Features and benefits

The 7220 IXR for data center fabrics lets you combine high-scale interconnectivity with an open, extensible and resilient NOS and an operations toolkit that enables you to automate every phase of data center fabric operations.

High-capacity fixed-configuration platforms

The 7220 IXR provides high-performance, high-density, fixed configuration platforms designed for data center leaf-spine deployments.

These platforms give you:

Multiple chassis variants with system capacities up to 6.4 Tb/s
Support for 400GE, 100GE, 50GE, 40GE, 25GE, 10GE or 1GE port speeds
Hot swappable and redundant power supplies
Hot swappable and redundant fans

A modern, open NOS

The 7220 IXR implements our SR Linux NOS, a unique, ground-up architecture built around model-driven management and modern interfaces.

With SR Linux, you can:

Bring simplified operations and integrations, ultimate visibility and unmatched flexibility to your data centers
Evolve your data center networks with essential enhanced IP routing features such as MP-BGP, EVPN and VXLAN
Give your NetOps teams and application developers the confidence to fine tune and customize their data center platforms and NOS to meet their needs

Intent-based automation and operations

The 7220 IXR lets you use our Fabric Services System toolkit to support automation at scale for all phases of data center fabric operations, including Day 0 design, Day 1 deployment and Day 2+ operations.

With the Fabric Services System, you can:

Onboard application workloads faster by automating fabric designs and configurations, including EVPN
Manage the risk of change by using the Fabric Services System digital sandbox tool to emulate data center fabrics, application workloads and external Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) speakers
