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.
Our comprehensive data center switch portfolio can help you implement back-end and front-end networks that meet the demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and traditional workloads. The 7215 IXS platforms support the best-in-class Nokia SR Linux network operating system (NOS) and are managed by the Nokia Event-Driven Automation (EDA) platform. If you prefer an open-source NOS for your deployments; you may choose to implement community SONiC on the 7215 IXS platforms.
