Dubai – At GITEX 2017, Huawei launched the 400G DCI solution and industry’s largest Petabit Router NE9000, which enables the rapid migration of massive amounts of data between data centers and eliminates bandwidth-related bottlenecks, greatly improving bandwidth utilization between data centers while reducing power consumption in equipment rooms. This will greatly facilitate Middle East enterprises as they strive to smoothly evolve their data center networks over the next 10 years.
Enterprises are moving services to the cloud at an increasing pace as digitalization accelerates in the region, and tens of thousands of servers are required to expand a current generation large-scale cloud data center. With east-west traffic between data centers growing exponentially and total server data exceeding 1000 PB per data center, interconnection networks are now needed that can offer low latency and no congestion.
Huawei's 400G DCI solution features high-speed 400G interconnection technology in NE9000, along with intelligent global control based on the company's Agile Controller. The solution enables the efficient operation of enterprise cloud services and supports the evolution of network bandwidth; it also brings services online quickly while monitoring and adjusting network traffic in real time. Customers that select Huawei's solution can enjoy globally adjustable and controllable networks, a 50% improvement in bandwidth utilization, and a reduction in operating costs.
The NE9000 is focused on high device density and energy efficiency, the defining characteristics of data centers. Its ultra-integrated Industry 1st 4T router line cards offer energy savings of 50%, and the crucial issues of heat management for high-capacity boards and power consumption for devices are addressed through patented, state-of-the-art heat dissipation technologies including carbon nanotube thermal pads.

Explaining the benefits that the solution will bring, Alaa ElShimy, Managing Director and Vice President of Huawei Middle East, said, "Considering the overall movement to the cloud that we now see in enterprise services, building ultra-broadband, intelligent, and energy-efficient DCI networks will be a necessity for bringing about cloud-and-network synergy in the future. Huawei's NE9000 for 400G DCI solution makes enterprises and service providers ready to achieve commercial success in this future by helping them push forward the innovation of their services and move to the cloud more quickly. All of this is a step forward in the path to digital transformation in the Middle East, and helping governments achieve the targets outlined in their national visions."
