Huawei CloudEngine CE6885-SAN-56F Data Center Storage Network Switch – Product Documentation

Name: Huawei CloudEngine CE6885-SAN-56F - Refurbished & Tested - SunSpike
Brand: HUAWEI
SKU: CE6885-SAN-56F

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6885-SAN-56F is a next-generation, high-density 10GE/25GE/50GE access switch purpose-built for all-flash storage networks in modern data centers . Designed to address the performance demands of NVMe storage, this switch provides high-density 40GE/100GE/200GE uplink ports within a compact 1U form factor.

At the heart of its design is Huawei’s exclusive iLossless intelligent algorithm, which eliminates packet loss on traditional Ethernet networks, creating a zero-packet-loss, low-latency, and high-throughput environment critical for RoCEv2 applications . This capability, combined with support for iNOF (intelligent NOF) technology, enables plug-and-play storage network deployment, rapid fault detection, and sub-second active/standby server switchover .

The switch features flexible airflow direction selection (front-to-back or back-to-front), redundant power supplies (1+1), and N+1 redundant hot-swappable fans, making it suitable for diverse data center deployment scenarios . It can be deployed alongside Huawei CloudEngine 8850-SAN or CloudEngine 16800-X switches to build intelligent lossless Data Center Networks (DCNs) that fully unlock the potential of all-flash storage infrastructure .
