China’s Huawei is trying to make up for a lack of trust by expanding its software-defined networking support. To do so, it’s just launched an Agile Data Center Cloud Connect Solution, which we’ll helpfully refer to as ADCCCS from now on.

Huawei says its ADCCCS is based on two key components: the Agile Controller Platform and its own CloudEngine data center switches. ADCCCS follows a typical enough SDN approach, aiming to deliver better system provisioning and automation, with each service represented by its own application profile.

Using the Agile Controller, ADCCCS can present services from three different viewpoints – their application profiles, the logical network and the physical network. New application profiles can be created by admins, which can then be automatically converted into logical networks and delivered as configurations to network devices. According to Huawei, this allows the environment to adjust or migrate network resources on-demand, according to whatever the service requirements are.

ADCCCS is compatible not only with Huawei’s kit, but also those of several top vendors. It includes connections to Microsoft’s Cloud OS, which Huawei says has already been deployed in China Mobile’s Guangdong-based cloud data center; VMware’s vCloud management, NSX network virtualization and VxLAN; OpenStack and an assortment of other open-source platforms; and finally, Huawei’s FusionSphere cloud.

Huawei says that ADCCCS builds upon its orginal Cloud Fabric Data Center, which Network Product Line president Liu Shaowei says has more than 1,800 of its high-end CE12800 switches deployed with over 360 customers.
