14.4T Board Huawei Network Switches Intelligent NetEngine 8000 Series Routers

Huawei NetEngine 8000 series routers provide an all-service, intelligent router platform designed for the cloud era.

Utilizing ultra-broadband pipes to construct simplified networks, and running the leading SR and SRv6 protocols to establish intelligent connections, the NetEngine 8000 series interworks with Huawei’s next generation Network Cloud Engine (NCE) to implement full-lifecycle automation and lead the trend towards proactive Operations and Maintenance (O&M).

Available in a range of form factors — including large chassis, compact card-equipped box, and fixed box — and applicable to core, aggregation, and access networks, NetEngine 8000 boasts high performance, high reliability, low power consumption, and full evolution capabilities. Its applications include functioning as a core node for an enterprise WAN, as an access node on a large enterprise network, as a DCI node, or as a campus or IDC network egress.

Award-winning and critically-acclaimed, the NetEngine 8000 Series offers a range of industry-leading, next generation routers that adhere to an "intent-driven" philosophy — effectively freeing customers from unnecessary constraints and unleashing network potential.

Through the evolution of autonomous driving networks, Huawei empowers enterprise customers across industries to implement digital transformation.

Ultra-Broadband 14.4T Board

 

The industry's largest capacity — 14.4 Tbit/s per slot, 1.5 times the industry average — offering the highest density of ports: 36 x 400 GE or 72 x 100 GE. With a compact design, superior heat dissipation, ultra-low power consumption, and full-service features, NetEngine 8000 enables customers to build simplified and converged ultra-broadband networks, lowering Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

 

SRv6-based Intelligent Connection

 

NetEngine 8000 offers leading IPv6-based SRv6 capabilities to effectively deal with large numbers of connections. Cross-domain automatic connections implement one-hop access to the cloud, while minute-level service provisioning, and both tenant and application-level Service Level Agreements (SLAs) guarantee improved user experiences, ensuring smooth evolution from MPLS to SRv6.

 

Full-Lifecycle Automation

 

Full-lifecycle automation is implemented through NCE, a next generation, high availability O&M system. NCE and SRv6 work together to implement 50 ms protection switching, minute-level traffic optimization, second-level fault identification, and minute-level fault locating, significantly improving network availability and enabling enterprise customers to implement proactive and intelligent network O&M.
