SHANGHAI, Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2020, Huawei held a summit themed "Accelerating Industry

Digital Transformation Through All-Scenario Intelligent Connectivity". At this

summit, Huawei announced that it has fully upgraded its intelligent IP network

solutions, reshaped two platforms (software and hardware), reinvented the

three-layer architecture of intelligent IP networks with "super capacity,

intelligent experience, and autonomous driving", and further innovated

"four-engines". These strategic moves reaffirm Huawei's relentless efforts to

develop scenario-tailored solutions with partners and customers, creating new

drivers for digitalization across industries.

Data communication networks have evolved from IPv4-based networks for

man-machine interaction in the IP era, to multiprotocol label switching

(MPLS)-based networks for people-people interaction in the all-IP era, and

finally to the networks in today's intelligent IP era.

In line with its "intelligent IP network" development strategy, Huawei has

announced the following strategic moves at the summit:

1. Reshaping two platforms (hardware and software) to get fully prepared for

intelligent IP networks

Huawei has fully upgraded its hardware platform that stands out with built-in

AI acceleration engines to enhance data processing, thereby fully supporting

intelligent IP networks. To support massive connectivity of everything,

large-capacity modular devices are equipped with 400GE ports capable of

addressing digital deluge, while compact fixed-form devices support extensive

access from 155 Mbit/s to 400 Gbit/s. Such hardware features pave the way for

building an ultra-broadband, intelligent, and green intelligent IP hardware

platform for customers.

With regards to software platforms, traditional IP device software is closed,

clumsy, and unresponsive to services. Huawei reshapes the IP network operating

system by using its new software platform YUNSHAN. The platform has an agile,

intelligent, and open architecture, and allows for flexible assembly using

modular functional components across devices, facilitating quick delivery

according to customer requirements. YUNSHAN is endowed with over 20 built-in AI

algorithms to support millisecond-level inference, injecting new capabilities

into intelligent IP networks. What's more, the platform's more than 400 open

application programming interfaces (APIs) easily connect to northbound NMSs,

thereby implementing flexible device management and control.

2. Upgrading the three-layer architecture of intelligent IP networks with super

capacity, intelligent experience, and autonomous driving

Huawei introduces AI to redefine the 3-layer intelligent IP network

architecture, and upgrades to 400GE ports to support ultra-broadband

non-blocking forwarding and network slicing. This results in a super capacity

that ensures network bandwidth quality.

Huawei also upgrades the Intent Engine by using AI to identify service network

intents, adjust network resources in real time, and continuously meet service

requirements. This achieves intelligent experience featuring deterministic

experience assurance.

The Intelligence Engine is upgraded using knowledge graphs to automatically

deploy and quickly adjust network-level services while automating network

troubleshooting. These autonomous driving capabilities improve O&M efficiency.

3. Further innovating the "four-engine" intelligent IP network products and solutions

Huawei has upgraded iMaster NCE, the brain of intelligent IP networks. It

provides open and programmable capabilities, facilitating easy customizations;

introduces big data analytics to implement intent-driven deployment and fault

prediction; and adds southbound APIs to achieve extensive compatibility with

multi-vendor offerings. In addition, built on its four engines (AirEngine,

CloudEngine, NetEngine, and HiSecEngine), Huawei has fully upgraded its

CloudCampus, CloudFabric, CloudWAN, and HiSec solutions from 1.0 to 2.0. These

new releases help build more ultra-broadband and intelligent IP networks.

4. Intelligent IP networks are verified time and again in various industries,

creating new value together

Intelligent IP is widely applied in industries. Specifically, "Intelligent IP @

Government" enables one-stop government services and all-in-one city

management, greatly improving the rate of requests handled online and

increasing the efficiency in processing documents. "Intelligent IP @ Finance"

drives the finance industry into the Bank 4.0 era by enabling day-level

provisioning of cloud-based services and reducing the foreign exchange

transaction time by 87%. "Intelligent IP @ Education" accelerates network

construction, achieves multi-network convergence, and facilitates intelligent

operations, accelerating the construction of a talent-rich nation. "Intelligent

IP @ Airport" achieves one ID for travel and one map for operations by

detecting threats at an accuracy rate of 96%, handling threats in seconds, and

proactively discovering 85% faults.

"Intelligent IP networks better enable data flowing and aggregation, creating

new drivers for intelligent connectivity of everything. Huawei will continue to

innovate and apply intelligent IP networks to all industries and develop

all-scenario solutions to help enterprises of all sizes achieve business

success," said Kevin Hu, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line.

"In the future, Huawei will work with more partners from all industries, such

as government, finance, education, healthcare, and transportation, to build a

new ecosystem for digital transformation and create new value together."
