Product Overview
Huawei CloudEngine CE9855M‑32DQ is a 1U high‑performance large‑buffer fixed‑port spine/aggregation switch of CloudEngine 9800 series, built for hyperscale AI data‑center fabrics, high‑performance computing and NVMe‑oF distributed storage environments. It delivers32×400GE QSFP‑DD high‑speed service ports plus 2×10GE SFP+ extension ports, supporting multi‑rate auto‑negotiation and flexible port breakout. Equipped with enhanced huge packet‑buffer hardware architecture, it provides 25.6 Tbps non‑blocking switching capacity and 8000 Mpps line‑rate L2/L3 forwarding performance. It supports iStack stacking, M‑LAG multi‑chassis link‑aggregation, hardware‑accelerated BGP‑EVPN VXLAN, RoCE‑v2 lossless Ethernet, AI‑ECN intelligent congestion tuning, MACsec encryption and comprehensive intelligent telemetry O&M capabilities. It is mainly deployed as high‑speed spine node in spine‑leaf architecture or high‑end aggregation switch for large‑scale DC networks.
