Amazon unveils 'Resilient Network Graphs' data center network that cuts hardware by 69% and boosts throughput by 33% — now the default for most AWS workloads
Amazon has introduced a new data center networking architecture called Resilient Network Graphs (RNG), which enhances throughput by 33% while reducing hardware needs by 69%. This architecture replaces traditional hierarchical structures with a flatter design, aimed at improving data movement efficiency. RNG has already been deployed in several data centers and is now the default for most AWS workloads.
- ▪The Resilient Network Graphs architecture reduces network power consumption by 40%.
- ▪Amazon claims that the new design can cut infrastructure costs by up to 45%.
- ▪RNG has been rolled out across most newly built data centers and will support future deployments.
