I participated in E Birr Infrastructure presentation yesterday and below is my comment for the devices that
are going to be used in deployment.
No Device Name Good feature
1 Huawei E9000 Three servers  supports flexible configurations of single-
slot, dual-slot, full-width, and half-width
Converged (2 for App & 1 for nodes and can accommodate up to 16
Infrastructure Chassis DB) Huawei CH series half-width compute
nodes
Two Switches()  4 slots for Huawei CX series switch
modules provide a mid-plane
switching capability of 15.6 Tbit/s
Ocean storage  Supports SAS/SAT TA/NL-SAS
 Supports ethernet,FC,IB,FCoE ports
 Smart data migration
 Innovative convergences
 Has virtualization features
Management  Uses HMMs that has many features
like GUI,KVM and HW monitoring
2 2 FortiGate 500D firewalls  Delivers next generation firewall
capabilities like: high performance,
security efficacy and deep visibility
 Delivers an extensive routing,
switching, wireless controller
and high performance IPsec VPN
capabilities to consolidate
networking and security
functionality
 Enables flexible deployment
such as Next Generation
Firewall
and Secure SD-WAN
limitation
 They need to have some
hardware security features to
protect the in-band and out-
band data flow. They
presenter are not sure if the
servers do have such features
or they didn’t provide
alternative solution.
 ALL ports require 10G speed
from CBO’s side
 Complex to configure (has two
types of ports internal and
external) and this requires
considerable knowledge to
integrate the product to CBO’s
existing system.
Configuration is not simple as it
has hierarchical/parent-child nodes
for resource allocation but it’s
manageable if the team gets some
training or by self-reading the
configuration guide
 The network operating system
(VyOs) is not licensed
 Configuring switches on GUI
results errors(lacks stability)
and we should use only CLI
It lacks capability to identify and
stop threats with powerful
intrusion prevention
beyond port and protocol that
examines the actual content
of
your network traffic
