocols at greater distances, such as FICON, FCP, ESCON and InterSwitch Links (ISLs) if approved by IBM RPQ 8P2263.

Huawei Enterprise Campus SolutionThe world where we live is now undergoing many increasingly apparent changes. For example, enterprise services are expanding to multimedia services from previously simple voice services; the infrastructure network is evolved from wireline to hybrid wireline and wireless; and network access is shifting from desktop access to ubiquitous access from multiple types of terminals. At the same time, with the advent of the cloud computing era, cloud campus networks are inevitable because of their prominent
features such as anytime, anywhere, and ubiquitous access, high speed, andunifiedandintelligentdesign.
Within the campus network, there are diversifiedapplicationrequirements,forexample, high-speed access of dense population and terminals, WLAN mobile office, multimedia service support (including IP telephony, v ideoconferencing, and v ideo surveillance), and secure access of external users.
To respond to campus network development trends and meet diversified application requirements,Huawei has released a series of enterprise campus network solutions, including a 10GE campus solution, a campus voice services solution, and a wireless campus solution. These solutions help enterprises build out a high-speed, intelligent, convergent, energy-conserving, and safe campus network.

Huawei Enterprise Campus Voice Services Solution
Voice services are required for every campus network. Estimates show that the 2012 global voice market will be worth US$7.4 billion. The campus voice services market that Huawei can participate in includes:
Campus voice network reconstruction market:
TDM PBXs will be phased out and more value-added services will emerge. Against this backdrop, a converged voice, data, and security network is urgently needed. Huawei AR devices can meet this demand with their all-in-one service capabilities.
New campus projects of governments, verticals, and high-tech parks:
Enterprises may rent carriers' VoIP networks or build their own voice networks.
Unifiedcommunications(UC)infrastructuremarket:
Provides voice infrastructure for UC integrators. Huawei AR devices can integrate with Huawei UC, Microsoft OCS, and IBM Sametime systems.

Industry Trends Huawei Opportunities
Government/Education/Large enterprise
Emerging countries will incorporate national IT transformation projects (national broadband projects) into their national strategies.
Safe cities, distance education, and distance healthcare will be quickly deployed.
Network coverage will grow as globalization and informatization are moving forward worldwide.
Builds new IP WANs and expands the capacity of existing IP WANs
Electric power/Transportation/Energy
IP technologies are increasingly used worldwide. As a result, more IP backbone networks that support legacy TDM services (features: light load, service-centric, and high requirements for latency, protection, and OAM) will be constructed around the world.
TDM network reconstruction
Builds new IP data networks and expands the capacity of existing IP data networks.
ISP
Marketcompetitionbecomesfiercerthanbefore.To stay ahead of competition, the customer will quickly distribute multimedia content to the borders of metropolitan area networks (MANs).
Customers will begin to build their own backbone networks rather than continue leasing such networks due to considerations of bandwidth requirements and leasing fees.

New Networks, New Blue Oceans, and New Opportunities
Countriesaroundtheworldarebuildingalargenumberofdatacentersduetothedramaticincreaseoftrafficandthe growing popularity of cloud computing. Network devices function as a bridge in data centers and play a key role in data center projects. Estimates reveal that the network device part for data center projects in the Chinese market will hit CNY4.84 billion in 2012, while the global amount will reach US$10.1 billion. Such huge market potential inevitably generates numerous project opportunities.
Against this backdrop, Huawei has proposed a concept of "next-generation data center network (NGDCN)", helping thecustomerconfidentlyembracetheinformationera.

SolutionOverview
The wide area network (WAN) is divided into three layers based on the size of governmental units: Layer-1 network (national backbone network), Layer-2 network (provincial backbone network), and Layer-3 network (city-level backbone network). The three networks are built using backbone routers. The networks consist of the backbone network, metropolitan area network (MAN), and access network for governmental units at the national, provincial, and city levels respectively.
All thebackbone network nodes are configured in HA mode. The services will be quickly switched over to the standby node or link in the case of a node or link failure, ensuring uninterrupted services.
The services of different governmental units are isolated using MPLS VPN, which also gives highest priority to real-time VPNs and ensures low latency and no packet loss.
