Huawei CloudEngine XH8000 Series Full English Product Description
Variants:‑B (port‑side intake airflow),‑F (port‑side exhaust airflow). Typical models: XH8230‑128DQ, XH8320‑64EO
Product Overview
Huawei CloudEngine XH8000 series are next‑generation high‑density AI‑optimized top‑of‑rack (ToR) access switches for modern hyperscale data centers. Built on advanced high‑performance switching ASIC, the XH8000 delivers high‑density 200GE/400GE/800GE port capacity, supporting flexible multi‑rate auto‑negotiation and port breakout. Running on Huawei VRP8 operating system, these switches serve as AI‑compute leaf nodes and can interoperate with CloudEngine XH16800 / XH9000 spine chassis to build end‑to‑end 100GE‑800GE spine‑leaf fabrics for AI training, HPC, cloud and storage workloads. They also apply as high‑end aggregation switches for large campus networks.
