Huawei intelligent IP networks, accelerating intelligent connectivity
SHENZHEN, China – During Huawei Global Analyst Summit 2020,
Huawei’s “Leading Intelligent IP Networks, Accelerating the Transformation
Towards Intelligent Connectivity” summit was successfully held. This summit
shed light on three typical characteristics of intelligent IP networks: super
capacity, intelligent experience, and autonomous driving. Besides this, Huawei
shared its numerous success stories of intelligent IP networks across
industries, signifying the data communications industry’s arrival in the
intelligent IP network era.
As 5G, cloud, and AI pick up pace among enterprises of all
sizes, enterprises, amid their pursuit for digital transformation, are
confronting once-in-a-generation challenges, such as collaboration between
hundreds of billions of production and office terminals, 100% migration of enterprise
services to the cloud, and 97% AI adoption rate. As a decisive part of
enterprises’ digital transformation, IP networks are also encountering a wide
range of issues typified by insufficient bandwidth, poor service experience,
and low efficiency of network O&M and troubleshooting. Intelligent IP
networks are the key to conquering such issues. To better understand what kind
of network can be called an intelligent IP network, Huawei took the lead by
defining three typical characteristics of such a network:
1)
Super capacity: IP networks achieve a
future-proof shift from 100GE to 400GE and from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6, and
transform towards intelligent IP networks, boosting bandwidth resources. In
addition, such future-oriented networks adopt slice-based bandwidth isolation,
implementing flexible bandwidth adjustment.
2)
Intelligent experience: Intelligent IP networks
stand out with intelligent identification of service types, service intent
inference, and flexible, real-time network resource adjustment upon cloud changes.
These highlights deliver always-on network connectivity experience.
3)
Autonomous driving: Intelligent IP networks can
be automatically deployed, achieving rapid adjustment of services. In addition,
they can perform automatic, AI-powered fault rectification, implementing
proactive O&M and ensuring high network availability.
Kevin Hu, President of Huawei’s Data Communication Product
Line, said: “2020 is the first year for commercial use of intelligent IP networks.
The entire industry has witnessed an historic shift of IP networks from
Internet IP in the World Wide Web era to video-driven All IP, and is now on the
way to intelligent IP oriented at the 5G and cloud era. Looking ahead, Huawei
will keep innovating and continuously, proactively increasing investment in
super capacity, intelligent experience, and autonomous driving to build
end-to-end (E2E) intelligent IP networks for customers.”
Huawei’s innovative intelligent IP network solution achieves
a future-proof integration of the three characteristics, and has embraced wide
applications in various scenarios, such as campus network, data center network,
and wide area network (WAN) scenarios. Specifically, this feature-rich solution
is perfectly suited to building high-quality campus networks. It adopts
Huawei’s industry-leading AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 that stands out for exclusive
16T16R smart antennas, delivering up to 1.6 Gbps single-user performance (20%
higher than the industry average). Another highlight of Huawei’s AirEngine
Wi-Fi 6 lies in AI-powered intelligent radio calibration that improves the
average downlink rate of stations (STAs) by more than 50%. The solution also
employs an AI-powered intelligent O&M system that slashes the mean time to
repair (MTTR) from four hours to as short as just 10 minutes. These
differentiators significantly optimize user experience, helping build
future-proof, fully-wireless, and intelligent campus networks in an extensive
range of scenarios, such as Huawei’s super-large campus serving 194,000
employees, and the digital warehouse of SONGMICS — the largest home necessity
seller on Amazon in Germany.
The solution also performs well in the data center network
domain. It adopts Huawei’s innovative iLossless algorithm that ensures zero
packet loss on the Ethernet, thereby improving data computing efficiency by 27%
and data storage efficiency by 30% compared with the industry average. The
solution also achieves AI-powered intelligent O&M, which can remediate a
typical fault in just 9 minutes — fault detection in 1 minute, fault locating
in 3 minutes, and fault rectification in 5 minutes. Such superb performance has
attracted more than 40 Internet service providers (ISPs) and financial service
customers, such as China Merchants Bank, China CITIC Bank, and People’s
Insurance Co. (Group) of China Ltd. (PICC).
Besides the campus network and data center network domains,
this solution is also highly suited to the WAN domain for its industry-leading
FlexE-based slicing that provides 100% bandwidth assurance, achieving 5 times
higher slicing granularity than the industry average. In addition, this
feature-rich solution uses IPv6+ to select the optimal path based on the service
intent, ensuring committed latency for key services. As such, this solution
achieves superb transmission of key services and has been widely applied in
multiple scenarios, such as China Mobile (smart grid services), Agricultural
Bank of China, and China Unicom Beijing branch (services for the Beijing Daxing
International Airport).
Capitalizing on more than 20 years of expertise in the IP
network domain, Huawei keeps on building highly competitive intelligent IP
network products and solutions, as well as providing smooth, continuous
services for carriers and customers in the financial services, government,
transportation, and energy sectors in more than 100 countries and regions.
Looking forward, Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line will collaborate with
more customers in innovative design and in-depth service cooperation to help
more customers achieve digital transformation so as to better embrace the “5G +
cloud + AI” era and build intelligent IP networks with continuous leadership.
