Huawei announced the accomplishment of a full mesh forwarding performance test of Huawei CouldEngine (CE) 12800 series data center switches.
The test result shows that the CE12800 is fully configured with terabit line cards and no packet loss occurs during line-speed forwarding. This test verifies the industry-leading forwarding performance of the CE12800.
With the springing up of cloud computing, big data, social networking services (SNSs), and bring your own device (BYOD), traffic volumes in the data center increase rapidly. This requires more network capacity, especially data center core switches featuring larger switching capacities and higher forwarding performance.
Upholding its commitment of “A Better Way,” Huawei Enterprise Business Group launched the next-generation data center switches CE12800 series, which features the highest performance in the industry. The CE12800 provides a switching capacity of 48Tbps (3 times the industry average) and 2Tbps bandwidth per slot (scalable to 4Tbps in the future) which is 4 times the industry average.
