<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
Personally, I'm more worried about their software quality control,
especially on the security side. Have a listen to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://risky.biz/RB250">http://risky.biz/RB250</a> - their security flaws sound like the types
affecting home NASs and one-man PHP coding shops, not
enterprise-grade suppliers.<br>
<br>
That podcast was nearly two years ago. Personally, I'm skeptical
about their ability to turn around such a poor security culture in
two years. Your opinion may vary.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Paul<br>
<br>
P.S. Note that HP Networking's Comware gear (i.e. not the ProCurve
range) contains H3C (Huawei/3Com partnership) roots. I'm
personally a lot more comfortable with that than with Huawei on
their own. At least they have established security teams and
defined processes for issuing advisories.<br>

<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.

<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.</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.

<p class="MsoNormal">In the CPE and enterprise markets, what are
people experience and general opinion of their routing and
switching products?</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.</p>
