H3C CR16000-M8 Router with Zhiqing 660 Chip for Enterprise Networks

H3C CR16000-M8 Router Self-Developed Zhiqing 660 Chip SRv6 Cloud Integration & High Reliability For Enterprise Networks

The H3C CR16000-M8 Router is a cutting-edge enterprise and carrier-grade networking solution designed for high-performance cloud integration, ultra-low latency, and carrier-class reliability. Powered by H3C’s self-developed Zhiqing 660 chip (16nm process, 256 cores, 2.4Tbps line-card performance), this router delivers unmatched efficiency, reducing power consumption by 41% compared to previous-gen NPUs while boosting processing power.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Self-Developed Dual-Core Architecture

   • Zhiqing 660 Chip: Optimized for C-language programming, enabling rapid service deployment and energy-efficient operations.

   • Comware OS: Modular network OS supports hot upgrades, fault recovery, and seamless failover for zero downtime.

2. Cloud-Optimized Networking with SRv6

   • SRv6 "One-Hop-to-Cloud": Simplifies cross-domain cloud deployments, enabling minute-level service provisioning for hybrid and distributed cloud environments.

   • Multi-Level Network Slicing: Supports FlexE, sub-interface slicing, and Flex-Algo to create isolated virtual networks for different traffic types (e.g., video, VoIP, IoT).

3. Carrier-Grade Reliability

   • Redundant Design: Hot-swappable control boards, power supplies, and fans ensure 99.999% uptime.

   • ISSU & GR/NSR Support: In-service software upgrades and non-stop routing prevent service interruptions during maintenance.

4. AI-Driven Intelligent Operations

   • Nanosecond-Level Telemetry: Real-time flow monitoring with sub-microsecond latency detection for predictive maintenance.

   • AD-WAN Simulation: Pre-tests network changes (e.g., link cuts, config updates) to avoid service disruptions.

5. Energy Efficiency & Green Design

   • 30% Improved Cooling: Direct airflow design lowers operating temps by 5°C.

   • 20-30% Lower Power Consumption: Dynamic CPU activation and low-power DDR controllers optimize energy use.
