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.
