Huawei has launched the newest member of its CloudEngine (CE) series of switches, the CE12816, at Interop 2013.
The CE12816 provides the largest switching capacity in the industry at 64 Tbps, and extends Huawei’s leadership in the high-performance data center switching market, the company said.
Leveraging Huawei's next-generation VRP8 software platform, the CE12816 provides stable, reliable, secure, and high-performance L2/L3 switching capabilities to help customers build scalable, virtualized and converged data center architectures.
Its advanced hardware architecture is designed to have the highest performance of any currently available core switch. Like all the switches in the Cloud Engine 12800 family, the CE12816 provides support for 1, 10, 40 and 100 GE connectivity.
The CloudEngine series provides high bandwidth of up to 2Tbps per slot today, and is expandable in the future with upgradeable fabrics and linecards to a total system switching capacity of up to 64 Tbps.
