CS16800 Series Cloud Stone Core Layer Routing Switch

DCN CS16809 is core chassis switch designed to meet the requirement of mission-critical network with high performance, exceptional availability and outstanding scalability. The CS16809 serves campus and data center networking requirements, supports flexible network policy deployment, and builds business defined tailored network for users

Features and Highlights

CLOS Non-blocking Architecture

CS16809 deploys the advanced CLOS multi-plane, multi-stage switching architecture, which achieves complete separation of the forwarding and control planes. With independent fabric engines and control engines, the switching architecture ensures all ports are running at full line rate in a non-blocking manner. The solution continues to strengthen the bandwidth upgrade and business supporting capacities.

Adaptive Campus & IDC network

The Campus network prefers traditional 3-Layer Infrastructure, to connect PC, mobile device, with ‘smaller layer 2 but bigger layer 3’ hardware tables, like IPv6 routing and MPLS tables. But IDC network often prefers 2-Layer Infrastructure, to connect server, storage. It needs ‘bigger layer 2 but smaller layer 3’ hardware tables. CS16809 supports assigning table resources dynamically, with abundant datacenter features, to meet both requirements from Campus and IDC Infrastructure.

Adaptive Traditional business & SDN business network

CS16809 supports OpenFlow1.3 for the SDN network (Software Defined Network), which can make the upgrade smoothly from the traditional network to the SDN network, to reduce the TCO.

14U Compact design

With a 14U compact design, 3 pieces of CS16809 can be installed in one cabinet, delivering a maximum of 432 40GE ports or a maximum of 1296 10GE ports, which makes the highest port density in the industry.

Three separate planes (management, control, and switching)

CS 16809 has three separate planes: management plane, control plane, and switching the plane for system robust and high availability. If one of them crashed, it won’t impact other businesses.

Dual Power Supply Planes

CS16809 adopts A+B Dual Planes of Power Supply, supporting 1+1 redundancy and N+N redundancy in one single Power Supply.
