The S6720 series switches (S6720s) are next-generation 10G box
switches. The S6720 can function as an access switch in an Internet
Data Center (IDC) or a core switch on a campus network.
The S6720 has industry-leading performance, provides up to 24 or 48
line-speed 10 GE ports and a maximum of 6 line-speed QSFP+ ports. It
can be used in a data center to provide 10 Gbit/s access to servers
or function as a core switch on a campus network to provide 10
Gbit/s traffic aggregation. In addition, the S6720 provides a wide
variety of services, comprehensive security policies, and various
QoS features to help customers build scalable, manageable, reliable,
and secure data centers.

The S6720 can be used in Huawei’s sustainable data center solution, which offers four major advantages: evolution, availability, pooling, and visualization.
As shown in the following figure, the S12700 Agile Switches function as core switches in a data center and use NGFW cards to ensure security. The S6720 function as an access switch and provides high-density 10 GE ports to connect to 10G servers.
The S6720 is applicable to MAN convergence. It provides industry-leading high-density 10-gigabit ports to meet the increasing bandwidth demand. Abundant features and perfect security control mechanisms enable the S6720 to be the most cost-effective choice for MAN convergence.
