Description

BlueCat Gateway provides a flexible automation layer that unifies DNS operations and integrates seamlessly with the broader Integrity platform. Its Python-based framework gives NetOps, CloudOps, and DevOps teams the freedom to automate everything from routine provisioning to highly complex workflows. Gateway connects easily to platforms like ServiceNow, enabling compliant self-service IP provisioning based on predefined logic and organizational policies. Through Terraform integration and a broad catalog of applications, teams can deeply customize their environments without being locked into proprietary tools. The platform’s intuitive UI allows authorized users to build, edit, and reuse automation workflows quickly, accelerating iteration while reducing operational overhead. Gateway enhances visibility by synchronizing cloud-based resources and providing detailed logs, reports, and health metrics. Its adaptive ecosystem—including open-source scripts from the BlueCat Labs GitHub—gives organizations endless customization potential. Altogether, Gateway empowers IT teams to automate faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver consistent network services across distributed environments.

Description

Enterprise campus networks, remote sites, and data center infrastructures are transitioning from numerous Cisco Catalyst switches to PicOS Software Switches, utilizing hardware from Dell and Edgecore. Pica8’s AmpCon™ Network Controller streamlines and automates switch deployments via a unified graphical user interface, serving as an alternative to Cisco DNA Center. This transition not only enhances operational freedom but also reduces costs, a benefit that resonates with every executive at the C-level. As a sophisticated network controller, AmpCon oversees the lifecycle of countless open network switches within enterprise campuses and branch or retail office access networks. The platform consists of a suite of server-based tools that empower organizations to remotely install, configure, and provision hundreds or even thousands of PicOS Software Switches on white box hardware. Furthermore, AmpCon stands out as the first solution to integrate both advanced proprietary and open technologies, granting network operators unprecedented visibility and control over their networking software. This innovative approach ensures enterprises can adapt to changing technological needs more efficiently than ever before.
