Where do you see cloud computing network going for the next decade? How will datacenter network evolve in the face of the business variety and uncertainty?

Gao Liang, Technical Director of Internet System Department of Ruijie Networks, gave his answers in his speech, "Amid rapid growth of today's Internet products and business, the uncertainty of the parent business means that the underlying network needs to keep rapid improvement in network performance, stability and scale. Only established and standardized iteration can resist such business uncertainty. Large-scale and high-level datacenters become the key strategic resources for Internet companies, which ends up increasingly urgent call for high-density 400G offerings. Faced with this reality, Ruijie introduces 400G datacenter solutions, which meets users' needs for fast-growing bandwidth and scale in Internet industry and supports more flexible and agile business. ”

As the types of business and traffic increase in datacenter, the scale of datacenter network is expanding rapidly. Moreover, balance between agile response, correctness of each change and business stability is becoming more and more difficult. Like it or not, SDN technology is to be replaced by IBN. Ruijie Networks has started its initial discovery of "ultra intelligent network" on the basis of legacy SDN simplified network solution/product, and introduced flow analysis broker FlowBroker, big data platform, AI analysis engine and unified control center for users. All of these will bring a powerful and intelligent closed loop control system to end users.

Lin Jinghua, Senior Network Architect of Ruijie Networks’ Research Group mentioned, ultra-intelligent network will usher in a new era of network development. It will enable decoupling on demand and intelligent control based on various scenarios. Besides, Ruijie's holistic solution IBN is about to roll out shortly to get the most of the "autonomous network".
