Common Platform Summary

Comware sustains highly reliable, high-availability data networks

A Common Platform

All H3C® switching and routing technologies leverage a common, unified system management platform—the Comware® Operating System—which provides consistency of features and delivers tangible benefits to enterprises and organizations alike, including:
  • Operational Expense (OPEX) Savings — Train your technical staff once and they can manage your entire portfolio
  • High Reliability — State-of-the-art unified code base enables optimum resource utilization and richer support capabilities for selected services
  • Faster Time-to-Market — Engineering efficiencies enable H3C to rapidly bring new and custom features to market with better initial and ongoing stability
  • Modular Architecture — Facilitates enhancing and extending feature sets without wholesale changes

Providing a fully meshed approach to system management, Comware collectively enables individual architectural components to sustain highly reliable, high-availability data networks.

A Common Integration

Comware integrates technologies at the data link, Ethernet switching, Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF™), routing, MPLS, VPN, quality of service (QoS), voice and security layers to provide enterprise customers with a scalable and flexible network solution which supports multiple system structures and user management interfaces. Comware easily adapts to architectural components, is hardware- and operating system-independent, and enables exceptional customization and portability.

A Common Architecture

A shared H3C operating system consolidates administrative control over the entire switching infrastructure and contributes to a more unified network environment which provides unparalleled core-to-edge visibility and control.

For network administrators, additional features of the Comware Operating System include:

  • Common command set for all platforms — Fosters a shorter learning curve, fewer administrator errors and reduced time to troubleshoot.
  • IPv6 Ready — Supports unicast, multicast and IPv6 tunneling and translation, easing the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 networks.
  • Improved QoS interface — Traffic classification, traffic behavior and traffic policies facilitate network design, implementation and maintenance.
  • Support for multiprocessors — Protects your network infrastructure investment by future-proofing your network against obsolescence; ensures compatibility with the high-end networking devices of tomorrow.
  • Higher and clearer modularity — Easier testing and troubleshooting capabilities increase the reliability of the network, resulting in rapid and easier implementation of new features and network enhancements.

Support for the Comware Operating System is available in H3C premium enterprise switches such as the S12500, S9500, S7500E, S7500, S5800, S5820X, S5500-EI, S5500-SI, S3600-EI and S3100-EI series, as well as enterprise routers including the SR6600, MSR 50, MSR 30 and MSR 20 series.
