At the same time, the switch will access another AmpCon-DC server component, the License Manager, which will access the customer’s account on the Pica8 License Portal to generate a license key and install the license on the switch.Finally, the switch runs a script to automatically reboot, apply and validate the new configuration, update its status in the configuration database, and join the network. From your perspective, all of this switch configuration happens with the touch of a button – as close to “zero-touch provisioning”. AmpCon-DC can help you to deploy dozens or hundreds of switches to far-flung sites while your network team stays at home and monitors the process centrally .
AmpCon-DC delivers cost savings that every C-level will appreciate. The reasons are as follows:
