Unleashing computing power with new Ethernet.
CloudEngine 16800 Series Data Center Switches
Built for the intelligent era, Huawei CloudEngine 16800 series switches are powered by an innovative iLossless algorithm that learns and trains network-wide traffic in real-time, eliminating packet loss and maximizing throughput.
Large Capacity
173/1548 Tbit/s switching capacity, supporting smooth evolution to 400 GE in anticipation of future traffic demand.
Intelligent Engine
A unique iLossless algorithm learns and trains network-wide traffic in real time, implementing network adaptation and self-optimization. Zero packet loss boosts throughput to 100%.
Intelligent O&M
An intelligent Operations and Maintenance (O&M) platform, supported by telemetry-based data collection in milliseconds, enables fault location within 3 minutes and prediction of 90% of risks.
