Huawei CE6865E-48S8CQ-B Data Center Switch

Description

The Huawei CE6865E-48S8CQ-B is a high-performance fixed-configuration data center switch from the Huawei CloudEngine 6800E series, designed for leaf/spine architectures in enterprise and cloud data centers requiring high-density 10GE/25GE access and 100GE uplinks.

It provides 48 × SFP28 ports (supporting 10GE/25GE depending on optics) and 8 × QSFP28 100GE uplink ports, enabling flexible high-bandwidth connectivity for server access and spine aggregation in modern cloud infrastructures.

This model is optimized for next-generation data centers, cloud computing environments, and virtualization-heavy workloads, where low latency, high throughput, and scalability are critical.

It is typically deployed in:

• Data center leaf (ToR) switching layers
• Aggregation/spine interconnect networks
• Enterprise private cloud infrastructure
• Virtualized and containerized computing environments

The CE6865E-48S8CQ-B supports advanced data center technologies including:

• VXLAN for network virtualization
• EVPN (software dependent)
• M-LAG for active-active redundancy
• BFD for fast fault detection
• Advanced QoS and traffic engineering

From a hardware perspective:

• 1U high-density chassis design
• Dual power supply slots with 1+1 redundancy
• Hot-swappable fan modules for continuous operation
• Front-to-back airflow optimized for data center racks

Key performance characteristics:

• High-density 10GE/25GE server access switching
• High-speed 100GE uplinks for spine connectivity
• Non-blocking architecture optimized for cloud-scale traffic patterns

The CE6865E-48S8CQ-B is widely used in enterprise data centers, cloud service providers, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments, supporting scalable and resilient network fabric designs.
