Hillstone Networks is deepening its partnership with Alibaba Cloud using the exclusive enterprise edition of Qoder CN to enhance R&D efficiency and intelligence, driving AI innovation in network security.
Introduction: Hillstone Networks and Alibaba Cloud have a long-standing partnership, with close collaboration in areas such as cloud computing and network security. The full adoption of the exclusive edition of Alibaba Cloud Qoder CN by Hillstone Networks further deepens this partnership and marks a significant step in jointly promoting the application of AI technology in the network security field. In the future, Hillstone Networks will continue to work with Alibaba Cloud to explore innovative AI applications in network security, continuously improve product R&D efficiency and service quality, and provide users with smarter, more secure network security solutions to jointly protect the digital world.
Hillstone Networks recently announced its full adoption of the exclusive enterprise edition of Alibaba Cloud Qoder CN. This marks a significant step for Hillstone Networks in R&D intelligence and automation, bringing powerful AI capabilities into its development work and achieving efficiency gains across multiple dimensions.
In this collaboration, Alibaba Cloud Qoder CN provides the Hillstone Networks R&D team with end-to-end, AI-assisted support covering code development, code reviews, design document writing, and test case generation. This improves overall R&D efficiency, accelerates product iteration, and helps deliver higher-quality, more secure network security products and services to users.
According to Jiang Dongyi, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of Hillstone Networks, over 90% of the company's R&D personnel now use Qoder CN in their daily development environment. With assistance from the Alibaba Cloud Qwen-2.5 and Deepseek-r1 models invoked by the Qoder CN plugin, the code completion adoption rate is 26%, and AI-generated code now accounts for 35% of all code. The office environment is also connected to the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio platform, which improves efficiency in daily tasks such as document writing, test case creation, and meeting minute generation. These end-to-end process improvements are expected to increase R&D efficiency by 30%.

Jiang Dongyi added, "By partnering with Qoder CN, Hillstone Networks is embracing change. We are building a more comprehensive evaluation system that includes 'code productivity,' 'development throughput,' 'bug escape rate,' and 'developer satisfaction rate.' This system helps us measure how AI coding actually changes the code produced by each developer. In the future, as Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to evolve, AI will certainly bring comprehensive, multi-level improvements to programming, leading to a more intelligent era of creation. Developers who do not embrace AI will be left behind."
In the current wave of digital transformation, network security is increasingly important, and user demands for network security products are becoming more diverse and personalized. Consequently, the R&D efficiency of technology companies has become a key competitive advantage. To respond quickly to market demands, Hillstone Networks, as an industry innovator, has always been committed to exploring cutting-edge technologies, improving R&D efficiency, and building a more agile and efficient R&D system. The introduction of the exclusive edition of Alibaba Cloud Qoder CN is an important step for Hillstone Networks in its pursuit of R&D intelligence.
The exclusive edition of Alibaba Cloud Qoder CN is based on Alibaba Cloud's self-developed LLM technology. It features powerful code understanding and generation capabilities, providing developers with features such as intelligent code completion, code review, code refactoring and improvements, and unit test generation. The Hillstone Networks R&D team uses these features to:
As a publicly listed company specializing in network security, Hillstone Networks faced a dual challenge in its technology selection: mitigating the risk of code asset leakage while overcoming the cost barriers of traditional on-premises tool deployments. This was a key obstacle to the company's intelligent transformation.
The exclusive enterprise edition of Qoder CN provided a breakthrough solution for this transformation challenge. Based on a cloud-native private deployment architecture, the solution meets enterprise-level code security management standards and provides a multi-layered data protection system with a "zero data feedback" commitment for training data. Compared to the technical constraints of some AI tools, Qoder CN also offers an open and inclusive approach to intellectual property, leaving ample room for strategic collaboration.
Notably, the solution's forward-looking technology deeply resonated with Hillstone Networks' strategic vision. On one hand, the pioneering "AI programmer" agent architecture of Qoder CN precisely meets the complex needs of enterprise-level development scenarios. On the other hand, Alibaba Cloud's continuous R&D investment ensures that the product maintains its industry-leading technology and service guarantees in multi-language environments and hybrid development frameworks. This combination of advanced technology and robust service was the core driver for this strategic partnership.
Hillstone Networks and Alibaba Cloud have a long-standing partnership with close collaboration in areas such as cloud computing and network security. The full adoption of the exclusive edition of Alibaba Cloud Qoder CN by Hillstone Networks not only deepens this partnership but also marks a significant milestone in their joint effort to promote the application of AI technology in the network security field.
In the future, Hillstone Networks will continue to work with Alibaba Cloud to actively explore innovative AI applications in network security, continuously improve R&D efficiency and service quality, and provide users with smarter and more secure network security solutions to jointly protect the digital world.
