Huawei launches open-access SuperPoD architecture for all-scenario computing

Huawei has launched its new SuperPoD architecture, as well as multiple related products including cards, modules, servers and clusters.

The company aims to collaborate with more industry players to create a solid computing backbone for all scenarios using this new architecture.
Yang Chaobin, Huawei’ s Director of the Board and CEO of the ICT Business Group, explained:“ Huawei has developed the groundbreaking SuperPoD architecture based on our UnifiedBus interconnect protocol. This architecture deeply interconnects physical servers so that they can learn, think and reason like a single logical server. This has created a new paradigm for large-scale compute that is more efficient, reliable and scalable.
“ Using SuperPoD, we will be able to advance innovation under our Ascend umbrella and develop a full lineup of SuperPoD products.
“ These products will provide compute for large data centres, enterprise data centres and small-size workstations, and so, SuperPoD technology will benefit every industry. At the same time, we are committed to our open-hardware and open-source-software approach that will help more partners develop their own industryscenario-based SuperPoD solutions. This will accelerate developer innovation and foster a thriving ecosystem.”
Huawei’ s new SuperPoD architecture is based on its UnifiedBus protocol, which delivers a number of notable new features, including strong resource pooling, scaling and long-term stability.

Zayo puts high-capacity network muscle behind Mexico, US manufacturing corridor

Zayo has launched of its first Zayo-owned Point of Presence( PoP) in Mexico – marking a major expansion of its high-capacity North

American network.
AI-driven automation, smart-factory systems, industrial IoT and distributed cloud environments, they need high-capacity connectivity to support data-intensive workflows.
Located in Monterrey, the new 400G PoP extends Zayo’ s reach across Mexico, the United States and Canada, delivering the performance required for innovation and cross-border operations as AI, cloud and advanced manufacturing accelerate across the region.
Monterrey has emerged as a strategic center for near shoring and advanced manufacturing, with electronics, automotive and aerospace companies rapidly scaling operations. As these industries adopt
By adding 400G capabilities directly in Monterrey, Zayo brings essential capacity closer to where production and data originate, offering improved performance and lower latency for edge-centric operations. Connected to Zayo’ s extensive North American network, enterprises can seamlessly scale wherever production and data demand.
“ Monterrey is where global manufacturing and digital innovation are converging,” said Joel Daly, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy, Zayo.“ With this expansion in Mexico, we are providing customers a stronger, faster network foundation to support modern workloads, automation, and cross-border operations.”
This announcement builds on Zayo’ s continued investment in Mexico, including connections between key Mexican and US locations and major border crossings. Zayo also plans additional PoPs in strategic Mexican markets, advancing its vision of a seamless, high-capacity fabric connecting Canada, the United States and Mexico. These enhancements are pitched as ensuring resilient connectivity for evolving North American ecosystems.
