Recently, International Data Corporation (IDC) released the "China Ethernet Switch Market Quarterly Tracking Report (2021Q2)", the data showed that Xinhua III Group, a subsidiary of Unigunp, obtained the first half of 2021 China's 200G/400G switch market share with 64.5%, fully highlighting the leading position.
At present, the arrival of 5G and AI era has promoted the explosive growth of the amount of data carried by network infrastructure, and the rapid expansion of data centers has stimulated the demand for higher network speed, greater scalability and higher performance level. "Bandwidth" and "scale" are still the two most severe challenges. Over the past few decades, Ethernet speeds have accelerated from 1G, 10/25G to 40/100G. In the data center, high-performance computing clusters driven by AI applications and large-scale deployment of 100G servers will also drive the core tier mainstream port speeds to the next generation standard. For enterprises, the future of 400G Ethernet is not far away. Lower power consumption, lower cost, better compatibility, and faster delivery time will become the four basic demands in the future.
• Precise insight and forward-looking layout make Xinhua 3 continue to lead
When the Ethernet speed is approaching the 400G threshold, the large-scale application of high-end network devices such as next-generation data center switches and core routers will effectively eliminate the bandwidth bottleneck, further improve the network transmission speed and ensure the efficiency and stability of the network. As a leading network equipment manufacturer in the industry, Xinhua III Group has always maintained the first-mover advantage in the research and development of 400G switch products. Based on the continuous evolution of technology trends and user needs, it has now a complete 400G product sequence, with more than 10,000 network ports by 2020, which can meet the needs of different networking scales. It is a difficult task to predict the future in the dynamic technological development. Now Xinhua 3 stands at the forefront of the 400G era. Looking back on the past product development and evolution route, it is not difficult to find that it is based on the precise insight into the future industry development direction and forward-looking technical layout, which makes Xinhua 3 switch products in terms of product form expansion and specific function realization. Have come to the forefront of the industry:
• In 2016, the 400G interface standard was not finalized. With years of market work and keen insight in the data center field, Xinhua III accurately predicted that QSFP-DD would become the interface standard of the next generation 400G Ethernet, and based on this, fully launched the development of 400G core switch;
• In 2018, Xinhua SAN, together with Intel, took the lead in releasing 400G data center solutions and launched the first 400G core switch product, leading the trend of high-speed network in the industry;
• In 2019, Xinhua 3 and Shenzhen Cyberspace Science and Technology Laboratory (Pengcheng Laboratory) jointly created the first commercial 400G Ethernet project in China, marking that China's Ethernet construction officially entered the 400G era;
• In 2020, Xinhua 3 and Spolen Communications completed a large-scale 400G test of the S12500R data center switch based on SRv6 performance, and the test results fully demonstrated the industry-leading 400GE performance of the S12500R data center switch. In the same year, Xinhua three 400G products in the domestic deployment of tens of thousands of ports;
• In 2021, according to the data of "China Ethernet Switch Market Quarterly Tracking Report (2021Q2)" released by International Data Corporation (IDC), Xinhua 3 won the first place in 2021H1 China 200G/400G switch market share.
• Fully help Baidu DCI network to enter the 400G era
In terms of data center construction, Xinhua 3 has not stopped its steps, through the introduction of advanced data center construction and operation methodology, green and energy-saving technology innovation concept, to help enterprises to achieve digital transformation of data centers. Take the Internet industry as an example. As we all know, the process of digitization is always accompanied by the development of the Internet, and IT infrastructure is more needed to provide strong impetus. With strong strength in the field of Internet data center network, Xinhua 3 uses the industry-leading S12500R 400G converged switching router to help Baidu build 400G data center interconnection (DCI Network), undertook the construction of the super core, data center core and IDC room of Baidu's overall network. The high performance, routing table specifications and routing convergence speed of S12500R products also fully met the technical requirements of Baidu's backbone network, and survived the test of super-large-scale networking, helping Baidu open a new era of super high-density 400G network deployment in China.
Xinhua III focuses on meeting customer needs and IT technology innovation. Through continuous exploration and practice, Xinhua III has shown strong competitiveness in technical response, after-sales service, research and development, testing, business, quality, logistics and other aspects, providing professional IT infrastructure and strong technical support for the technological change of Baidu and other large Internet companies. At present, Xinhua Three data center solutions and high-end switching routing equipment have enabled finance, government, Internet, operators, power, energy, enterprises, education, medical, public security, military, transportation and other industries to achieve digital transformation.
