Three Key Elements Drive AI, Network Becomes the Bottleneck of Computing Power Improvement

Data, algorithm, and computing power are the three key elements of AI development. The new data volume (180 ZB) in 2025 will extend far beyond human processing capability — 95 percent of data will depend on AI processing. To improve AI computing power, the performance of storage and computing has been accelerated. Still, traditional Ethernet cannot effectively end packet loss (0.1 percent packet loss reduces the data center’s computing power by 50 percent). Packet loss becomes the bottleneck of computing power improvement.

    Unique Intelligent Algorithm Set, 30% Higher Efficiency than Industry Average
    
    
    Huawei CloudEngine data center switches use the iLossless intelligent algorithm. The switches implement global optimization based on dynamic Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), Virtual Input Queue (VIQ), and fast Congestion Notification Packet (CNP). They achieve the highest network performance and optimal application experience. In a competition test conducted by the Tolly Group, the AI Fabric intelligent and lossless data center network solution constructed by CloudEngine switches leads in High-Performance Computing (HPC), distributed AI training, and distributed storage scenarios.

    Convergence of Computing, Storage, and Data Networks Reduces TCO by 53 Percent
    
    
    Three networks need to be deployed in a traditional data center: HPC network based on InfiniBand (IB), storage network (SAN) based on Fibre Channel (FC), and LAN (switching network) based on Ethernet architecture. The first two dedicated networks need professional O&M staff, which is costly. Huawei CloudEngine switches use the embedded AI chip and algorithm to build a converged Ethernet network with zero packet loss that reaches 100 percent computing power. They implement convergence of three networks and reduce the TCO by 53 percent.

    An Internet giant has deployed autonomous driving. Autonomous driving training involves a large number of AI calculations. One day’s data collection requires hundreds of GPU servers to complete training within seven days. This severely affects autonomous driving’s Time-To-Market (TTM). Huawei CloudEngine switches provide the intelligent and lossless Ethernet with zero packet loss, low latency, and high throughput. It reduces overall training time by 40 percent and accelerates autonomous driving’s commercial use.

    Bank A is one of China’s largest commercial banks and a Fortune Global 500 company. Bank A’s branch cloud is an innovative pilot in cloud strategy. The pilot uses RDMA technology to provide users with the same experience as local disk access. This technology improves network throughput and reduces CPU consumption. CloudEngine’s intelligent congestion scheduling implements zero packet loss, low latency, and high throughput on the network to accelerate RDMA communication. The storage cluster’s IOPS performance improves by 20 percent during testing, and a single volume’s performance reaches 350,000.
