Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6885H-48YS8CQ is a next-generation, high-density fixed-form-factor data center switch designed for modern cloud and enterprise networks. As a 1RU top-of-rack (ToR) and aggregation switch, it provides high-performance server access with 48 x 25GE SFP28 downlink ports and 8 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, with the flexibility to support 10GE/25GE/50GE on downlinks and 40GE/100GE/200GE on uplinks through software configuration .

This switch is engineered to meet the demands of high-density, low-latency data center environments. It delivers a switching capacity of up to 8 Tbps and a forwarding rate of up to 2400 Mpps, ensuring wire-speed performance for bandwidth-intensive applications . The CE6885H-48YS8CQ integrates advanced features critical for modern data centers, including VXLAN and BGP-EVPN for network virtualization, M-LAG for multi-chassis link aggregation and high availability, and comprehensive support for RoCEv2 and intelligent lossless network algorithms (AI-ECN, PFC) to guarantee high performance for storage and AI/ML workloads .

The switch is built with operational efficiency in mind. It supports flexible front-to-back or back-to-front airflow, 1+1 redundant hot-swappable power supplies, and N+1 redundant hot-swappable fan trays, facilitating deployment in various data center layouts . Telemetry, iFit, and Packet Event technologies enable real-time network monitoring and intelligent operations, while features like Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) simplify large-scale deployment .
