Hu Kewen, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, released the CloudEngine 16800, a new generation of 400GE data center switches

The popularization of 5G and the Internet of Things in the new infrastructure and the development of cloud and artificial intelligence technologies have jointly driven the explosive growth in computing power demand. Computing power infrastructure such as data centers and intelligent computing centers require a new generation of 400GE large-scale data center networks; the one thousandth packet loss rate of traditional data center networks will result in only 50% of AI computing power, and data centers need a new generation of intelligent and lossless data center networks; in addition, as the scale of data centers expands, it is fully recognized that SDN (software-defined networking) only solves the limitation of deployment automation, and data centers urgently need to upgrade to a new intelligent operation and maintenance solution with comprehensive automation.

Hu Kewen, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, said: "In order to meet the above demands, the next- generation data center network in the intelligent era must have three major features: 400GE intelligent ultra-broadband , zero-packet-loss intelligent connection, and intelligent operation and maintenance of autonomous driving networks . "

Intelligent ultra-broadband: The industry's highest density 768 * 400GE , helping to provide massive computing power

Huawei CloudEngine 16800, a new generation of 400GE data center switches , has made technical breakthroughs in hardware in the fields of extreme technology, high-speed information transmission loss , and unit Gbit power consumption , achieving the industry's largest 768-port 400GE switching capacity on a single machine ; software has made technical breakthroughs in functions such as automated configuration , routing protocols, and intelligent data analysis , improving equipment integration and network visualization, meeting the needs of the new generation of data centers in the intelligent era for doubling computing power and ultra-large-scale networking. In scenarios such as computing power cloud, the new generation of 400GE large-scale networking reduces the complexity of business communications , bringing about a significant increase in computing power benefits.

At the same time , Huawei and the authoritative China Telecommunication Technology Laboratory jointly announced that Huawei's new generation flagship data center switch CloudEngine 16800, with 768 400GE ports in a full frame , passed the rigorous test of forwarding performance in serpentine networking . This is the largest 400GE test in the industry , fully demonstrating the industry-leading 400GE performance of Huawei CloudEngine 16800.

The new optical interface of Huawei's CloudEngine 16800 new-generation 400GE data center switch is based on technological breakthroughs in optical devices in multi-layer integrated circuits, signal processing intelligent optical engines, and intelligent fault prediction. It reduces the transmission energy consumption of 400GE optical modules by 15 %, increases the transmission distance by 5 times, and actively identifies 90% of optical link risks, ensuring sustainable computing power.

Intelligent connectivity: The industry's only new generation 400GE data center switch with zero packet loss, increasing computing power by 27 %  

Huawei CloudEngine 16800, a new generation of 400GE data center switches , includes an original intelligent lossless algorithm to achieve zero packet loss in the network, which can improve data computing efficiency by 27 % and data storage efficiency by 30 % , ensuring service experience . At the same time, the new generation of intelligent lossless data center network integrates computing, storage, and service networks, reducing TCO by 30 %. Currently, more than 100 data centers around the world have completed the deployment of zero packet loss intelligent lossless networks .

Intelligent Operation and Maintenance: The industry's only L3 data center autonomous driving network , reducing OPEX by 43 %

To cope with the multiple-fold growth in data center scale brought about by 400GE deployment , Huawei's CloudEngine 16800 new-generation 400GE data center switch , based on new intelligent operation and maintenance , implements the industry's only L3 data center full-life cycle autonomous driving network, and achieves early prediction of unknown faults based on the intelligent operation and maintenance capabilities of 1-minute fault perception, 3-minute fault location, and 5-minute fault repair. The automatic fault location rate is increased to 98 % , reducing OPEX by 43%.

Hu Kewen, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, concluded: "In the digital economy era, the information division of labor and collaboration among thousands of industries will be further strengthened. The massive data connection built by 400GE can enable efficient collaboration between various fields of new infrastructure and improve the efficiency of new infrastructure. Huawei has released the CloudEngine 16800 new generation 400GE data center switch. We hope to actively embrace 400GE with customers based on the three major innovations of new platform, new optical interface and new intelligence , and open up more business scenario innovations . "

Huawei has more than 20 years of professional experience in the IP network field, and continues to build the competitiveness of intelligent IP network products and solutions, serving operators and customers in the financial, government, transportation, energy and other industries in more than 100 countries around the world. Huawei's CloudEngine 16800 new generation 400GE data center switch will help customers accelerate digital transformation and jointly build a fully connected intelligent world.
