Huawei OptiXtrans DC908: Building Data Center Interconnect (DCI) networks with ultra large bandwidth, simplified architecture

The rapid development of big data, cloud computing, and mobile Internet has given rise to massive traffic generated between data centers. Many enterprises choose to build their own data center interconnect (DCI) networks to ensure stable connectivity, premium cost control, and intelligent O&M.

Recognized as "Leader" of Data Center Interconnect in 2019 by GlobalData, Huawei OptiXtrans DC908 features an ultra large capacity of 800 Gbit/s per wavelength supporting flexible configuration between 100G and 800G, and future-proof Super C+L technology to achieve 220 wavelengths. Meanwhile, Huawei’s AI technology enables intelligent network O&M, which can automatically predict more than 60% of gradual failures and reduce false alarms through automated analysis of the failure origins. This flagship product helps enterprise customers easily cope with the challenges of massive data flows in the cloud era, continuously reduce the cost per bit, maximize the value of optical fibers, and improve customer’s return on investment.

Until now, Huawei DC OptiX solution had helped over 120 key industry customers across more than 60 countries efficiently deploy DCI networks.
