Intelligent Collaboration

 Huawei CloudEngine S8700 series switches ("CloudEngine S8700") are next-generation modular aggregation/access switches  ideal for premium campus networks in the Wi-Fi 6 era. They are available in three models — CloudEngine S8700-4 with 4 slots,  S8700-6 with 6 slots and CloudEngine S8700-10 with 10 slots — and come with ultra-high densities of GE, 10GE, 25GE, 40GE,  and 100GE access ports, helping quickly build a future-proof campus network with simplified architecture 

 CloudEngine S8700 offers customers a trusted system and secure data access. All key components of CloudEngine S8700,  including the main control boards, power modules, and fan modules, adopt a redundancy design for carrier-grade reliability. 

 With all these traits, CloudEngine S8700 is an ideal choice of aggregation/access nodes needed to build future-proof cloud  campus networks, helping customers achieve their digital transformation goals 

 Highlights of CloudEngine S8700 include: 

•  High-density access: Up to 48 multi-GE ports per board and 384 multi-GE ports per chassis — which are 10GE capable  — facilitate unified access for high densities of terminals
•  Ultra-high reliability: Redundancy design for key components ensures carrier-grade reliability. The dual-active detection  (DAD) mechanism for the two main control boards automatically switches over services upon detecting a fault in any main  control board, ensuring service continuity 
•  Super power over Ethernet (PoE): Innovative optical-electrical synergy technology supports PoE power supply at ultra-long distances. Up to 90 W PoE++ on a single port supplies power to APs, IP phones, and other high-power terminals. 
•  Energy saving: Innovative "Y + Psi (ψ)"-type front-to-rear air duct design for heat dissipation and mixed-flow fan technology  deliver low power consumption, low noise, strong heat dissipation, and energy saving  

FEATURES AND HIGHLIGHTS

Switch Highlights

Fully Programmable Architecture

•  By integrating WLAN AC capabilities, CloudEngine S12700E eliminates the need to purchase additional WLAN AC  hardware. Each CloudEngine S12700E can manage up to 10,240 APs. With up to 4 Tbps WLAN AC forwarding capacity,  CloudEngine S12700E avoids the performance bottleneck on independent WLAN AC devices. As such, organizations are well  poised to cope with challenges in the high-speed wireless era. 

Wired And Wireless Convergence

•  By integrating WLAN AC capabilities, CloudEngine S12700E eliminates the need to purchase additional WLAN AC  hardware. Each CloudEngine S12700E can manage up to 10,240 APs. With up to 4 Tbps WLAN AC forwarding capacity,  CloudEngine S12700E avoids the performance bottleneck on independent WLAN AC devices. As such, organizations are well  poised to cope with challenges in the high-speed wireless era. 

Service Expirence Assurance

•  CloudEngine S12700E supports a 4 GB buffer to cope with the burst data traffic pressure caused by massive concurrent  users. This alleviates the data packet loss and even connection interruption caused by traffic burst. 

Solutions benefits

Simplified Managment

•  Deployment automation: CloudEngine S12700E supports VXLAN and BGP-EVPN, and builds a Unified Virtual Fabric  (UVF) to automate deployment of up to 512 Virtual Networks (VNs). In this way, multiple service networks or tenant networks  can be deployed and isolated from each other on the same physical network, truly achieving one network for multiple purposes. 

Intellegent O&M

•  CloudEngine S12700E provides telemetry technology to collect device data in real time and send the data to the  CampusInsight (a campus network analysis component of Huawei iMaster NCE). The CampusInsight then analyzes network  data based on the intelligent fault identification algorithm, accurately displays the real-time network status, effectively  demarcates and locates faults in a timely manner, and identifies network problems that affect user experience, accurately  guaranteeing user experiences 

Big Data Security Collaboration

•   CloudEngine S12700E uses NetStream to collect campus network data and then report such data to the Huawei HiSec  Insight. The purposes of doing so are to detect network security threats, display the security posture across the entire network,  and enable automated or manual response to security threats. The HiSec Insight delivers the security policies to the iMaster  NCE-Campus(or Agile Controller). The iMaster NCE-Campus(or Agile Controller) then delivers such policies to switches that will  handle security events accordingly. All these ensure campus network security.
