Huawei Stands Out as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Switching
Huawei Recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Switching
In an impressive achievement, Huawei has been celebrated as a leader in the recently released Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data Center Switching in 2025. This recognition signifies Huawei's exceptional capabilities in the realm of data center networking, particularly its outstanding performance in the area of vision completeness. As we progress through 2025, Huawei is committed to enhancing its data center networks by focusing on three pivotal aspects:
Enhanced Xinghe Intelligent Fabric Solution
The landscape of data center networks is undergoing substantial transformation driven by advancements in AI technologies and the evolution of cloud architectures. In response to these changes, Huawei has developed the improved Xinghe Intelligent Fabric solution, structured on a three-layer architecture comprising AI Brain, AI Connection, and AI NE's.
AI Brain
At the heart of the solution lies Huawei's proprietary digital map network coupled with its large-scale model NetMaster. This integration facilitates automation in processes, enhances simulation of integrated network security, and resolves malfunctions in 80% of cases. This leads to significant improvements in operations and maintenance efficiency.
AI Connection
The innovative NSLB (Network Scale Load Balancing) algorithm optimizes path planning, effectively eliminates performance bottlenecks, and increases AI training efficiency by over 10%. Moreover, Huawei's three-tier reliability technology and loss resilience of optical modules ensure uninterrupted service.
AI NE's
By using CloudEngine series switches along with StarryLink optical modules, Huawei has introduced high precision traffic awareness and visual monitoring of packet loss and delays within the network.
Introducing New CloudEngine Series Switches
Huawei has also unveiled the CloudEngine XH9330, a groundbreaking *128800GE fixed Ethernet switch boasting the highest density in the industry, alongside the CloudEngine XH9230, the world's first 128400GE liquid-cooled fixed switch. These switches outperform scalability limits for AI clusters and leverage Huawei's proprietary iFlashboot technology to sustain continuous training even during unusual restarts and upgrades.
StarryLink Optical Modules
During the MWC 2025, Huawei showcased its StarryLink optical modules tailored for data center networks, emphasizing three key capabilities in optical path coupling:
1. Span Optimization - Utilizing a unique algorithm to regulate signal power distribution and ensure maximum transmission capabilities, achieving distances twice the industry average.
2. Stability - Huawei's short-range optical return loss positioning technology enables the identification of faulty optical links within minutes, greatly reducing the time from the industry standard of three hours.
3. Security - The exclusive PHYSEC physical layer encryption assures complete encryption of all packets, thus mitigating any risks of data breaches.
Leading Businesses into the Era of Digital Intelligence
Looking ahead, Huawei remains dedicated to pursuing technical research and product innovation in the data center network sector. With the continuous growth of its CloudEngine data center switch portfolio and an unwavering focus on technological advancements, Huawei is well-prepared to guide enterprises through the changing landscape of networking technology, thus transforming data intelligence into actionable insights for businesses.
