Huawei unveils Cloud EPN Solution

Huawei has launched its Cloud Enterprise Private Network (CloudEPN) solution for enterprise interconnection. The solution helps carriers to provide on-demand and cost-effective enterprise leased line services with cloud-based visualized O&M.

Huawei’s CloudEPN solution supports SD-WAN and CloudVPN modes and allows for smooth evolution, meeting customers' service requirements in different phases. The solution helps carriers to provide on-demand and cost-effective enterprise leased line services with cloud-based visualized O&M. With this solution, carriers are able to implement digital transformation and explore more opportunities in B2B markets with fast growth in the cloud era.

For carriers, Huawei’s CloudEPN Solution helps to provide one-stop enterprise interconnection services and value-added services (VASs) on demand. Customers can use the ecommerce-style service platform to subscribe to or reserve enterprise interconnection services and VASs. For example, the platform can be used to request network connections for a new branch, define bandwidth adjustment policies, and apply for cloud multimedia communication and audio and video conference call resources. After the subscription is completed, customers' service requirements are automatically assigned and delivered.

The services that need to be provisioned for 30 days on a traditional leased line can be packaged, ordered, and delivered online in only five minutes. It only takes 15 minutes for order review and device packing and delivery. With this solution, carriers can rapidly respond to service changes of enterprise customers. The CloudEPN Solution also supports cloud-based visualized O&M. Enterprise-side CPEs are plug-and-play. Carriers' NOCs provide remote and automatic network management and maintenance, without onsite maintenance. The solution reduces 90% onsite maintenance costs.

For enterprises, Huawei’s CloudEPN solution combines low-cost internet links with leased line links. The solution fully uses advantages of wide coverage and the low cost of the Internet, ensuring the quality of key services and reducing 50% of WAN bandwidth rental costs. The solution implements application-based intelligent traffic scheduling, transmits high-quality services over leased line links and low-quality services over Internet links.

"Huawei CloudEPN Solution aims to help carriers to provide agile and on-demand enterprise interconnection services for customers, meeting requirements of rapid innovations and fast changes of enterprise services. The solution helps carriers to grasp opportunities during enterprises' B2B digital transformation, attract new enterprise customers, retain old customers, continuously increase B2B market revenue, and achieve business success," said Li Xianyin, General Manager of Huawei Enterprise Gateway Domain.
