Description

The Huawei CE12808-AC is a high-end modular data center core switch chassis from the CloudEngine 12800 Series, designed for hyperscale cloud environments, enterprise core networks, and carrier-grade backbone infrastructures.

This model is a full AC power configuration chassis assembly, meaning it is designed to operate using alternating current (AC) power modules and AC power distribution units, typically deployed in standard enterprise and data center power environments.

The CE12808 platform is built on Huawei’s Clos-based distributed switching architecture, delivering ultra-high throughput, low-latency forwarding, and massive scalability for modern data center fabrics.

It supports full modular expansion with:

• Line Processing Units (LPUs)
• Management Processing Units (MPUs)
• Switching Fabric Units (SFUs)
• Control Management Units (CMUs)

This makes it suitable for spine and core-layer deployments in large-scale cloud and telecom networks.

It supports advanced networking technologies such as VXLAN, EVPN, SDN automation, and large-scale virtualization, enabling efficient multi-tenant segmentation and traffic engineering.

The chassis is engineered for mission-critical environments requiring high availability, redundancy, and continuous operation, making it ideal for hyperscale data centers and carrier infrastructures.

Key Features:

• Modular CloudEngine 12800 Series core chassis switch
• AC power configuration (AC power modules and distribution system)
• Clos-based distributed switching architecture
• Supports VXLAN and EVPN for cloud networking
• Scalable design with multiple LPU, MPU, SFU slots
• High availability with redundant control and power systems
• Designed for hyperscale data center and telecom backbone use
• Supports SDN automation and virtualization environments
