Huawei CloudEngine 1800V (CE1800V) is a distributed Virtual Switch (vSwitch) designed by Huawei for data center virtualization environments. Supporting an abundance of functionality, the CE1800V is open, easy-to-manage, and compatible with the virtualization platforms of VMware and Microsoft, as well as other open-source virtualization platforms. Through Huawei’s close cooperation with VMware and Microsoft, the CE1800V can run on the virtualization platforms of VMware and Microsoft, delivering a strong distributed, virtual switching capability for Virtual Machines (VMs). In addition, the CE1800V can work with Huawei’s CE series hardware switches and Agile Controller to provide a complete network virtualization solution for customers.

Huawei CE1800V is able to control and manage network traffic in virtualization environments of data centers that are deployed with the Hypervisor of VMware, Microsoft, or KVM.
As shown in the following networking diagram, Huawei’s Agile Controller seamlessly works with the CE1800V and hardware switches, as well as other devices and systems. Through the standard OpenFlow/OVSDB protocol, network administrators can implement multiple functions such as delivering OpenFlow flow tables and guiding traffic forwarding, achieving separation of the control plane from the forwarding plane. In addition, through the VXLAN function, the CE1800V can shield differences among upper-layer hardware devices by working as a Network Virtual Endpoint (NVE), thus reducing the constraints on upper-layer device deployment and implementing multi-tenant migration on different platforms. Moreover, Huawei’s eSight NMS can centrally manage and monitor the CE1800V and physical network devices (for example, CE series hardware switches).
