Cloud data center infrastructures demand extreme scalability, flexible traffic orchestration, and uninterrupted services, while AI training and inference clusters require ultra-high bandwidth, microsecond-level latency, and lossless packet transmission to support massive parallel workloads. Traditionally, delivering these heterogeneous capabilities on a single network platform has been a significant challenge. The FS N8550-24CD8D 200G switch overcomes this complexity by combining EVPN-VXLAN to ensure cloud data center elasticity, with RoCEv2 to enable truly lossless AI networking.
This article will provide an overview of the technologies of EVPN-VXLAN and RoCEv2, as well as application cases based on the FS N8550-24CD8D 200G switch. It will explore how the N8550-24CD8D integrates these two technologies to build a data center fabric with enhanced resilience and lossless network functions.
