How does Xinhuasan capture the core routing market in the P-class era?

 When one person/thing cannot solve a problem, a group of people/things must work together. When the capacity of a single machine gradually grows to the limit, the network structure becomes increasingly complex and the operation and maintenance management becomes more difficult, the term "cluster router" was born.

　　Without interrupting the service and changing the network architecture, cluster routers can meet the needs of high-speed service growth and network performance and capacity improvement. Especially in the current process of transformation and reconstruction of telecom operators, cluster routers are the most effective way for telecom operators to expand the capacity of IP backbone network.

　　Cluster routers that have been successfully implemented in only 4 years

　　Currently, only a few vendors worldwide are able to develop cluster router devices. According to the past situation, a cluster router system, in principle, takes 7~8 years from the beginning of the project to mature commercialization, while the XinHuashan CR19000 cluster router has only taken 4 years to be successfully launched and commercially landed since 2016.

　　The reason for this, Zeng Fugui, chief product manager of the router product line of Xinhuashan Group, said, "Xinhuashan has a domestic first-class R&D and design team in the field of hardware engineering and single-board process, which can meet the design of the whole cluster router system, including the whole system, backplane, heat dissipation, power supply, and single-board process."

　　On the other hand, Xinhuasan has borrowed the mature experience and technology of the industry and stood on the basis of its predecessors to do some work. In order to ensure the subsequent extensibility of this system of the cluster, the R&D team has also done some innovative technical research, such as chip-out light, high-speed backplane interconnection, and the use of the latest thermal conductivity and heat dissipation materials.

　　New Huasan CR19000 leads the era of P-class cloud-based clusters

　　As a new generation core router independently developed by Xinhuasan for carrier applications, the CR19000 adopts a new software and hardware architecture design, applies the industry's advanced CLOS architecture and cutting-edge optical connectivity technology, and is developed based on the network operating system Comware V7, which comprehensively improves the stability of the core router software system and has good software scalability, fully meeting the deployment requirements of operational users.

　　In terms of performance, the CR19000 cluster router represents the top level of similar products today. It provides the industry's high-density 100G Ethernet interface and supports 12-frame clusters, which can be expanded to a maximum of 72-frame clusters, making the CR19000 the best of its kind in the world today.

　　In terms of application deployment, the CR19000 cluster router can be widely used in core locations such as carrier backbone nodes, carrier metro core nodes, and large data center interconnection nodes. So far, CR19000 cluster router has 300 units of landing projects in China, including CMnet national backbone nodes of China Mobile, Guangdong Telecom, Shanghai Mobile, and also involves electric power, transportation, medical and other industries, and has been recognized by users.

　　The CR19000 cluster router can simultaneously carry massive data transmission demands, save 70% space and 50% energy consumption, and the device supports single-frame, back-to-back and multi-frame clusters and smooth upgrades, all of which can help operators increase revenue capacity, reduce TCO and protect system investment.

　　Future product planning for clustered routers by Xinhua San

　　High-end cluster routers are characterized by large forwarding capacity, good performance, stability and reliability, and a network architecture with extensibility and scalability that can support rich applications. Based on these characteristics, Xinhuashan will plan the development of cluster routers from the following 3 aspects.

　　The first aspect is to continue the existing system architecture, iterate continuously, and improve performance and capacity. Through the use of self-research chip technology, we will improve the single slot and the whole machine capacity, and make the system bigger and stronger.

　　The second aspect, in the case of improving performance, specifications and capacity, Xinhuasan will adopt new technologies, such as heat dissipation technology and heat conduction technology, to improve chip integration, bring down the power consumption of the whole system and create green devices, while miniaturizing and intensifying the devices.

　　The third aspect is to make the cluster system equipment of Xinhuashan automated and intelligent. The importance of equipment makes the pressure on operation and maintenance personnel very high. Xinhuashan's next step is to use current SDN technology and AI technology to make equipment easier to maintain, service deployment more convenient and troubleshooting more agile.

　　Gu Weiping, Director of Core Router Product Development Department of Xinhuasan Group, pointed out that "Xinhuasan has added a lot of business-related developments to CR19000, such as various anti-attacks. We are not asking to do all these measures like security products against virus attacks, but the necessary anti-attack preparations we are ahead of the curve and will meet the requirements of operators with greater coverage as well as pressure."

　　In the future, Xinhuashan Networks will take the "Intelligent Connectivity" strategy as the leader to help build intelligent, converged, minimalist, reliable and ultra-wide intelligent network connectivity and help customers realize the transformation of their business to digitalization and intelligence.
