With the development of networking technologies, the requirement for a networking device are no longer simply routers or switches that can provide data forwarding capabilities. Instead, customers expect the networking device that can support a wide variety of applications. However, there is no individual vendor who is able to offer single product that can deal with all the requirements from customers. Thus, currently there is an urgent need for a total solution that can integrate network and applications to suit customer’s needs.

H3C‘s OAA (open application architecture) is currently the only solution that can suit the applications above. H3C MSR is such kind of new generation multi-service integrated routers which is built on OAA mindset. With this feature, MSR series can provide open software / hardware interfaces and support standard application software. The open platform allows third-party vendors to develop more services, so as to create a win-win result by leveraging each other’s advantages. In other words, OAA structure makes it possible to integrate devices and software from numerous vendors. For users, they operate and manage all these elements as if they were running a single device.

With OAA, MSR is able to offer customers a more cost-effective solution and stronger investment protection by supporting multi-service integration and extension, providing a flexible and easy service deployment capabilities. As a total solution, the MSR series significantly reduce the operating costs while making it much easier for network and service deployment.
