Enhance Computing with Optical, Building a Next-Generation Data Center Network for AI

Enhance Computing with Optical, Building a Next-Generation Data Center Network for AI

As AI enters various industries, DCs are shifting from centralized to multi-layer and distributed in the intelligent era. This presents new challenges.

In intelligent computing DCN scenarios, the demand for computing power increases rapidly, leading to continuous growth in cluster scale. This calls for future-proof, energy-efficient, and highly-reliable networks. Huawei has introduced all-optical cross-connect (OXC) to DCNs, launching cutting-edge DC Optical Switch to create a next-generation intelligent computing DCN that combines optical and electrical technologies for AI.

In DCI scenarios, as general-purpose AI models evolve at a tremendous pace, centralized computing centers have limited resources like power and space. Overcoming this requires distributing computing power across regions, yet cross-region AI training demands high network performance. Huawei has introduced an all-optical lossless DCI solution to enhance collaboration efficiency in intelligent computing.
