Unleashing High Computing Power in the AI Era
CloudEngine XH16800 Series Data Center Switches
The CloudEngine XH16800 series are data center core switches designed specifically for AI scenarios. They offer high computing efficiency and computing availability. In terms of computing efficiency, they support network-scale load balancing (NSLB), fully harnessing the computing power of AI clusters. Regarding computing availability, features like exclusive iFlashboot and optical module channel loss resistance ensure uninterrupted month-level AI training. This switch series employ an advanced hardware architecture, featuring an industry-leading backplane-free Clos orthogonal design, industrial-grade reliability, a strict front-to-back airflow system, and a wealth of data center capabilities.
High computing power efficiency: high throughput, performance acceleration
High computing power availability: monthly training without interruption
