The CloudEngine 12800 (CE12800) series switches are next-generation, high-performance core switches designed for data center networks and high-end campus networks. Using Huawei’s next-generation VRP8 software platform, CE12800 series switches provide stable, reliable, secure, and high-performance L2/L3 switching capabilities to help build an elastic, virtualized, and high-quality network.

The CE12800 series switches use advanced hardware architecture design and have the highest performance of any currently available core switches. The CE12800 provides as much as 48 Tbit/s switching capacity and high-density line-speed ports. Each switch has up to 288*40GE, or 1152*10GE ports.

The CE12800 series switches use an industry-leading Clos architecture and provide comprehensive virtualization capabilities along with data center service features. Moreover, the CE12800 switches use innovative energy-saving technologies to greatly reduce power consumption and have a front-to-rear ventilation channel design to provide industrial-grade reliability.
