The Microsoft Hyper-V network virtualization platform and Huawei CloudEngine series data centre switches work together to offer a high-performance, flexible Hybrid Fabric solution.
The Microsoft vSwitch — with the Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) protocol — can build an overlay-virtualized network. The CloudEngine series core switches can be used as hardware NVGRE gateway devices on the overlay network. The NVGRE gateways implement high-speed communication between Microsoft virtual machines and campus/branch users, or between Microsoft virtual machines and other vendors' virtual machines and physical servers. Huawei and Microsoft can jointly build a Hybrid Fabric network that combines the high performance of hardware and the flexibility of software. This network is highly scalable and can support up to 16 million tenants.
Virtualization and automation technologies have improved the efficiency of the IT Innovative overlay technology: Hybrid Fabric network virtualization solution.
