Huawei, a leading global provider of information and communications technology 
(ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, announced that Huawei CloudEngine 
Switches( 
https://e.huawei.com/en/products/enterprise-networking/switches/data-center-switches/) 
have been named an April 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Data 
Center Networking.

Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice[1] analyzes more than 200,000 reviews 
across more than 300 markets posted to Gartner Peer 
Insights(https://www.gartner.com/reviews/home). 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( 
https://e.huawei.com/en/solutions/business-needs/enterprise-network/data-center-network) 
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.

On January 9, 2019, Huawei unveiled the industry's first data center switch 
built for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era -- CloudEngine 16800( 
http://e.huawei.com/topic/cloud-engine2019/en/index.html?ic_medium=hwdc&ic_source=ebg_banner_EEBGHQ179Q19W&source=ebghmbanner). 
Additionally, Huawei defined three characteristics for data center switches in 
the AI era: embedded AI chips, 48-port 400 GE high-density ports per slot, and 
the capability to evolve to an Autonomous Driving Network (ADN). Based on 
CloudEngine Switches( 
https://e.huawei.com/en/products/enterprise-networking/switches/data-center-switches/) 
which leverage the power of the embedded high-performance AI chip, and use the 
innovative iLossless algorithm, Huawei launched the AI Fabric Intelligent and 
Lossless Data Center Network( 
https://e.huawei.com/en/solutions/business-needs/enterprise-network/data-center-network/ai-fabric-network). 
Designed to help customers accelerate their intelligent transformation, Huawei 
AI Fabric( 
https://e.huawei.com/en/solutions/business-needs/enterprise-network/data-center-network/ai-fabric-network) 
brings the ultimate network experience with zero packet loss, low latency, and 
high throughput. It achieves 100% AI computing power and improves data storage 
Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) by 30%, all while reducing TCO by 
53%. It is leading the way for data center networks to evolve beyond the cloud 
era, into the AI era.

"The real test for a product is the customer experience, and we believe this 
recognition from Gartner Peer Insights represents the commitment we have to our 
customers to provide world-class products for improving their ICT 
infrastructure," said Leon Wang, President of Huawei Data Center Network 
Domain. "We strive to provide our customers with the data center networking 
solutions that meet their needs, and we will continue to innovate new offerings 
and build on their feedback."
