Huawei Launches L3.5 Autonomous Driving Network Solution for Data Centers | CXOTV News

Huawei has launched a novel L3.5 autonomous driving network (ADN) solution for data centers (DCs) and introduced its architecture, major features, key technologies, and use cases. As digitalization gains momentum, new applications are proliferating, and network devices are growing in quantity and category. Huawei has consistently explored new ways to cope with the ever-increasing network complexity through technological innovations, finally proposing a vision for AND — enabling networks to be highly autonomous, just like autonomous vehicles.

Network engineers are buried in massive work orders and have no time for network optimization. This is where Huawei’s L3.5 ADN solution for DCs comes in. It takes the lead in achieving unified, undifferentiated management & control, and collaborative, flexible orchestration of multi-cloud, multi-vendor heterogeneous networks. The solution can also seamlessly interwork with enterprises’ IT management systems, implementing NaaS and accelerating agile innovation of enterprise services.

“It is a long-term process for ADNs to evolve from L0 to L5. Huawei’s ADN solution for DCs has already gone through a future-oriented evolution from L3 to L3.5, showing that network autonomy can be achieved not only on single-vendor DCNs, but also on multi-cloud, multi-vendor networks,” said Leon Wang, President, Huawei’s Data Center Network Domain. “This also demonstrates Huawei’s constant dedication to resolving problems based on customers’ service scenarios and pain points. Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to join hands with our customers and industry partners to promote mature applications of network AI technologies at scale, and accelerate DCNs’ pace toward an autonomous driving era characterized by agile business, superb customer experience, and efficient O&M.”
