Huawei Recognized as an April 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Data Center Networking

Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, announced that Huawei CloudEngine Switches have been named an April 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Data Center Networking.

Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice analyzes more than 200,000 reviews across more than 300 markets posted to Gartner Peer Insights. These reviews are based on direct peer experiences of purchasing, implementing, and operating a solution. In markets with sufficient data available, Gartner Peer Insights recognizes the vendors who are the most highly rated by their customers through the Customers’ Choice distinction.

Huawei has been operating in data center network markets. Since its launch in 2012, Huawei’s CloudFabric Cloud Data Center Network Solution has been deployed in more than 7,800 enterprise data centers in over 120 countries. While the above is based on customer feedback, in July 2018, Gartner analysts named Huawei a Challenger in the 2018 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Networking^[2] for the second year running.
