CloudEngine 9800 series switches are high-performance 400/100G Ethernet switches designed for data center networks, featuring high-density 400 GE or 100 GE ports and low latency. Compatible with a range of other CloudEngine series switches (CE 16800, 12800, 8800, 6800, and 5800), the CloudEngine 9800 series can be used to build an elastic, virtualized, high-quality fabric that meets the demanding requirements of cloud-computing data centers. Using an advanced hardware structure, the switches provide high-density 400 GE/100 GE/40 GE ports to support various data center features, and can function as core or aggregation switches on data center networks.
