On September 25, 2024, the highly anticipated PT Expo (China International Information and Communication Exhibition) grandly opened in Beijing. Themed around "Promoting Deep Integration of Digital and Real Economies, Jointly Building New Productivity," the exhibition showcased the innovative applications and breakthroughs of information and communication technologies across various fields. As a pioneer in open network architecture solutions, StarFinet shone brightly at the event, attracting the attention of numerous industry clients and professionals.

One-stop high-performance AI intelligent computing network

Aimed at AI intelligent computing centers and cloud computing data centers, StarFinet introduced the CX-N series of switches, helping clients build ultra-low-latency, flexible, reliable, and scalable data center networks that can be horizontally expanded on demand. These networks provide exceptional network services for clients in AI/ML, high-performance computing, and cloud computing. At the exhibition, StarFinet showcased its AI Ethernet switches, boasting 51.2T switching capacity and 64 x 800G high-density interfaces, attracting significant attention from the AI industry, including compute power and large model sectors.

Next-generation cloud campus network architecture

At the exhibition, StarFinet's "DIY-capable CX102S-DPU open intelligent gateway" and its series of campus switches garnered significant interest from enterprise campus clients. These products, designed for the next-generation cloud campus network, are Spine/Leaf-layer offerings that support a range of Layer 2 and Layer 3 network functions and diverse access security features. They also offer POE power supply options with 8, 16, 24, and 48 ports, enabling clients to build a more streamlined, efficient, secure, reliable, and flexible cloud campus network.

Visual monitoring platform for RoCE scenarios

In practical applications, while flexible and open network infrastructure is essential, a simpler, lower-latency monitoring platform is also needed. To address this, StarFinet leverages its open hardware and software architecture and in-band network telemetry (INT) capabilities to offer a customized visual monitoring platform tailored for RoCE scenarios. This platform is straightforward and user-friendly, eliminating the need for clients to develop it themselves.

P4 programmable network solution

For smart gateways, NFV, education and research, and other applications, StarFinet's self-developed X-T series hardware platform garnered significant interest from clients. The X-T series employs P4 programmable switching chips, supporting full-stack programmability, and offers clients an out-of-the-box, flexible, and agile development environment alongside high-density port access capabilities. Despite fluctuations in the P4 ASIC supply landscape due to traditional manufacturers' production and supply issues, StarFinet, leveraging its solid business foundation and technological innovations, continues to meet clients' demands for P4 switches and provides comprehensive professional support services.

At this exhibition, StarFinet garnered significant attention and recognition from clients thanks to its leading technological prowess and profound industry experience. Moving forward, StarFinet will continue to delve deeper into its field, collaborating with numerous partners to offer more shared and open network solutions to enterprise clients, jointly exploring the boundless possibilities of open networking.
