Next generation 10 GE, 25 GE, and 50 GE switches.
CloudEngine 6800 Series Data Center Switches
CloudEngine 6800 series switches are next-generation, high-performance, high-density 10GE/25GE access switches designed for data centers and high-end campus networks. They support 100GE and 200GE uplink ports, offer a variety of rich data center features, and incorporate multiple innovative energy-saving technologies to significantly reduce power consumption.
High reliability
M-LAG for millisecond-level link switchover in case of faults.
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.
