SKU: CE6850U-24S2Q-HI

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6850U-24S2Q-HI is a high-performance, fixed-configuration top-of-rack (TOR) switch designed for modern data center and high-end campus network deployments. As part of the CloudEngine 6800 series, this 1U form-factor switch delivers high port density, low latency, and advanced data center features for building scalable, cloud-oriented network infrastructures.

The switch features 24 x 10GE SFP+ service ports that also support 2G/4G/8G Fibre Channel (FC) for storage area network integration, along with 2 x 40GE QSFP+ uplink ports that can be split into four 10GE ports each for flexible connectivity options. Built on Huawei’s VRP8 platform, the CE6850U-24S2Q-HI supports advanced virtualization technologies including VXLAN, TRILL, M-LAG, and SVF, enabling simplified management of large-scale network fabrics. The switch also supports FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), allowing data, storage, and computing traffic to converge on a single network infrastructure.

With dual hot-swappable power modules and fan modules supporting both front-to-back and back-to-front airflow directions, the CE6850U-24S2Q-HI provides flexible deployment options to match various data center cooling architectures. Its programmability features include OpenFlow support and OPS (Open Programmability System) for customized network service delivery.
