Huawei launches open-access SuperPoD architecture for all-scenario computing
Huawei has launched its new SuperPoD architecture, as well as multiple related products including cards, modules, servers and clusters.
The company aims to collaborate with more industry players to create a solid computing backbone for all scenarios using this new architecture.
Yang Chaobin, Huawei’ s Director of the Board and CEO of the ICT Business Group, explained:“ Huawei has developed the groundbreaking SuperPoD architecture based on our UnifiedBus interconnect protocol. This architecture deeply interconnects physical servers so that they can learn, think and reason like a single logical server. This has created a new paradigm for large-scale compute that is more efficient, reliable and scalable.
“ Using SuperPoD, we will be able to advance innovation under our Ascend umbrella and develop a full lineup of SuperPoD products.
“ These products will provide compute for large data centres, enterprise data centres and small-size workstations, and so, SuperPoD technology will benefit every industry. At the same time, we are committed to our open-hardware and open-source-software approach that will help more partners develop their own industry-
scenario-based SuperPoD solutions. This will accelerate developer innovation and foster a thriving ecosystem.”
Huawei’ s new SuperPoD architecture is based on its UnifiedBus protocol, which delivers a number of notable new features, including strong resource pooling, scaling and long-term stability.
GBI selects Nokia to build new network for faster, more resilient connectivity across the Middle East
The new scalable and low-latency network will offer 100G-400G services that boost network resilience and performance for cloud providers, enterprises and carriers.
GBI has selected Nokia’ s 1830 Global Express( GX) optical platform to launch a new high-capacity terrestrial route through Iraq, strengthening connectivity between Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Nokia has announced that Gulf Bridge International( GBI) has selected its optical networking solution to build a new high-capacity terrestrial network, also designed for subsea backhauling, enhancing connectivity between Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Once live, the new network will enable GBI to deliver more than 50 terabits( TB) of capacity to its customers, supporting the region’ s growing digital economy and increasing demand for reliable, scalable bandwidth.
Leveraging Nokia’ s 1830 GX optical networking platform, GBI’ s new network will enable cloud and content providers, telecom operators and enterprises to deliver services with significantly lower latency, higher capacity and improved network availability.
By establishing an entirely new terrestrial route through Iraq, GBI will provide an alternative pathway that bypasses traditional subsea corridors, offering greater diversity and resilience for regional and international data traffic.
“ This partnership with GBI will shape the region’ s next phase of digital growth” said Roque Lozano, Senior Vice President, Network Infrastructure, Middle East and Africa, Nokia:“ Nokia’ s 1830 GX Platform gives GBI the speed, scale and resilience needed to keep pace with surging data demand while supporting more sustainable connectivity across the region.” p
