FiberHome Converges Data Center Network Consolidate Computing Power Hub

Time:2021-10-07  

With the publication of the "National Integrated Big Data Center Collaborative Innovation System Computing Hub Implementation Plan" by the national ministries and commissions, "Eastern Digital and Western Computing" has been promoted to the hot spot in the industry. The new data center is oriented to support economic and social digital transformation, intelligent upgrading, and integration innovation, and is driven by application requirements such as 5G, industrial Internet, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. It gathers diversified data resources, uses green and low-carbon technology, and is safe and reliable. It is a new type of infrastructure with high technology, high computing power, high energy efficiency, and high security features. With the rapid development of a new generation of information technology, data resource storage, computing and application requirements have increased significantly. Traditional data centers are accelerating their integration with networks and cloud computing, and they are accelerating their evolution to new data centers. In the future, a new computing power network pattern oriented by a data stream with reasonable layout, advanced technology, green and low-carbon, and a computing power scale compatible with the growth of the digital economy will be formed. Based on this background, the next-generation data center network needs to adapt to the changes brought about by the four major aspects of scale, performance, green, and intelligence to empower the development of the digital economy.

At the 2021 China International Information and Communication Exhibition (PT Expo 2021) that has just come to an end, FiberHome unveiled its FitFabric converged data center network solution. FiberHome FitFabric converged data center network is formed by FiberHome F-engine data center switches. Relying on the unique AI intelligent lossless algorithm, it can help customers build a unified and integrated network of high-performance computing storage and general computing and upgrade the three networks through IP technology to an all-Ethernet network. Provide customers with low-power, easy-to-maintain, low-latency and high-throughput computing and storage networks to meet the extreme network performance required by the service, and provide comprehensive support for computing power from the following four aspects:

Increase in Computing Power
The main goal of the three-year action plan for the development of new data centers clearly states that by the end of 2021, the average utilization rate of data centers across the country will strive to increase to more than 55%, and the total computing power will exceed 120 EFLOPS. By the end of 2023, the average annual growth rate of the national data center rack scale will be maintained at about 20%, the average utilization rate will strive to increase to more than 60%, the total computing power will exceed 200 EFLOPS, and the high-performance computing power will account for 10%. The computing power of national hub nodes accounted for more than 70%. Therefore, the future will be a new type of data flow-oriented computing power hub, so there are very high requirements for the scale of computing nodes. FiberHome S16800 data center switch has a high-density 400GE interface, which supports the high-throughput and high-bandwidth requirements of supercomputer centers. The 400GE ultra-large-scale networking increases the number of computing nodes in a single POD, thereby increasing the overall computing power.

Releasing Computing Power


The FitFabric converged data center network uses RoCE technology to realize the direct transmission of data in the data buffer between two nodes in the "best effort" Ethernet transmission process, which reduces the delay from milliseconds to microseconds. At the same time, by enabling PFC and ECN technology combined with FiberHome’s Fit AI intelligent tuning algorithm to ensure that RoCE packets are not lost, and the network bandwidth is guaranteed, the optimal performance of the entire network is guaranteed, and 100% of the computing power is released.

Computing Capex Reduction
The future development and planning of new data centers are inseparable from green environmental protection and low-carbon energy saving. FiberHome’s F-engine data center switches adopt the most advanced technology in the switching chip and have the lowest power in the industry while maintaining ultra-high performance. Consumption. It also has a variety of energy-saving technologies such as zone counter-rotation, independent air ducts and angled inward bends. It can effectively improve product efficiency, reduce noise pollution and computing power costs, and reduce overall energy consumption by 20% compared with FiberHome’s previous generation data center products.

Computing Power Guarantee
FitFabric converged data center network uses the FiberHome data center intelligent management and control system FitControl, through the AI-based fault analysis engine, to realize intelligent operation and maintenance and the visibility of the business experience of the RoCE network, and realize the automatic detection, location, and repair of faults.
FiberHome data center products have been practiced in the industry for many years, and they have been widely deployed from the underlying infrastructure to the uppermost network equipment. With the official launch of the "Eastern Data and Western Calculation" project, a new wave of infrastructure will surely usher in the future. As the core supplier of operators, FiberHome will act as a promoter in the future. With its deep accumulation in the industry market, it is willing to work with customers and partners to create a new national computing power hub and accelerate the digital transformation of the industry.
