About the Huawei CloudEngine 8850-64Q-EI Core Data Center Switch

The Huawei CloudEngine 8850-64Q-EI is a high-density core data center switch designed for spine-layer deployments in hyperscale and carrier-grade infrastructure. Equipped with 64 ports of 100GE connectivity, this switch delivers 12.8 Tbps aggregate throughput and supports both traditional and cloud-native network architectures with intelligent packet processing and QoS capabilities.

Built on Huawei's CloudEngine architecture, the 8850-64Q-EI incorporates distributed forwarding and modular design principles to ensure non-blocking performance across all ports. The platform supports advanced features including VXLAN, EVPN, segment routing, and traffic engineering, enabling operators to construct scalable, resilient multi-tier data center fabrics with reduced operational complexity.

This switch targets sovereign cloud platforms, telecommunications backbone networks, and large-scale data center operators requiring deterministic, high-performance core switching with comprehensive network programmability and vendor ecosystem integration capabilities.

Ideal for

  • Core spine switching in multi-tier hyperscale data center fabric architectures
  • Carrier-grade backbone switching for telecommunications cloud and edge infrastructure
  • Sovereign cloud platform core switching with EVPN/VXLAN overlay networks
  • High-bandwidth interconnect for AI/ML compute clusters requiring east-west optimization
  • Content delivery network (CDN) and video streaming platform backbone switching
  • Disaggregated network deployments supporting open networking and white-box integration
