--Flagship Product Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 Outperforms Mainstream Vendors

In the latest report of Data Center Interconnect: Competitive Landscape

Assessment, GlobalData, a data analytics and consulting company for the

information and communications technology (ICT) industry, ranked Huawei

OptiXtrans DC908 as a leader in architecture, performance, modularity, line

interfaces, and network management. Though a first-time candidate, Huawei

OptiXtrans DC908 has managed to outperform mainstream vendors.

According to Emir Halilovic, Principal Analyst of GlobalData, "Huawei has

re-entered the data center interconnect market with a compelling product,

further heating up the competition. The Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 features

leading platform capacity and density, as well as support for electrical and

optical modules in the same box, making it applicable for a wide range of use cases."

In architecture, performance, and modularity:

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 provides a device throughput capacity of up to 9.6 Tbit/s.

The power consumption per Gbit is less than 0.13 W, and the optical layer and

electrical layer are integrated in the same box.

All modules are hot-swappable and can be replaced within 15s.

All boards, including service and system control boards, power supplies, and

fans support 1+1 redundancy, meeting the system-level flexibility and

availability requirements of data centers.

The product supports various service interfaces, such as ETH, FC, SDH, and OTN,

to meet various application requirements of OTT (Over-The-Top), financial,

government, and enterprise customers.

In line interfaces:

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 supports 800 Gbit/s per wavelength. With the exclusive

Super C-Band technology, it supports a system capacity of 120 wavelengths in

the C band with standard 50 GHz channel spacing. In this way, the per-fiber

capacity reaches 48 Tbit/s, meeting the needs in the next 5 years.

In network management:

Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 is the industry's first AI-ready data center interconnect

product to implement intelligent O&M, predict fiber faults, and perform accurate

and efficient troubleshooting, thereby ensuring service availability.

The simplified optical-layer design and WebGUI (Web Graphic User Interface)

enable fast deployment and service commissioning within 8 minutes, requiring no

professional skills.

As of the end of December 2019, Huawei OptiXtrans product series have been deployed

by over 3,800 customers in 158 countries and regions, enabling digital transformation

across OTT, government, energy, transportation, financial, education sectors.

Kim Jin, President of Huawei Enterprise Transmission and Access Network Domain,

said, "Huawei will continue to boost the innovation of Huawei OptiXtrans product

series and partner with global enterprises to guide the data center interconnect

networks into an ultra-broadband, simplified, and intelligent era."
