Huawei CloudEngine CE8865-SAN-4C – Data Center Storage Network Switch

Name: Huawei CloudEngine CE8865-SAN-4C Data Center Storage Network Switch - SunSpike
SKU: CE8865-SAN-4C

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE8865-SAN-4C is a next-generation, high-performance modular Ethernet switch purpose-built for all-flash storage networks in modern data centers. It is a flexible-card fixed switch that provides full-rate access ports ranging from GE to 400GE.

The switch chassis is 2U high and supports four half-width flexible subcard slots, enabling flexible combinations of interface cards. It supports up to 16 × 400GE QSFP-DD ports, 64 × 100GE QSFP28 ports (with 4 ports upgradable to 200GE), or 96 × 25GE SFP28 ports, depending on the interface cards installed.

The CE8865-SAN-4C runs on the Huawei YunShan software platform and incorporates the exclusive iLossless intelligent algorithm, which makes NVMe operations more efficient and fully unleashes the potential of all-flash storage. It also supports NOF+ technology (NVMe Over Fabric Plus) to implement plug-and-play of the storage network and fast fault detection.

The chassis is supplied without fan boxes and power modules, which must be ordered separately. It supports 1+1 redundant, hot-swappable power modules and N+1 redundant, hot-swappable fan modules.

Key differentiators of the CE8865-SAN-4C include its purpose-built design for all-flash storage networks, iLossless intelligent algorithm for lossless storage networking, NOF+ technology for plug-and-play storage deployment, flexible modular card architecture, RTU-based on-demand port upgrades, M-LAG for cross-device link aggregation, and seamless integration with CloudEngine 16800-X series switches to build intelligent lossless DCN solutions.
