Huawei CE6863E-48S6CQ Data Centre Switch with 48x25GE and 6x100GE Ports

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6863E-48S6CQ is a high-performance 25GE/100GE data center switch designed for enterprise cloud networks, large-scale virtualization environments, and modern spine-leaf architectures. It is built as part of the Huawei CloudEngine CE6800 Series. This switch delivers high-density 25 Gigabit Ethernet access with integrated 100GE uplink connectivity. Therefore, it is ideal for scalable data center deployments.

The Huawei CE6863E-48S6CQ provides 48 x 25GE SFP28 ports and 6 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports. This enables high-bandwidth server access and low-latency aggregation within enterprise and cloud data center infrastructures. The platform is optimized for Top-of-Rack (ToR) deployment. Moreover, it supports high-performance east-west traffic forwarding required by virtualization, distributed storage, AI workloads, and large-scale compute clusters.

Designed for next-generation data center fabrics, the switch supports advanced networking technologies including VXLAN, EVPN, Data Center Bridging (DCB), and large Layer 2/Layer 3 networking capabilities. The CE6863E-48S6CQ is suitable for spine-leaf fabrics, cloud computing environments, enterprise data centers, and high-density server aggregation deployments.

The switch architecture supports high availability through redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules. This helps maintain operational continuity in mission-critical environments. Huawei’s CloudEngine platform also provides intelligent traffic management, automated operations support, and scalable network virtualization capabilities for modern software-defined data center networks.
