AmpCon-DC SDN Controller is designed for PicOS® data center switches, offering automated Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), real-time telemetry monitoring, topology auto-discovery, and automated lifecycle management. Deployed as a software appliance on a virtual machine (VM) or Docker, AmpCon-DC operates seamlessly in data center or cloud environments.
With an intuitive web-based UI, AmpCon-DC automates routine workflows, eliminating costly downtime and time-consuming manual tasks. By using AmpCon-DC to manage switches, you can efficiently deploy, orchestrate, and manage High Performance Computing (HPC) and data center networks at scale.
How AmpCon-DC Can Help
AmpCon-DC is highly scalable and includes only the features that you truly need. You can use it to build small, medium, and large data center networks.
Automate switch configurations and provide unified switch management
AmpCon-DC helps you to configure, monitor, and manage switches in data centers. By using AmpCon-DC, you can maintain the High-Performance Network (HPN) architecture more efficiently, prevent and eliminate issues, and thus increase the resource utilization rate and decrease the operation costs.
Improve the efficiency of switch deployment by using ZTP
AmpCon-DC supports using ZTP to automatically deploy switches in a data center.
Provide telemetry for real-time network monitoring
AmpCon-DC supports telemetry to capture rich information about real-time network telemetry information, application workload usage, and system configurations.
Provide automatic discovery of topology for visual switch management
AmpCon-DC supports automatic discovery of topology to provide the network view of switches in all locations. You can simplify the network management by checking switch stats and port-level running status.
Automate daily operation tasks by using Ansible playbooks
AmpCon-DC supports using Ansible playbooks to automate daily network operations and decrease the operation cost.
Deliver multiple deployment solutions
AmpCon-DC provides multiple deployment solutions, including Docker, KVM, VMware, and Nutanix AHV.
Support deploying, configuring, and managing remote switches at scale
AmpCon-DC makes it easy to deploy, configure, and manage a large number of remote switches. You can use AmpCon-DC to deploy, configure, or manage switches at scale.
