Telecom equipment and software maker Huawei has released a 100GE-enabled network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVI) solution.
High bandwidth, low latency, and better network performance are the main benefits of Huawei’s latest NFVI solution.
The solution sets a new standard for high-performance NFVI by integrating 100GE Ethernet switch modules, as well as FPGA acceleration cards, NVMe SSDs, and Huawei’s FusionSphere virtualization platform.

NFVI needs to accommodate increasing and multitudinous east-west traffic within data centers. An ideal NFVI will offer high-speed Ethernet fabric capable of hundreds of gigabits per second, shorten the latency of communication between virtual network function (VNF) elements, and bolster virtualization performance.
Huawei NFVI 100GE solution leverages FusionServer E9000 which supports 100 Gbit/s per port, delivering an external bandwidth of up to 4 Tbit/s and port forwarding latency less than 600 ns for the entire chassis.
FusionServer E9000 meets the workload requirements of carrier data centers enabling NFV services including high reliability, network bandwidth and low latency. 100GE network can be managed by the SDN controller.
“The Huawei NFVI 100GE solution enables low-latency network interconnect at speeds of several hundred gigabits per second. The solution supports resource sharing across different geographic locations and cross-data center hitless service failover,” said Wang Feng, director of Huawei’s Data Center Global Marketing Dept.
In 2016, Huawei bagged over 130 cloud commercialization contracts. Huawei has cloud deals with carriers such as STC and America Movil.
Gartner says Huawei blade servers ranked No. 3 globally for 12 consecutive quarters at the end of Q3 2016.
