CloudEngine S6730-H Series 10 GE Switches deliver 10 GE downlink and 100 GE uplink connectivity for enterprise campuses, carriers, higher education institutions, and governments, integrating native Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Access Controller (AC) capabilities, to support up to 1024 WLAN Access Points (APs).The series enables the convergence of wired and wireless networks — greatly simplifying operations — offering free mobility to deliver a consistent user experience and Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN)-based virtualization, creating a multi-purpose network. With built-in security probes, CloudEngine S6730-H supports abnormal traffic detection, Encrypted Communications Analytics (ECA), and network-wide threat deception.
Abundant Convergence
• This CloudEngine S6730-H series provides the integrated WLAN AC function that can manage 1,000 APs, reducing the costs of purchasing additional WLAN AC hardware. With this switch series, customers can stay ahead in the high-speed wireless era.
•The CloudEngine S6730-H series supports SVF and functions as a parent switch. With this virtualization technology, a physical network with the "Small-sized core and aggregation switches + Access switches + APs" structure can be virtualized into a "super switch", greatly simplifying network management.
•The CloudEngine S6730-H series provides excellent QoS capabilities and supports queue scheduling and congestion control algorithms. Additionally, it adopts innovative priority queuing and multi-level scheduling mechanisms to implement finegrained scheduling of data flows, meeting service quality requirements of different user terminals and services.
Providing Granular Network Management
• The CloudEngine S6730-H series uses the Packet Conservation Algorithm for Internet (iPCA) technology that alters the traditional method of using simulated traffic for fault location. iPCA technology can monitor network quality for any service flow anywhere, anytime, without extra costs. It can detect temporary service interruptions in a very short time and can identify faulty ports accurately. This cutting-edge fault detection technology turns "extensive management" to "granular management."
• The CloudEngine S6730-H supports Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) to accurately check any IP link and obtain the entire network's IP performance. This protocol eliminates the need of using a dedicated probe or a proprietary protocol
Cloud-based Management
The Huawei cloud management platform allows users to configure, monitor, and inspect switches on the cloud, reducing on-site deployment and O&M manpower costs and decreasing network OPEX. Huawei switches support both cloud management and on-premise management modes. These two management modes can be flexibly switched as required to achieve smooth evolution while maximizing return on investment (ROI).
