7215 Interconnect System for data center fabric
Build reliable management network solutions for data centers
The Nokia 7215 Interconnect System (IXS) for data center fabrics provides reliable out-of-band management network solutions for data center servers, spine nodes and leaf nodes. This family of routers is powered by the Nokia SR Linux network operating system (NOS), which delivers a robust and comprehensive set of capabilities, including IP routing, layer 2 services, quality of service (QoS), telemetry and model-driven management.
Available in four variants, the Nokia 7215 IXS-A1 complements the Nokia 7220 Interconnect router (IXR) and 7250 IXR families used in the Nokia Data Center Fabric solution.
Benefits and features
The 7215 IXS platforms serve as top-of-rack (ToR) management switches. They are ideal for enterprises, cloud providers and telecom service providers seeking reliable out-of-band network infrastructure.
