Ruijie Networks 25G/100G Data Center Network Solutions
Introduction to High-Speed Data Center Networking
Ruijie Networks provides advanced data center networking solutions designed for the evolving demands of modern IT infrastructures. These solutions focus on high-speed connectivity, leveraging 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GE) and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) technologies to deliver superior performance and efficiency.
Key Technologies and Features
Ruijie's data center switches support critical technologies for high-performance computing and large-scale deployments:
- RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access): Enables direct memory access between servers, reducing CPU overhead and latency for demanding applications like AI/ML and high-frequency trading.
- IPv4 & IPv6 Support: Comprehensive support for both current and next-generation IP addressing protocols, ensuring future-proof connectivity.
- PFC (Priority Flow Control) & ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification): Advanced congestion management features crucial for lossless networking environments, particularly with RDMA.
- gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) & Openconfig: Support for modern network management and telemetry standards, facilitating automation and programmability.
- ZAM ERSPAN INT MOD+TCB: Technologies for enhanced network visibility, monitoring, and traffic management within the data center.
Network Architectures and Topologies
Ruijie Networks offers solutions for various data center architectures:
Pod-Spine Architecture
Illustrates a scalable data center design comprising:
- Pod-Spine Switches: Connect to Leaf switches within a pod.
- Leaf Switches: Connect servers and other endpoints within a pod.
- Spine Switches: Provide high-bandwidth connectivity between Leaf switches across different pods, forming the backbone.
- Server Pods: Groups of servers connected via Leaf switches.
These architectures are designed for high East-West traffic flow, essential for distributed applications and cloud environments.
Scalable Deployments
Solutions are available for different scales, supporting configurations from 1,000 to 2,000 servers (Box1k~2k) and 2,000 to 4,000 servers (Box2k~4k), with high port densities of 100G RDMA ports.
