What is Huawei Switch Series?

Huawei offers switches built for two main purposes. They are their Data Center Switches, and Campus Switches. Like the name suggests, the Data Center Switches are built primarily for use in Data Centers. They are used for various applications and feature network scaling, automation, programmability, and real-time visibility. Campus Switches are primarily made for enterprises, governments, education, manufacturing etc. They offer advantages such as simplified management, high reliability, and service intelligence

Due to Huawei’s large Switch offering, they allow for rapid growth of virtualization, Big Data, and cloud services.

What is Grafana?

Grafana is an open-source platform and interactive visualization web application, for monitoring and observability. It allows you to query, visualize, alert on, and understand your metrics from multiple locations. With Grafana, it is possible to create, explore, and share dashboards with your team to build a data driven culture. It is often used in combination with time series databases such as Prometheus and Graphite.

Grafana can visualize the machine’s CPU, memory, network and other resource utilization with Prometheus and Grafana. It is also possible to visualize and alert for a high number of incoming web requests in your web app. MetricFire's Grafana as a Service is offered as a simple and effective way to visualize your Graphite and Prometheus metrics. This means setup is convenient and quick, so you can start making your Grafana dashboards right away.
