iMaster NCE-Fabric

A core component of Huawei’s CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution, iMaster NCE-Fabric — Huawei’s network automation and intelligence platform — implements unified control and dynamic scheduling of multiple local data centers and public cloud network resources, enabling rapid deployment of enterprise cloud services.
Open architecture provides a wide range of open standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Northbound, iMaster NCE-Fabric uses independent service provisioning User Interfaces (UIs) to implement L2 to L7 interconnection with an OpenStack cloud platform and Kubernetes container orchestration platform. Southbound, it manages physical and virtual network devices — such as firewalls and physical and virtual switches — achieving heterogeneous network device management by loading drivers.
Northbound Interfaces (NBIs) enable iMaster NCE-Fabric to intelligently convert user-centric service requirements into network configurations, perform simulation and verification, and deliver configurations in batches, making networks automated and intelligent. With highly reliable cluster capability load balancing northbound and southbound services, the platform can also be deployed in active/standby mode for Disaster Recovery (DR), ensuring high reliability for data center services.
