makers make more informed purchase decisions.
This
award is intended to research and evaluate flagship data center switches from
mainstream suppliers in the industry. After 10 rounds of selection, Huawei
CloudEngine 16800 ranked first in both technology leverage (9.6 points) and
customer impact (9.2 points), surpassing competitors' products and showing its
industry-leading strength.
"5G and AI have
attracted wide attention from both the industry and society, and network
infrastructure, as an important part of the new infrastructure, is also gaining
attention. Huawei CloudEngine 16800 has made breakthroughs in high-density
400GE switching, intelligent lossless network performance, and intelligent
O&M. It is Huawei's flagship product in the AI era." said Leon Wang,
President of Huawei's Data Center Network Domain, "I am delighted that
Huawei has received this professional award in the industry. We are also
confident that we will remain customer-centric, continuously invest in
innovation, and maintain our global leadership."
In
January 2019, Huawei launched the industry's first data center switch oriented
to the AI era — CloudEngine 16800. The CloudEngine 16800 supports the
industry's highest-density 400GE interfaces and provides a switching capability
five times the industry average, meeting smooth evolution requirements for the
next 10 years. The CloudEngine 16800 is used to build the intelligent and lossless
Ethernet with zero packet loss, improving the computing efficiency and storage
IOPS. In addition, Huawei CloudEngine 16800 uses AI technologies and works with
iMaster NCE FabricInsight to detect faults within 1 minute, locate faults
within 3 minutes, and rectify faults within 5 minutes, accelerating evolution
to the autonomous driving network. Furthermore, Huawei CloudEngine 16800 series
switches overcome multiple hardware engineering technical difficulties, such as
ultra-high-speed signal transmission, super heat dissipation, and efficient
power supply, reducing the per-bit power consumption by 26% and saving energy.
