360Quadrants,
the world’s only comparison platform that combines expert analysis with
crowdsourced reviews, has released a quadrant on managed services to help
businesses make quicker and more informed decisions.
Managed Services is defined as services deployed by an
enterprise to manage their IT infrastructure. Managed
services help enterprises control their expanding IT infrastructure and focus
on their core competencies. By using managed services, enterprises can move
away from maintaining and managing their IT functions such as IT
infrastructure, network management, security, communication and collaboration,
and data centres.
Huawei
Technologies Co. Ltd. is a multinational consumer electronics and
telecommunications equipment manufacturer of Chinese origin. It has a robust
portfolio of managed services. On 360Quadrants, it is designated as a Visionary
Leader in managed services and has made its presence felt by catering to
multiple organizations. As a Visionary Leader, Huawei has a strong business
strategy and sees continuous growth in this market.
Recently, China Telecom Henan deployed
Huawei’s CloudCampus solution for one of Henan Province’s five-star hotels.
CloudCampus allows the hotel to undertake cloud-based management of several
processes, including operations and maintenance (O&M) and network planning
and deployment. The hotel will also undertake the development of managed LAN
services.
Traditionally, technical personnel operate
on site for O&M and network deployment. This traditional model consumes
significant labour and time and is not ideal to meet the expanding demand for
enterprise and government services. Cloud-based management solutions, such as
those provided by Huawei, deploy unified management architecture and remote
O&M models to aid operators in the planning of their government and
enterprise services.
Through CloudCampus, Huawei gives users the
benefits of cloud-based network management throughout the lifecycle, starting
from when the network is planned and deployed all the way to O&M and
inspection. Swift deployment of networks helps enterprises in the reduction of
their operating expenses. CloudCampus also provides support for several tenants
and multi-functional networks, thus allowing for centralized management and
value-added managed LAN services.
The cloud platform has open APIs that can
be tailored as per the requirements of third-party partners, thus helping
enterprises obtain a multitude of value-added services. This ultimately leads
to the improvement of enterprise client experience, development of more
competitive services, and the creation of a B2B ecosystem for operators.
360Quadrants also lists competitors of Huawei in the managed
services space.
