Product Overview
Huawei CloudEngine CE9865T‑4C is a 4U thermal‑enhanced modular spine/core switch of CloudEngine 9800 series, designed for hyperscale AI compute fabrics, large‑scale HPC clusters and high‑reliability financial core networks with high cabinet ambient temperature. It provides four hot‑swappable full‑width service subcard slots for flexible line‑card deployment, supporting maximum port density of32×400GE QSFP‑DD or 128×100GE QSFP28 line‑rate portsover non‑blocking switching fabric. Powered by Huawei VRP8 operating system, it delivers 102.4 Tbps switching capacity and 21 000 Mpps L2/L3 forwarding performance. The upgraded thermal design enables stable operation under higher inlet‑air temperature. It supports iStack stacking, M‑LAG multi‑chassis link‑aggregation, hardware‑accelerated BGP‑EVPN VXLAN, RoCE‑v2 lossless Ethernet, iLossless / AI‑ECN intelligent congestion control, MACsec encryption and comprehensive real‑time telemetry O&M. It serves as spine, core or high‑end aggregation node for ultra‑large‑scale data‑center and campus backbone networks.
