Description
Huawei CE16816 Switch High-Performance Data Center Core Switch
Product Overview
Huawei CloudEngine 16816 Switch is the first data center switch for the AI era. Embedded AI chip, carrying the original lossless intelligent lossless exchange algorithm, real-time learning, and training for network traffic, achieving network 0 packet loss and E2Eμs delay, achieving the highest throughput. The software platform is based on Huawei’s VRP8 operating system. Based on the stable, reliable and high-performance L2/L3 layer switching service, it builds an intelligent, minimal, secure and open data center cloud network platform for customers. Additionally, CloudEngine 16800 provides telemetry technology to collect device data in real time and send the data to Huawei data center network analyzer iMaster NCE-FabricInsight. The iMaster NCE-FabricInsight analyzes network data based on the intelligent fault identification algorithm, accurately displays the real-time network status, effectively demarcates and locates faults in a timely manner, and identifies network problems that affect user experience, accurately guaranteeing user experience
