CloudEngine 1800V Series Data Center Switches
CloudEngine 1800V is a distributed virtual switch designed for virtualized environments in cloud data centers. It provides best-in-class forwarding performance, open architecture, and enhanced security protection. It can run on multiple compute virtualization platforms such as Huawei FusionSphere and open-source platforms.
High performance
12 Gbit/s per core, 20% higher than industry average, improving user experience
Openness and interoperability
Openflow and OVSDB protocols, interoperability with multiple virtualization platforms; service chain deployment based on IETF NSH
Value-added security protection
Value-added services and integrated distributed firewall to protect security on a per VM port basis
