【Leading the Era of Supercomputing, Intelligent Cloud-Grade Core Switch】 Specially engineered for ten-thousand-card AI training clusters, delivering jitter-free intelligent AI computing networks.

The NWS8420 is an open core network switch tailored for hyperscale data centers and engineered specifically for ten-thousand-GPU AI training clusters. Boasting an ultra-high bandwidth of 102.4T and congestion-free RoCE protocol, it enables low-latency ful

Product features

  • Ultimate Performance

    Ultra-high bandwidth + dedicated chip: 102.4T ultra-high bandwidth, powered by the Broadcom Tomahawk 5 chip, with 128 ports of 400G QSFP112 all at line-rate forwarding, perfectly matching the high-throughput demands of ten-thousand-card AI clusters.

    Zero-jitter AI network: Supports RoCEv2 lossless communication, with dynamic load balancing + zero-drop design, ensuring stable progress of AI training tasks.

  • Flexible Scalability

    Open ecosystem compatibility: Supports open network systems (ONI) and Sonics/NOS software, balancing flexible deployment with ecosystem adaptability.

    Multi-rate compatibility: QSFP112 ports support downward compatibility with 200G/100G/25G (via optical splitting/BR technology), adapting to the network requirements of different compute nodes.

  • High Stability & Easy Maintenance

    End-to-end redundancy: 2+2 redundant power supplies (1600W), N+1 redundant fans, with military-grade reliability design, suitable for 7×24 high-load operation.

    Extreme energy efficiency design: Ultra-low power consumption (intelligent temperature control + adaptive energy-saving strategies), with robust thermal solutions (customized VC vapor chamber heatsinks + superconducting thermal pads).
