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.

Description

The unique PICOS open NOS, equipped with closely integrated control planes, provides network operators with precise and non-intrusive oversight of their enterprise applications, allowing for extensive and adaptable traffic analysis and real-time attack prevention. For achieving zero-trust networking and establishing software-defined perimeters, PICOS stands out as the optimal solution. Our premier open network operating system is compatible with open switches ranging from 1G to 100G interfaces, sourced from a diverse selection of Tier 1 manufacturers. This comprehensive licensing package delivers unparalleled support for enterprise functionalities available in the market. It incorporates the Debian Linux distribution, featuring an unchanged kernel to enhance DevOps programmability to its fullest extent. Furthermore, the Enterprise Edition is enhanced by AmpCon, an automation framework based on Ansible, which integrates Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), streamlining the deployment and management of open network switches throughout the enterprise. With such advanced capabilities, organizations can ensure their networks are not only efficient but also secure against evolving threats.
