On January 9th, Huawei unveiled the industry's first data center switch built for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era –– CloudEngine 16800, at its network product launch event for Spring 2019 themed "A CloudEngine Built for the AI Era". Huawei defines three characteristics of data center switches in the AI era: embedded AI chip, 48-port 400GE line card per slot, and the capability to evolve to the autonomous driving network, and innovatively incorporates AI technologies into data center switches. The pervasive use of AI will help customers accelerate intelligent transformation.
