Data Center Switches

CloudEngine 16800 Series Data Center Switches

CloudEngine 16800 series switches are data center switches designed for the intelligent era. They use an industry-leading backplane-free Clos architecture and a strict front-to-back airflow design to provide industrial-grade reliability. The switches support extensive data center service features. In 2023, Huawei comprehensively upgraded the CloudEngine 16800 series switches and launched the CE16800-X — the industry's first core switch tailored for the diverse computing era, which comes with high-density 400GE ports.

CloudEngine Data Center Storage Network Switches

DC storage network switches are designed to interconnect all-flash storage networks in DCs. These switches use advanced hardware structure design to provide high-density 10GE/25GE/50GE/100GE access ports and 100GE/200GE uplink ports. They support flexible selection of airflow directions. The switches support unique iLossless algorithm, which makes NVMe run more efficiently and fully unleashes the potential of all-flash storage. They also support NOF+ technology to implement storage network plug-and-play and E2E visualization of link quality and network performance.

CloudEngine XH16800 Series Data Center Switches

The CloudEngine XH16800 series are data center core switches designed specifically for AI scenarios. They offer high computing efficiency and computing availability. In terms of computing efficiency, they support network-scale load balancing (NSLB), fully harnessing the computing power of AI clusters. Regarding computing availability, features like exclusive iFlashboot and optical module channel loss resistance ensure uninterrupted month-level AI training. This switch series employ an advanced hardware architecture, featuring an industry-leading backplane-free Clos orthogonal design, industrial-grade reliability, a strict front-to-back airflow system, and a wealth of data center capabilities.
