Laying the foundation for digital finance | H3C launches S12500G-EF, a new generation of green smart switches

On April 25, New H3C Group, a subsidiary of Tsinghua Unigroup, officially debuted its new generation of green smart switches, S12500G-EF, at the China International Finance Exhibition. The newly launched S12500G-EF switch is based on high-performance AI computing modules and green energy-saving design. With four integrated advantages of security and reliability, ultra-wide interconnection, intelligent lossless, and green and low-carbon, it is aimed at the upgrade and development of financial data centers in the next 5 to 10 years, helping financial institutions to consolidate their digital foundation capabilities, "build a secure ubiquitous financial network, and build a green and highly available data center."

Financial data centers have always carried the strong demands of "security, stability and business continuity" for financial services. Starting from building a solid "digital foundation" for financial transformation and innovative development, H3C Group actively responds to the construction needs and challenges of financial high-performance data centers, and leads the trend of financial green data center construction with four major innovative advantages.

Safe and reliable, key components are 100% independently innovated

H3C S12500G-EF's key components are 100% independently innovated, effectively guaranteeing the information construction of data security; equipped with the self-developed software platform Comware operating system, the modular operating system makes operation faster on the basis of integrating rich network features; further open architecture, so that it has the characteristics of containerization and programmable architecture. Key components such as the main control, network board and business board have independent intellectual property rights, which can effectively guarantee the information construction of data security and efficiently assist the financial industry in the digital transformation of the comprehensive enterprise architecture of business architecture, data architecture and IT architecture.

Ultra-broadband interconnection, seamless upgrade to 800G in the future

H3C S12500G-EF can support ultra-wide 400G and can be seamlessly upgraded to 800G in the future, ready for the next generation of ultra-wide interconnection; the hardware design has 112G Serdes transmission capability to meet the business expansion needs in the next 5-10 years; at the same time, more diverse new technologies are incorporated into the product design, such as M8-level low-loss PCB, ultra-low-loss high-speed connectors, suspended high-speed channel design, 100-second startup, and full encryption of data traffic.

Intelligent and lossless, ensuring zero packet loss in financial services

H3C S12500G-EF can provide high-performance AI computing modules to create a computing platform that is deeply integrated with the network and driven by intelligent algorithms. Through the self-developed LossLess algorithm, it can continuously perceive the network and business status, continuously collect ROCE data flows such as PFC, ECN, ROCE session packet loss rate, bandwidth, queues, etc., perform aggregate statistics, and conduct precise network traffic analysis and intelligent AI reasoning training to meet the computing power needs of digital finance.

At the same time, H3C's self-developed lossless algorithm has strong adaptability and can handle complex multi-ROCE queue mixed traffic scenarios. Through the self-developed LossLess algorithm, it accurately matches the statistical data with an AI model and adjusts multiple queues to solve transmission congestion, meet the needs of different application scenarios, achieve high throughput and low latency requirements, and ensure "0" packet loss for existing network user business traffic.

The S12500G-EF series switch RDMA intelligent lossless network function can effectively replace the traditional IB and FC networks and realize the integration of three networks.

Green and low-carbon, helping data centers reduce PUE

The H3C S12500G-EF adopts a green and energy-saving design. The carbon emissions of each switch are reduced by about 58% compared with the previous generation, actively responding to the national dual carbon strategy; optimizing green material selection, new electromechanical design and AI precise control performance, helping to reduce the PUE of data centers and build green finance on the network operation side.

Green material selection: Condensing liquid cooling and advanced heat dissipation device selection can effectively improve the heat dissipation performance of the equipment and reduce power consumption.

New electromechanical design: adopts front and rear air duct design to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment.

AI precise control: The noise-reducing fan is combined with AI automatic algorithm speed regulation to reduce the power consumption of the whole machine by up to 15%.

With 30 years of deep involvement in the financial industry and as a participant and enabler of financial digital transformation, H3C S12500G-EF, the new generation of green smart switch launched by H3C Group, will assist in the construction of financial green data centers with a new high-performance, low-carbon and energy-saving approach, and further lay the foundation for the construction of digital finance.

In the future, H3C Group will continue to adhere to the "Cloud Native" strategy, constantly explore new technologies and products, meet the needs of financial institutions for digital transformation and development, provide them with more convenient, efficient, secure and reliable digital solutions, and help the in-depth development of financial technology transformation.
