Jacko Lee, Vice President of Data Center Network Domain, Huawei Data Communication Product Line, delivered a speech. He expressed, "From the widespread adoption of foundational models to the swift advancement of multimodal intelligence, AI is fundamentally transforming the digital industry's underlying architecture. As we advance into a new era of AI, the industry's emphasis has transitioned from basic foundation model training to the implementation of agentic AI applications. It is now critical that enterprises can efficiently unleash and maximize computing power. Based on a three-layer network architecture—AI Brain, AI Connectivity, and AI Network Elements—Huawei's Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0 solution deeply integrates four key capabilities: Rock-Solid Architecture 2.0, StarryWing Digital Map 2.0, Xinghuan AI Turbo 2.0, and iFlashboot 2.0. This integration creates an ultra-efficient, ultra-resilient next-generation computing network foundation for enterprises."

Huawei launched over 10 new CloudEngine series data center switches for Northern Africa, including the industry's highest-density 100T (128 x 800GE) fixed switch CloudEngine XH9330-128EO and the industry's first commercial 51.2T (128 x 400GE) liquid-cooled switch CloudEngine XH9230-128DQ-LC. These switches support 400G/800G full-series StarryLink optical modules, enabling the construction of stable, efficient, green, and low-carbon data center networks for enterprises in Northern Africa.

At the event, Huawei demonstrated the core capabilities of StarryWing Digital Map 2.0 through an interactive demo. The demo highlighted features such as co-management and co-maintenance with ACI, automated network-security integration, and NetMaster, vividly showcasing Huawei's leading technologies in intelligent O&M and automated management and control.

In the future, Huawei will continue to embrace open collaboration and continuous technological innovation to rapidly advance data center network technologies. The company aims to strengthen partnerships with local partners in Northern Africa, drive generational network upgrades, consistently support regional enterprises in their digital and intelligent transformations, and contribute to the robust growth of the digital economy in Northern Africa.
