During Huawei China Partner Conference 2025, Liu Chao, Product Director of Fnetlink, delivered a speech entitled "One Network for Large Enterprises - Building a Digital Underlying Foundation to Help Enterprises Develop High-Quality". He deeply analyzed the challenges faced by large enterprises in the process of digital transformation, and shared how Fnetlink can help customers make top-level planning based on Huawei's large-scale enterprise one network solution, and complete the whole process of network construction and fully managed operation.
In his speech, Liu Chao pointed out that the digital transformation of Chinese enterprises has entered the stage of deep exploration, and is in the process of advancing from digitalization to digital intelligence. The transformation progress of different industries and enterprises is clearly stratified. Traditional fragmented networks have become a bottleneck for intensive management and control of large enterprises and a bottleneck for system replacement. It is imperative to build a safe and reliable integrated digital foundation.
Liu Chao further analyzed the difficulties and challenges faced by large enterprise networks:
(I) How to make a good top-level design plan? In the early stage of digitalization, large enterprises built their second- and third-level units separately, resulting in information islands. When building a network, we face difficulties such as difficulty in unified management, difficulty in designing business models, fragmented construction, and repeated investment.
(II) How to build efficiently? In the network construction stage, large enterprises face the problems of low efficiency and long cycle, such as the need for operators in multiple locations to verify resources, difficulty in building access and high charges, long line opening cycle, opaque delivery process and difficulty in management.
(III) How to unify management & efficient operation In the operation stage, if large enterprises want to operate a network intensively, they face the problems of lack of professional operation and maintenance teams or insufficient personnel, insufficient experience in large-scale network operation and maintenance, buck-passing between suppliers when problems occur, and inability to keep up with the speed of new technology changes.
In response to the above challenges, Liu Chao introduced in detail the four advantages of the overall architecture of Oplink's "One Network":
First, each branch and subsidiary deploys a branch egress network security fusion SASE gateway to combine network and security into one, which not only ensures the high-performance establishment of SD-WAN network, but also has the ability to protect border security. The gateway and controller are linked to update the virus signature database in real time. Combined with Fnetlink's NSOC monitoring service, customers can save equipment costs and enjoy high-quality network + security professional hosting services, truly realizing "one safe network".
Second, Fnetlink uses Huawei's self-innovated hardware in the one network solution, with a fully self-developed system, which highly meets policy requirements while ensuring excellent performance and reliability.
Third, it is based on "one cloud" to achieve intensive management of applications. By establishing a group backbone network (divided into three modes: self-built and self-maintained, built and maintained by others, and jointly built and maintained by others, you can choose one of them), all the first, second and third-level branch networks can access "one cloud" at high speed, forming a "one network" of cloud network security integration.
Fourth, based on Huawei HiSec SASE controller to manage all SASE gateways, Fnetlink reads the alarm information of devices and lines based on the northbound API of the controller, combined with the backbone traffic monitoring system, to escort customers' networks 7*24. Once an alarm occurs, a work order will be generated according to the level, and AI+ engineers will deal with it in collaboration.
This solution also meets the needs of multiple scenarios, including but not limited to global networking, Internet port closing, IPv6/SRv6 transformation, policy compliance, zero-trust secure office, etc.
Liu Chao also shared a case of a central enterprise group successfully building and operating a single network: In order to strengthen intensive management, the group customer first built a cloud for the group, deployed OA on a cloud, and required all branches and subsidiaries to uniformly access the OA of a cloud, realizing the intensiveness of some core applications. Next, the customer adopted the Optical Network One Network solution to transform the digital infrastructure. The group level built a group backbone network through the "co-construction and maintenance" model, and deployed Huawei SASE converged gateways in the branches of the second and third-level companies to achieve branch access to the nearest POP point, or access to the POP point after hierarchical aggregation, and completed the overall one network layout in batches. At the same time, Huawei iMasterNCE controllers were deployed in a cloud to achieve unified management of equipment and lines. Customers have gradually realized the unified access of all branches and subsidiaries to a single network, gradually solving the information islands caused by the customer's fragmented construction, realizing efficient and intensive management, and accelerating the process of digital transformation.
In this case, as Huawei's capable MSP partner, Fnetlink provides customers with high-quality backbone access resources with its own ISP qualifications, helping branches at all levels to efficiently access the backbone network and seamlessly access cloud applications, successfully breaking the information island and solving the problems of decentralized construction and repeated investment. At the same time, Fnetlink also designed a new business model for the customer's digital technology company to serve a wide range of customer groups inside and outside the group. It is worth mentioning that Fnetlink's efficiency and professionalism in the project construction process have won high praise from customers. Due to the wide distribution of customer branches, the project needs to coordinate multiple regions, multiple operators and properties to complete a series of complex tasks such as line access and equipment debugging. Through digital full-process project management, Fnetlink enables customers to control the construction progress in real time and ensure that every link is clear and transparent. What satisfies customers most is the fully managed operation and maintenance service provided by Fnetlink. Customers no longer need to form a professional network operation and maintenance team, nor do they need to purchase equipment and controllers at one time; Fnetlink adopts a light asset service model and delivers all equipment, lines and services in the form of monthly or annual rental packages. The professional team of Fnetlink's NSOC operation center provides 24/7 network protection. Once any problem is found, customers will be notified and troubleshooted immediately, completely avoiding the problem of repeated communication between equipment vendors, pipeline vendors, cloud/IDC providers and security vendors, thus demonstrating the excellent standards of professional MSP services.
As a leading global network service provider, Fnetlink Century has built a global security network with the innovative application of SD-WAN technology and intelligent network. By integrating AI technology, Fnetlink not only realizes the intelligence of network security, but also promotes the implementation of automated operations, further improving the reliability and efficiency of the network. Its cross-border networking, cross-border acceleration, secure acceleration and secure networking solutions help enterprises achieve efficient and secure network connections worldwide, and fully guarantee the smooth progress of digital transformation.
Fnetlink joins hands with Huawei to provide enterprises with a combination of "the best products + the most professional services". Through the "one network for large enterprises" solution, we jointly build a strong digital foundation for enterprises and continue to provide professional services to help enterprises achieve high-quality development.
