HNS 2026 | Huawei Upgrades Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0 to Build Ultra-Resilient Data Center Networks in Asia Pacific

[Bali, Indonesia, August 13, 2026] At the Huawei Network Summit 2026 (HNS 2026) Asia Pacific, Huawei hosted a roundtable themed "Founded on Resilience, Forged by Intelligence—Building Ultra-Resilient Data Center Networks in Asia Pacific". During the event, Huawei announced upgrades to its Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0 solution for the Asia-Pacific market. These enhancements target intelligence, performance, and reliability, providing enterprises with the tools to construct resilient, compute-efficient data center networks.

Pioneering Digital Transformation in Asia Pacific

Colin Cui delivered the opening remarks. He highlighted the Asia-Pacific region's leadership in the AI revolution. To meet AI's massive computing and connectivity demands, Huawei launched Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0. This solution features a dual approach: NET4AI to accelerate AI training and inference, and AI4NET to automate network management. Already deployed by regional leaders like DANA (Indonesia) and CJ Group (South Korea), Huawei aims to work with industry partners to drive digital transformation and unlock new AI opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region.

Adapting to the AI Era

Johnny Cheng delivered a keynote detailing the industry's shift. "AI technology has entered the application phase, and multimodal models now dominate the industry. This shift is restructuring the underlying architecture of the digital economy. Traditional networks cannot support the high concurrency, throughput, and reliability required in the AI era."

The industry focus has transitioned from training foundation models to running inference applications. Enterprises now prioritize deploying AI agents and maximizing compute value. To meet these demands, Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0 utilizes a three-layer architecture:

• AI Brain
• AI Connectivity
• AI Network Elements

The solution integrates core capabilities such as Rock-Solid Architecture 2.0, StarryWing Digital Map 2.0, Hyper-Converged Fabric (HCF), and Network Packet Load Balancing (NPLB). This combination establishes a compute-efficient and resilient network foundation for modern enterprises.

Real-World Impact: CJ OliveNetworks

Kyeongseon Cha, Head of the Infra Modernization & Cloud Business Team at CJ OliveNetworks in South Korea, shared practical insights from their partnership with Huawei.

"Our O'Cloud platform runs on Huawei CloudEngine data center switches integrated with the iMaster NCE platform. This integration establishes an ultra-resilient, multi-data center network architecture. By utilizing runbook-based drag-and-drop orchestration, CJ OliveNetworks has accelerated service deployment. This capability enables end-to-end automation from the network to the service layer. Additionally, Huawei's StarryWing Digital Map provides real-time visibility into the multi-site network topology and overall health. This transparency helps teams locate faults faster and streamlines daily operations."

Industry Consensus and Future Outlook

During the event, regional customers and partners discussed network challenges related to building and expanding data centers. Attendees endorsed Huawei's approach to network resilience. They agreed that modern data center networks must look beyond single-site reliability. The industry focus must expand to include global reliability across multiple data centers, intelligent O&M, and agile service deployment.

Looking ahead, Huawei remains committed to open collaboration and technical innovation, and plans to deepen ties with Asia-Pacific partners to advance data center network technology. These efforts will support the digital-intelligent transformation of regional enterprises and promote a sustainable digital economy across Asia Pacific.
