SKU: CE6857S-48S6CQ

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6857S-48S6CQ is a next-generation, high-performance, high-density, low-latency 10GE Top-of-Rack (TOR) data center switch . Designed for cloud computing and virtualization environments, this 1U form-factor switch delivers wire-speed L2/L3 forwarding to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers .

The switch provides 48 x 10GE SFP+ downlink ports for server access and 6 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports for interconnectivity with the data center core network . Powered by Huawei’s VRP8 operating system, it supports advanced data center features including VXLAN-EVPN, M-LAG (Multi-chassis Link Aggregation), and service port-based stacking . The platform offers flexible programmability through Open APIs, enabling seamless integration with mainstream cloud platforms and third-party controllers for automated network orchestration .

With flexible front-to-back or back-to-front airflow designs, the CE6857S-48S6CQ adapts to various data center cooling architectures, providing efficient thermal management for 7×24 operations .
