Product Overview
Huawei CloudEngine CE9855T‑32DQ is a 1U fixed‑port high‑temperature‑tolerant spine/aggregation switch of CloudEngine 9800 series, designed for hyperscale AI compute clusters, high‑performance computing and NVMe‑oF distributed storage deployments with elevated cabinet temperature. It provides32×400GE QSFP‑DD high‑speed service ports plus 2×10GE SFP+ extension ports, supporting multi‑rate auto‑negotiation and flexible port breakout. It delivers 25.6 Tbps non‑blocking switching capacity and 8000 Mpps line‑rate L2/L3 forwarding performance with large‑capacity shared packet buffer (130 MB). 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 widely deployed as high‑speed spine node in spine‑leaf architecture or high‑end aggregation switch for large‑scale DC networks with high ambient temperature.
