Huawei’s AI Fabric solution is designed to build a unified, intelligent lossless data center network by integrating traditionally separate network infrastructures into a single converged Ethernet-based fabric.
The three integrated networks are:
Computing network (C): Handles east-west traffic between compute nodes (e.g., AI training clusters, GPU servers).
Storage network (B): Supports high-throughput, low-latency storage access (e.g., distributed storage systems like HDFS or Ceph).
Ethernet network (D): Provides the underlying IP-based transport, enabling unified connectivity and scalability.
Traditionally, InfiniBand (IB) networks were used for high-performance computing due to their low latency and RDMA capabilities. However, Huawei AI Fabric replaces IB with lossless Ethernet (RoCE-based) solutions, allowing all services (compute + storage + management) to run over a single Ethernet fabric .
This convergence reduces:
Network complexity
Capital and operational costs
Management overhead
While improving:
Resource utilization
Scalability
Automation
Therefore, the correct three networks are Storage, Computing, and Ethernet , making B, C, and D correct .
