- Description
Description
The Huawei CE8851-32CQ8DQ-PB is a high-performance fixed-configuration data center switch from the Huawei CloudEngine 8800 series, designed for high-density leaf/spine architectures in modern cloud and enterprise data center environments.
It delivers 32 × 100GE QSFP28 ports (or 32 × 200GE QSFP56 depending on configuration) and 8 × 400GE QSFP-DD uplink ports, enabling extremely high bandwidth aggregation and spine-layer connectivity in large-scale data center fabrics.
This switch is engineered for next-generation cloud computing, AI workloads, and hyperscale data center networks, where ultra-low latency and high throughput are required.
It is typically deployed in:
- Data center leaf/spine architectures
- Cloud infrastructure networks
- High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
- Enterprise core aggregation layers
The CE8851-32CQ8DQ-PB supports advanced data center networking technologies including:
- VXLAN for network virtualization
- EVPN (software dependent)
- M-LAG / LACP for high availability
- Hardware-based BFD for fast failure detection
- Advanced QoS and traffic engineering
From a hardware perspective:
- 1U high-density chassis design
- Dual AC power supply modules with 1+1 redundancy
- High-performance fan system with front-to-back airflow
- Designed for rack-scale data center deployment
Key performance highlights:
- Switching capacity: ~19.2 Tbps
- Forwarding performance: ~4.35 Bpps (billion packets per second)
- Low-latency architecture optimized for cloud workloads
Overall, the CE8851-32CQ8DQ-PB is a carrier-grade, ultra-high-speed data center switch built for modern 100G/400G network fabrics, supporting scalable and resilient cloud architectures.
