By 2025, there are expected to be 2.8 billion 5G users and 100 billion IoT connections worldwide, with 80 billion devices connecting via Wi-Fi 6. Enterprises of all sizes must therefore ensure ubiquitous connectivity for large numbers of devices and capitalize on both AI and cloud to greatly improve operational efficiency. By 2025, 97% of enterprises will also adopt AI. In the digital age, data security is crucial to enterprises and even key to their survival. As such, enterprises are looking for all-inclusive network protection to ensure data security. As digital transformation accelerates across many industries, digitalization of the network itself, which is the foundation of enterprise ICT, is not proceeding as expected.
Huawei's Intent-Driven Network (IDN) leverages a simplified, ultra-broadband network infrastructure to achieve not only wider access but also simpler management. A digital twin is used to build a digital world, enabling technologies such as AI and big data to be applied in the network field, realizing "autonomous driving" networks.
In 2019, Huawei clearly outlined intelligent IP networks, defining three core capabilities: intelligent connectivity, intelligent Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and intelligent learning. Huawei also released an innovative three-layer AI architecture for intelligent IP networks: an AI-powered device layer, an AI-powered network layer, and an AI-powered cloud.
The AI-powered device layer builds on Huawei's AI Turbo series of network devices embedded with AI chips, including AirEngine Wi-Fi 6, CloudEngine switches, NetEngine routers, and HiSecEngine security gateways. The AI-powered network layer is realized through iMaster NCE (Huawei's autonomous driving network management and control system). The AI-powered cloud comes with iMaster NAIE (the industry's first network AI center). The three-layer AI architecture delivers new levels of intelligence in IP networks and leads the new era of intelligent IP networks.
Huawei IDN provides enterprises with solutions tailored specifically to scenarios such as campus, data center, WAN, branch interconnection, and network security, helping them move toward a fully connected, intelligent world.
