The future enterprise campus will be IoT centric with virtualization connecting the entire campus seamlessly together. Pica8’s enterprise software on top of Edgecore’s networking platforms together provide a wide portfolio of easy-to-use, hardened, and comprehensive networking solutions for the enterprise and data center markets.
Pica8 will join Edgecore to discuss how its enterprise software suite, including the AmpCon Network Controller and PicOS Software, combine with Edgecore’s enterprise switch platforms to deliver automation, security, virtualization, and analytics for customers building next-generation campus networks.
Pica8 and Edgecore Networks Collaboration
Pica8 and Edgecore collaborate to successfully deliver customer solutions and will be discussing some details of these solutions during this webinar. Amongst recent successes, Gulf Medical stands out as a great example of how Pica8 and Edgecore products can be combined to provide a cost-effective networking solution to displace more cumbersome and problematic products from other major vendors.
Gulf Medical is a medical equipment and solutions distributor, headquartered in Saudi Arabia. Having outgrown a Cumulus Linux installation, Gulf Medical was looking for a drop-in replacement that would solve performance issues that had developed over time, as well as connect and integrate with video phones, cameras, access points, and IoT devices that send data to be collected. Pica8’s PicOS software on Edgecore PoE switch hardware solved these issues, as well as setting the proper environment for future upgrades.
“In the future, Gulf Medical plans to continue working with Pica8 and Edgecore to integrate with Pica8’s AmpCon Network Controller for push-button automation and zero-touch provisioning,” said Mokhtar Attiya, Information Technology Manager at Gulf Medical. “We plan to leverage Pica8’s Ansible Playbooks to customize automation.”
“Edgecore is always looking for leading-edge application vendors to partner with, and Pica8’s software expertise and time in the market makes them a great resource to service the advanced network market,” said Nanda Ravindran, Vice President of Product Management for Edgecore Networks. “Edgecore and Pica8’s commitment to open networking will be important as we continue to redefine scale in the new era of computing and networking.”
“Pica8, as a pioneer of disaggregated networking software, is in a unique position to enable next-generation IoT devices and applications,” said Kelly LeBlanc, Chief Marketing Officer for Pica8. “Teaming up with Edgecore Networks allows us to provide a single step, turn-key networking solution for any size enterprise networking application.”
