The unanimous trust from customers and experts is attributed to the leading performance and numerous innovations of Huawei's flagship CloudEngine S12700E switch.

  • CloudEngine S12700E adopts an innovative architecture that separates the control plane from the switching plane. This allows bandwidth to be increased by simply upgrading the switch fabric unit (SFU). What's more, the CloudEngine S12700E reaches an all-time high switching capacity of 57.6 Tbps, six times the industry average(Tolly Test Report). This paves the way for the network evolution of large enterprise campuses over the next decade.
  • CloudEngine S12700E innovatively introduces a cell switching mechanism that achieves non-blocking, lossless data forwarding based on dynamic load balancing. This design efficiently resolves the congestion problem faced by conventional hash algorithm-based packet switching technologies, and in doing so ensures the service experience of network-wide users.
  • Designed with the industry-leading native wireless access controller (WAC) feature, CloudEngine S12700E implements wired and wireless convergence by managing a maximum of 10,240 wireless access points (APs) and supporting 50,000 concurrent users. It is the ideal core switch for fully-wireless campus networks in the Wi-Fi 6 era.

Up until now, Huawei CloudEngine S series campus switches have served more than 1500 campus network customers worldwide across sectors such as government, education, finance, energy, transportation, manufacturing, and retail, helping them achieve their digital transformation goals.
