The customer is a leading Chinese network equipment manufacturer, and the product is used in AI data center switches. With the explosive growth of 5G and AI data volumes, switches are no longer simple signal repeaters; they function more like small servers, needing to handle massive packet forwarding and real-time computing.

Customer Requirements

• Low efficiency and availability of compute connectivity

  AI training scales to hundreds of thousands of GPUs, relying on 400G/800G high-speed networking. Hardware bottlenecks, high packet loss, traffic bursts, lack of monitoring, and difficult fault tracing drastically reduce connectivity availability.

• Lack of "hardcore" protection in harsh environments

  Many switches are deployed in factories, roadside cabinets, or outdoor sites (e.g., seaside, mountains). Sulfurous gases in the air react with silver in resistors, forming silver sulfide. This causes electrode open circuits and memory boot failures.

• Stringent testing requirements

  Carrier-grade switches face wide temperature fluctuations and require 99.999% reliability (≤5 minutes downtime/year). Memory modules must pass rigorous stress testing.

ADATA Industrial Solution

ADATA Industrial – Embracing the AI generation, unleashing breakthrough momentum and leveraging global industrial technology expertise to build a secure and controllable telecom network foundation

• ADATA Industrial DDR5 5600 ECC Series

  32GB per module, speed up to 5600MT/s (75% faster than DDR4).

•  Anti-sulfur Resistor Design

  Standard resistor contacts are easily exposed to air. The anti-sulfur resistor adds a protective layer to its structure, completely isolating the silver layer from air contact.

• Industrial-grade rigorous testing

  To meet carrier-grade high reliability standards, memory modules undergo stress testing far beyond standard commercial specifications during the R&D phase – a 100+ hour non-stop burn-in test to effectively screen out potential defective units from the semiconductor manufacturing process.
