The future choice of 100g--cloud computing Network

New IT technology applications are always faster than we can imagine, even Bill Gates once thought that 64K of RAM is enough for PCs. Over the years, people have been more of a witness, not a prediction, in the IT world.

For the network, the evolution of Ethernet from 10M to 10GE is just 10 time. I have to say, 10,000 times times the pace of development is simply a miracle. But there is always a causal rule behind any miracle. The reason for the rapid development of Ethernet technology, in no way lies in the technology itself, not in the bus technology, interface technology, signal processing technology, chip technology ..., but it is from the technology to the application End-to-end of the fit and mutual promotion. In this more than 10-year process, the application requirements of the evolution and technology of the evolution of the combination is so good: 10m/100m for the development of local area network, 1000M for the development of metropolitan Broadband Network, 10GE for the backbone and data center development, is an extension of the expansion of Ethernet track, It is also a faster and richer trajectory for applications that are hosted on the Web. Now, what is the opposite of a 100G coin?

From a technical and operational point of view, cloud computing services have nearly unlimited computing, storage, data communication capabilities, then the IT infrastructure to provide cloud computing services must be a massive infrastructure of the data center "super carrier." In this "Super carrier", cloud computing IT resources large-scale centralized operation, greatly optimized the distribution of basic resources and scheduling. Therefore, in the large-scale cloud computing environment, performance has undoubtedly become the most concerned about the core elements.

Cloud patterns change from computing, storage, to networking, security, and all aspects. As far as the network is concerned, it may be the biggest shock and shock that Ethernet technology has developed over the years, and it may also lead to a complete wave of Ethernet technology to a new era. In the cloud servers, the flow of unprecedented expansion, so that the application of 100G is necessary, and the impact of virtualization and other technologies on the flow model, so that in the bandwidth upgrade, flow organization, equipment settings, etc. are subject to unprecedented impact; computing interface, storage interface gradually unified network also put forward a lot of new requirements. In the cloud network, a large increase in horizontal flow and a large number of vertical flow reduction, but also the traditional sense of Ethernet overturned a clean, TRILL, sophomore layer of technology, so that the future of metropolitan Ethernet completely changed. Objectively speaking, this demand challenge is huge and will inspire the new network.

At present, cloud computing data center becomes the nuclear Reaction center of Information Computing Service, and network distribution with 100G interface will soon become the inevitable choice of large-scale cloud computing. Today we look at 100G, must not simply compute multiplication, 100G, not only 10G 10 times times, 100G of universal application, is actually the symbol of the revolution of Ethernet technology.

In the period of overall change of the network, for Huawei, the significance is far-reaching! Huawei is heading for the top in the field of network technology, and Cloud fabric solution is the occasion of the "cloud" era. It provides up to 360T of non-blocking switched networks, tens of thousands of 10ge/ge server access capabilities to meet the 4 generation server evolution requirements from Ge/10ge to 40ge/100ge.

Cloudengine 12800, the flagship of Huawei's data center switch, is designed for high-density 100GE interface capabilities, redefining the competitive attributes of core switches to meet the needs of cloud computing network construction.

Or that sentence, in a large-scale cloud computing environment, performance has undoubtedly become the most concerned about the core elements. Network distribution based on 100G interface will soon become the inevitable choice for large-scale cloud computing.
