Evolution of Switches
In 1989, Kalpana launched the rst model of a 10 M Ethernet
switch. An IP switch forwards packets based on MAC
addresses. Switches eliminate the drawbacks of broadcast
storms caused by hubs and signicantly improve bandwidth
efciency.
In 1995, 100 M switches were introduced and vendors began
to rapidly develop newer and better switches. Today, in the
21st century, Ethernet-based devices such as computers,
servers, printers, IP phones, and wireless Access Points (APs),
place even higher requirements on switch forwarding capacity.
GE, 10 GE, and now 40 GE switches have been launched
in succession, and 100 GE capability is on its way. This
brochure highlights Huaweis in-depth understanding of the
development of switch technologies. In addition to enhancing
forwarding capacity, the development of switches has taken
the following directions:
Service innovation
Switch vendors must understand new and emerging
services and have the capability to integrate all devices
involved in networking. In addition, vendors must have
deep insights into market directions and build strong R&D
capabilities to meet these challenges.
With more than two decades' extensive experience in the
communications eld, Huawei has developed deep insights
and powerful R&D capabilities. Huawei is dedicated to
providing excellent products and solutions for enterprise
users.
Energy saving
Broadband Internet, Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC),
and IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) are becoming widely
used, resulting in a sharp increase in bandwidth. As the
transmission rate of network communications devices
continues to increase, so does their power consumption.
As for switches in densely packed data centers, vendors
must take energy savings into consideration while also
focusing on the switches high reliability, scalability, and
service processing capabilities. Huawei switches use a
unique energy-saving design, and have interchangeable
modules and components. These switches use Huawei's
patented device sleeping (port sleeping and complete
equipment sleeping) technology, which greatly reduces
energy consumption and improves heat dissipation
efciency without compromising performance and stability.
Improved reliability
Traditional GE campus networks must be upgraded to provide the bandwidth needed for cloud
computing and multimedia applications. This document analyzes the growing trend of using 10 GE
ports.

Enterprises are turning increasingly to desktop cloud, cloud computing, and cloud storage to simplify IT operation and maintenance,
reduce costs, and improve work efciency. Gartner forecasts that 65% of enterprises worldwide will have deployed desktop clouds
by 2015. Cloud applications and multimedia require high-quality network infrastructures to provide a delay-free user experience.
Huawei S9700 series switches are high-end terabit routing switches designed for multi-service convergence. S9700 switches can be
deployed in data centers and the core layer of medium- and large-sized enterprise campus networks.

Intelligent O&M
S5700-LI switches support automatic conguration, plug and
play, and automatic remote batch upgrade to greatly simplify
network management and minimize O&M costs. S5700-LIs
also support intelligent PoE power supply, which optimizes the
work environment and lowers costs by reducing the amount of
cabling required. S5700-LIs provide a maximum of 30 W PoE
power per port, which is sufcient for many terminals. Port
power can be automatically adjusted based on terminal power.

Energy-Saving Design
S1700 series switches are industry-leading energy savers.
These switches use a three- dimensional energy-saving
design consisting of "energy-saving ports + energy-saving
chips + structural energy saving." S1700s use 60 nm chips to
dynamically adjust power on ports based on trafc volume.
Idle S1700 ports can enter the sleeping state to further reduce
power consumption. Power consumption of an S1700 switch
amounts to that of only one compact uorescent lamp.
S1700s also offer a quiet, fanless design that allows natural
heat dissipation to cool down the device.
