<p class="MsoNormal">Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After recently listening to a packet pusher podcast on Huawei (sponsored by Huawei), I thought it might be a good topic to drag up again.
<a href="http://packetpushers.net/show-193-huawei-cloudengine-cloudfabric-sponsored/">

</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know ASIO recommended that NBNCo ban Huawei from bidding. Maybe justifiable for the core/PE but does the same ban hold true for customer and enterprise kit? Not being ‘privy’ to ASIO recommendations I’m not sure either way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Being government, I think we can request from the ASD generalised information but their current Evaluated products list doesn’t contain any products from Huawei.

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the CPE and enterprise markets, what are people experience and general opinion of their routing and switching products?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently an all Cisco shop but due to pressures on our budget have been reviewing this decision and testing out kit from Juniper and HP. Just wondering if we should be testing out Huawei kit too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
