Frost & Sullivan awarded Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map

"Global Technology Leadership Award"

Yang Eric Christianson, Global Head of Consulting at Frost & Sullivan and Senior Partner, presented the award to Wang Hui, President of NCE Data Communication at Huawei's Data Communication Product Line.

Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map has achieved digitalization in many industries. Based on the network resources, computing resources, application service resources, end-users, and other data carried by the network digital map, it helps users solve the increasingly complex operational and maintenance issues brought about by IT technology. Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map aims to create a unified IT digital twin solution, break through operational and maintenance boundaries, achieve unified operation and maintenance of cloud, network, and applications, realize multi-dimensional and multi-layer visibility through one network, break data silos, establish an ICT big data lake, and externally output multi-dimensional dynamic topology, search and positioning, topology restoration, path navigation, and other capabilities through a map-like experience.

Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map connects to devices across the entire network or third-party systems through its open and diverse data access capabilities. It collects data on network devices, servers, applications, LLDP, MAC addresses, ARP tables, routes, etc. Then, based on topology restoration algorithms such as LLDP, MAC tables, and traffic characteristics, it presents the entire network topology, server topology, virtual network topology, and application topology from the perspective of the data center. At the same time, Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map provides capabilities such as search and positioning, application network mutual visibility, link status (packet loss, bandwidth utilization), etc.

Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map, based on network simulation algorithms, provides the capability to restore the complete network path between two IP addresses. For example: the path between a device and the external network, the path between two devices, the network path between end IPs (physical machines, virtual machines, containers, VTEP IPs), while also displaying the status of the network path (such as whether the route is interrupted, ACL blocking, port down, etc.), assisting users in quickly locating unreachable fault points and causes. In the future, Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map will collaborate with industry associations, standard organizations, and analyst institutions to promote the implementation of standards and accelerate the digitization and intelligence of the industry.

Since its launch over a year ago, Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map has been widely used in industries such as operators, government, finance, manufacturing, education, healthcare, internet, retail, and transportation. It has helped transform thousands of industries and empower new digital lives. In the financial sector, Huawei has established deep cooperation with major banks in China, such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, Bank of Communications, Huaxia Bank, and Zhejiang Merchants Bank. It has also formed partnerships with many banks internationally, including ITAU and Banco do Brasil in Brazil, providing services to over 100 financial institutions. Additionally, Huawei iMaster NCE Network Digital Map has performed excellently in government affairs, reaching cooperation agreements with over 20 government agencies such as Zhongshan Government Affairs and Wuhan Urban Brain, offering efficient network map services. In the telecommunications operator sector, Huawei has successfully served important domestic customers such as Unicom and China Mobile, and has established cooperative relationships with over 60 telecommunications operators internationally, including MTN, Orange, XL Indonesia, and OPS South Africa, further demonstrating its strong competitiveness in the field of network digital maps.

Recently, Frost & Sullivan announced the selection results for the 2023 "Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award." Based on research and analysis of the global network digital map market, as well as research and evaluation of relevant companies in the industry, Frost & Sullivan has decided to award Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map the "Global Technology Leadership Award."

The Frost & Sullivan "Best Practices Award" aims to recognize companies in various fields around the world that have outstanding performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, product quality, etc., and continue to meet customer needs. Frost & Sullivan believes that Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map continues to provide customers with decision-making advantages and market intelligence through high-precision, real-time, end-to-end geographic information services, thereby increasing value.

Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map accelerates digitalization across industries. Based on data such as network resources, computing resources, application service resources, and end users, the Network Digital Map addresses complex operational management issues caused by increasingly complex IT technologies. Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map aims to build a unified IT digital twin solution to break through operational management boundaries, implement unified operations across clouds, networks, and applications, implement multi-dimensional and multi-layer visualization of one network, eliminate data silos, and build an ICT big data lake. By offering a map-based experience, Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map provides diverse capabilities, such as multi-dimensional dynamic topology, search and locating, topology restoration, and path navigation.

Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map provides open and diversified data access capabilities for interconnection with network-wide devices or third-party systems. It collects device, server, application, LLDP, MAC, ARP, and route data on the network, and then uses topology restoration algorithms based on LLDP data, MAC address entries, and traffic features to present the overall data center network topology, server topology, virtual network topology, and application topology from the perspective of data centers. Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map also provides capabilities such as search and locating, visibility between applications and networks, and link status query (packet loss rate and bandwidth utilization).

Based on network simulation algorithms, Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map offers the capability of restoring all network paths between two IP addresses, such as paths between a device and an external network, between two devices, and between terminal IP addresses (physical machine, VM, container, and VTEP IP addresses). In addition, Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map displays the network path status (such as route interruption, ACL blocking, or port down event), facilitating locating of unreachability faults. In the future, Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map will work with industry associations, standards organizations, and analysts to promote the landing of standards and accelerate industry digitization and intelligence.

Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map has been available for over a year, and its innovative technology has been widely applied to operators, government, finance, manufacturing, education, healthcare, Internet, retail, and transportation, aiding the digital transformation of tens of thousands of industries and enabling a new digital life. In the financial industry, Huawei has established close ties with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, Bank of Communications, Huaxia Bank, and Zheshang Bank, among others. On the international market, Huawei has partnered with numerous banks, including ITAU and Banco do Brasil of Brazil, and has provided services to more than 100 financial institutions.

Meanwhile, Huawei's iMaster NCE Network Digital Map has also excelled in government affairs, forming partnerships with over 20 government organizations, including Zhongshan Government Affairs and Wuhan City Brain, to provide efficient network map services. In the field of communications carriers, Huawei has successfully served key domestic customers such as Unicom and Mobile, and has established partnerships with more than 60 communications carriers in the international market, including MTN, Orange, XL Indonesia, and OPS South Africa, further demonstrating its strong competitiveness in the field of networked digital maps.
