CloudEngine 6800 Series
Data Center Switches
Next generation 10 GE, 25 GE, and 50 GE switches.
Next generation 10 GE, 25 GE, and 50 GE switches.
Overview
CloudEngine 6800 Series Data Center Switches
Offering high performance, high port density, and low latency, CloudEngine 6800 series switches enable enterprises and carriers alike to build cloud-oriented data center networks. The series features an advanced hardware design combined with either 10 GE, 25 GE, or 50 GE access ports, and 40 GE, 100 GE, or 200 GE uplink ports. Advanced data center features, high performance stacking technologies, and flexible airflow capabilities complete the series.
CloudEngine 6800 is well suited to both the core and aggregation layers, and is fully compatible with CloudEngine 16800 and 12800 series switches, enabling enterprises to build scalable, simplified, open, and secure networks.
Deep Buffering
Easily handle burst traffic on the network with a 4 GB ultra-large buffer capability — 80 times higher than the industry average.
Intelligence
Significantly simplify operations with intelligent Operations and Maintenance (O&M), proactive reporting of Google Remote Procedure Call (gRPC) high-speed data, proactive detection of network-wide paths, and real-time monitoring of network health status.
Interoperability
Open capabilities allow the switches to interwork with multiple vendors as well as create leading Software-Defined Networking (SDN) networks, evidenced by the Best of ShowNet Award from Interop Tokyo 2016.
