Amazon has achieved a breakthrough in data center networking by deploying a "quasi-random" network design called RNG (Resilient Network Graphs) that increases data speeds while reducing energy consumption. The new technology, combined with the ShuffleBox equipment, replaces traditional fat-tree architectures and significantly reduces cabling complexity across Amazon's global infrastructure.
