In the face of ever-growing data processing requirements, existing data center infrastructures struggle to deliver on flexibility and total cost of ownership (TCO) expectations. Huawei believes that a pooled, agile, and software-defined infrastructure will drive the improvement of future data centers. Intel’s RSD architecture disaggregates servers into pools of compute, storage, PCIe, and memory that can be allocated as necessary to meet the needs of applications at a rack level. Based on the open industry standard Redfish™, the RSD architecture revolutionizes efficiency and flexibility of data center resources, and ushers in a new era for hyper-scale data center deployment. This product introduction will be an extended solution offering in the existing Huawei E9000 and X6800 product portfolio family.
“Huawei values our close collaboration with Intel and we have cooperated in various areas of innovation,” said Mr. Qiu Long, President of the Huawei Server Product Line. “This release makes the Huawei FusionServer’s E9000 and X6800 early movers to join the Intel® RSD server ecosystem. This not only extends the strength of Huawei in the server space, but also brings Huawei’s customers one step closer to a future of a fully software-defined infrastructure. Backed by Huawei’s innovations over the years, Huawei servers will continue to deliver superior performance and reliability to customers, empowering our customers with better confidence to compete in the future."
Sandra Rivera, Vice President and General Manager of Intel Network Platforms Group said, “The launch of the Huawei RSD platform is indicative of the value in more agile and flexible solutions for hyper-scale data centers, supported by Intel architecture and technologies. This type of collaborative solution within the industry will accelerate data center innovation.”
