CloudEngine 12800 Series Data Center Switches

Huawei CloudEngine 12800 series switches are next-generation, high-performance core switches designed for data centers and high-end campus networks. They provide stable, reliable, secure, and fast L2/L3 switching services and help build an elastic, virtual, agile, and high quality network.

The CloudEngine 12800 provides 178/1,032 Tbit/s ultra-large switching capacity and supports 576 x 100 GE, 576 x 40 GE, 2,304 x 25 GE, or 2,304 x 10 GE line-speed interfaces. The switch uses a strict front-to-back airflow design and provides industrial-grade reliability as well as comprehensive virtualization capabilities and a variety of data center service features. Especially designed with multiple energy conservation technologies, this core switch helps to greatly reduce equipment power consumption.

  • Next-Generation Core Engine with the Highest Performance
  • The CloudEngine 12800 provides high capacity, which can support sustainable development of cloud-computing data centers for the next 10 years.
  • Comprehensive Virtualization Capabilities Implement Simple, Efficient Networking
  • The CloudEngine 12800 uses Virtual System (VS) technology to provide an industry-leading virtualization capability that enables one switch to be virtualized into as many as sixteen logical switches. This 1:16 ratio enables one core switch to manage services for an enterprise's multiple service areas such as production, office, and DMZ, or for multiple tenants.
  • Advanced Architecture Ensures Industry-Leading Network Quality
  • The CloudEngine 12800's non-blocking switching architecture includes an orthogonal switch fabric design, Clos architecture, cell switching, Virtual Output Queuing (VOQ), and a super-large buffer.
