Scalable Performance for Future Development

Single slot supports 2Tbps bandwidth (scalable to 8Tbps). The series also supports high-density 40GE ports to meet the requirements of cloud data center in the coming decade.

The RG-S8600E Series supports up to 170K ARP entries, handling a large amount of online users with ease.

The Series is also market leading in supporting line-rate packet forwarding. The modules including the highest-density all support 64-byte packet forwarding at line rate. The switches thereby guarantee high-speed forwarding with zero packet loss in large-scale data center.

The switches offer ultra-low latency less than 1μs to support high-speed transmission.

Virtualization for Demand-based Allocation

●World’s Leading Cloud Network Core

○CLOS Non-blocking Architecture

Advanced CLOS Architecture

●Virtual Switch Unit 3.0 (VSU)

The RG-S8600E Series supports the Virtual Switch Unit 3.0 (VSU). The technology can virtualize up to 4 physical devices into one logical unit, which largely minimizes the number of network nodes and reduce maintenance workload. Superior 50~200ms link failover ensures smooth and uninterrupted transmission of key services. The RG-S8600E Series supports cross-device link aggregation for easy double uplink to server/switch, effectively maximizing bandwidth investment return.

Benefits of 4-to-1 Virtualization

●Virtual Switch Device (VSD)

The RG-S8600E Series support VSD in which one device can be virtualized into multiple virtual units. Each virtual unit has a unique configuration management interface and independent hardware allocation (e.g. storage, TCAM and hardware forwarding table). All the features support restart with no impact on other virtual machines. Users can realize network resource allocation based on different needs. Resources of the core switch can hence be shared with other domains and users. With the enablement of both VSU3.0 and VSD, the switches satisfactorily deliver complete resource pooling.

Advantages of VSD Technology

●Layer 2 Generic Routing Encapsulation (L2-GRE)

With the international L2-GRE standard, the RG-S8600E switches break the geographical boundaries to achieve data center L2 communication. Data center resources at different locations can be centrally managed and allocated.

●Software-Defined Network (SDN) & OpenFlow

Software Defined Networking is an emerging network architecture where network control is decoupled from forwarding and is directly programmable.

Core Concepts

• Decoupling of control plane and forwarding plane hardware / network unified abstraction & virtualization, ease of independent development
• Centralized control & distributed forwarding convert the distributed protocol problem into algorithm problem
• Open programming interface softwarization of hardware, programmable devices, scalable network features & higher flexibility

Solution Components

• Hardware Switching Devices:

Ruijie Newton 18000 8600E and S6220 series platform will fully support OpenFlow 1.0/1.3 modular hardware switching

• SDN Controller RG-IONC

Ruijie Intelligent OpenFlow Network System is an X86 hardware platform, which fully supports OpenFlow 1.0/1.3 and SNMP2.0, providing below SDN control service module:

• Switch/host/topology management, L2/L3 communication
• Traffic editing/path calculation/static routing/DHCP
• MPLS L3 VPN service
• Virtual tenant network service

●Superior Reliability

Redundant design of the RG-S8600E Series key components delivers excellent protection: control engine 1+1 redundancy, fan N+1 redundancy and power module come with N+1 and N+M redundancy for all chassis model S8605E, S8607E and S8610E. All redundant components are hot-swappable to enhance the reliability and availability of the device to the maximum extent. Hot patch and ISSU technologies are also supported to enable online upgrade of devices.

Support GR for OSPF/IS-IS/BGP and BFD for VRRP/OSPF/BGP4/ISIS/ISISv6/MPLS/static routing to enable the fast fault detection mechanism of different protocols. The feature minimizes the fault detection time to less than 50ms.

●Multi-processing Modular Operating System

Since 1998, Ruijie has been investing on the R&D of modular operating system. The RG-S8600E software platform is designed based on the next-generation RGOS 11.X multi-processing modular operating system to integrate the service features such as loosely coupled firewall, wireless, IPFIX and authentication into a unified cloud network operating system. The RG-S8600E software platform also supports full virtualization and offers rich data center and campus network features. The key availability indicators such as multi-processing modules, process backup and hot patch have reached the industry-leading level.

Architecture and Benefits of Multi-process Modular Operating System

●Excellent Energy Efficiency

The RG-S8600E Series adopts 40nm chip technology, which is more energy efficient than the traditional 90nm and 65nm counterparts. Multi-core CPU supports dynamic power management with all fiber ports adopting non-PHY design to reduce power consumption. All Ethernet ports support the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard to save power under light load.

The internal system is designed for low voltage power supply with high-efficiency modular power to form a more efficient power supply system. The smart fan supports 256 speed modulations with precise temperature control, energy saving and noise control. The device can function at high temperature for a long period of time or in harsh environment. The RG-S8600E Series thereby helps clients to maximize savings on air conditioning.
