Ruijie Networks escorts Guangzhou's "Digital Asian Games"

With the Chinese women's volleyball team's first spike, the Chinese Asian Games team won 199 gold medals, the most in history, at the 16th Asian Games, once again demonstrating the "Power of China". Behind this impressive record, not only the hard work of every athlete and coach is condensed, but also the dream of national manufacturers such as Ruijie Networks to realize the "Digital Asian Games" through innovative means has been realized.

This Asian Games has 42 events and 70 venues. There are about 12,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions, more than 4,600 technical officials and referees, more than 10,000 journalists and media personnel, 660,000 volunteers, and 4 million tourists. It is the largest event in the history of the Asian Games with the most events, the largest number of participants, and the largest scale. In order to make the Guangzhou Asian Games the most digital and networked Asian Games, its network solution must meet extremely high standards, and safe and stable operation and maintenance during the event must be foolproof.

Ruijie Networks, which undertook the important task of building the Asian Games ADMIN management network, faced extremely severe challenges. Ruijie Networks, with its strong technical strength and professional service team, solved the major problems brought about by the "increase in weight" of the 2010 Asian Games, and helped the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee to plan and make light of the "heavy" task.

Strengthening the Asian Games' "Digital Skeleton" with Technology

The backbone of the Digital Asian Games mainly relies on two major networks, namely the Asian Games Management Network (ADMIN) and the Asian Games Events (AGIS) two dedicated computer networks. They provide the most basic technical guarantee for the establishment of a complete, powerful and integrated "Digital Asian Games" information system for this Asian Games, and the realization of digital and intelligent operation and management.

As the organizer of the Asian Games, the Asian Games Organizing Committee needs to prepare and coordinate a lot of work. Effective organization and management must rely on the ADMIN private network, which integrates more than 20 different systems such as portal websites, OA offices, KM (knowledge management system), CRM systems, project management systems, information release systems (IRS), and multimedia information systems to provide comprehensive, secure, stable, and continuous strong support for the Asian Games command network. Ruijie Networks provides the current Asian Games Organizing Committee with a highly stable, secure, high-performance, high-cost-effective ADMIN private network platform solution with my country's independent intellectual property rights, in view of the wide range of ADMIN private network construction, long construction schedule, and many businesses involved, as well as the high requirements for operation and maintenance services during the Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

In the design of the ADMIN private network solution, Ruijie Networks built a network with Tianhe Sports Center as the core, covering five venue clusters, including the University Town Venue Cluster, Tianhe Sports Center Venue Cluster, Olympic Sports Center Venue Cluster, Baiyun New Town Venue Cluster, and Guangzhou New Town Asian Games Village Venue Cluster, and 70 competition venues.

ADMIN private network has extremely high requirements for reliability. In view of this feature, Ruijie Networks strictly controls the infrastructure in network design, and ensures the reliability of the network itself with multiple network technologies such as redundant links (redundant links are used between core and aggregation layer nodes), redundant equipment (dual machines are used for core and aggregation layer equipment), etc. In terms of network equipment selection, Ruijie Network equipment that has been tested in practice in many major international and domestic projects is used to ensure the linkage and integration of private networks and security products.

A variety of QoS technologies were also used in the ADMIN private network of this Asian Games. Ruijie Networks used four QoS tags in the ADMIN private network to provide different levels of services based on the business needs within the network, ensuring that key businesses are not affected in the event of congestion, achieving QoS guarantees, and combining technologies such as fast routing convergence and DiffServ to ensure the availability, stability and differentiated service capabilities of the private network.

In terms of ensuring high performance, Ruijie Networks has considered a certain amount of redundancy based on the traffic forecast of the ADMIN private network and combined with the mainstream networking technology on the market to support 10G and 1G line speeds to cope with large network traffic, especially burst traffic during competitions. 10G Ethernet is used to interconnect the core nodes and the aggregation nodes of the venue cluster, and 1G Ethernet is used to interconnect the venue cluster aggregation switches and the venue aggregation switches, and the venue aggregation switches and the venue access switches. End users access the private network through 100M.

Gathering small things into a tower, creating a brilliant "Digital Asian Games"

The outstanding performance of Ruijie people in the Asian Games, which showed their professionalism and calm confidence, was not achieved overnight. In order to ensure the smooth holding of the Asian Games, Ruijie people made great efforts.

Since 2007, Ruijie Networks has been fully involved in the complex early consulting and design work of the Asian Games computer network platform, including venue group distribution design, venue affiliation design, routing/line length statistics, AGIS/ADMIN various business system deployment modes and traffic prediction and their requirements for private networks, network overall technical framework design, whole network routing planning, private network security integration, multi-traffic isolation, business QoS design, integrated network management design, services and training, equipment technical requirements analysis and other large-scale process designs.

At the same time, in view of the characteristics of the ADMIN private network project, which has a tight implementation time, wide distribution of venues, and many construction units, Ruijie Networks not only reasonably arranged the implementation progress of the private network according to the actual situation, but also provided a certain degree of flexibility to cope with changes in the construction period. Considering the importance of the ADMIN private network, Ruijie Networks invested a lot of manpower and material resources and established more than a dozen support groups with clear division of labor, including the leadership group, project manager, implementation group, on-site group during the competition, and company technical expert group. Since there are many construction units in the ADMIN private network project, Ruijie Networks also comprehensively analyzed the interface projects with communications, power distribution, host, wiring, application manufacturers, and security bidders during the construction, and provided a feasible cross-construction plan.

The Asian Games ADMIN private network is different from general system integration projects. Network installation and debugging is only a small part of the entire project. What is more important is to ensure the daily stable operation of the system after the private network is built, and to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the system during the Asian Games and Asian Para Games. To this end, Ruijie Networks has developed a set of operation and maintenance systems based on the actual needs of the Asian Games ADMIN private network, and has developed an emergency plan for the network operation during the Asian Games to ensure the reliable operation of the entire network in daily operation and during the games.

At the same time, Ruijie Networks also provided special services for the Asian Games, including daily technical consulting services, local spare parts services, project implementation, on-site engineer services during the games, and training services, to ensure the operation and maintenance of the ADMIN private network.

In addition to providing network security for the Guangzhou Asian Games, Ruijie Networks also fully served the Beijing Olympics in 2008, providing comprehensive support for Olympic network construction projects such as the Beijing Olympic Village, Olympic Forest Park, and Tianjin Olympic Center. In addition, Ruijie Networks became the main network solution and service provider for the 26th World University Games, providing innovative network solutions for the MDC main data center, SDC backup data center of the GAMES (event results) network and ADMIN (event command) network of the Universiade, as well as all 58 competition and non-competition venues. After ten years of innovation and accumulation, Ruijie Network's service radius has continued to expand, and its products and solutions have been widely used in the fields of information construction at home and abroad, such as government, finance, education, medical care, enterprises, and operators.
