About Pica8 AmpCon

Enterprise campus, distributed sites, and data center networks are replacing thousands of Cisco Catalyst switches with PicOS Software Switches on hardware provided by Dell and Edgecore. Through a single GUI, Pica8’s AmpCon™ Network Controller centrally manages and automates switch deployments as an alternative to Cisco DNA Center. Customers secure an increase in freedom and reduction in expense that every C-level executive will appreciate. Pica8’s AmpCon is a network controller that manages the lifecycle of any number of open network switches in enterprise campus and branch/retail office access networks. AmpCon comprises a set of server-based tools that enable enterprises to remotely install, configure and provision hundreds, or thousands, of PicOS Software, Switches deployed on white box switch hardware. It is the first network controller that leverages both advanced proprietary and open technology allowing network operators to run their networking software with full visibility.
