The deployment will use a spine and leaf architecture, as with most modern datacenter deployments. The design deploys Nokia 7250-IXR routers (in the ten slot version) as high-density spines. Data center gateway routers will use the Nokia 7750-SR platform. The Nuage 210WBX platform will provide the leaf capability within the data centre. These are managed by the Nuage Virtualised Services platform (VCS) to deliver a software-defined data center environment. VCS automations and manages the virtual networks deployed across the datacentre, including , QoS policy and services. Virtualised Services Platform (VSP) integration supporting the SD- deployment links branch, cloud, and data center in a seamless SDN infrastructure.
