Pica8 PICOS

Innovative Open Networking OS for Enterprise and Campus Networks
PICOS is a holistic network operating system designed for enterprises of all sizes, enabling non-disruptive control, deep and dynamic traffic monitoring, and attack mitigation in real time. It runs on white box switches as well as on legacy hardware, increasing performance and reliability, scalability, agility and security of the network environment, while reducing acquisition cost and operational expenses. PICOS® comes in two versions (PICOS® Enterprise Edition and PICOS® SDN Edition) and features valuable add-ons, such as PicaPilot™, CrossFlow™ and Nymble™, to enable simplified and accelerated deployment, expansion, management and automation across the complete infrastructure.

Why Choose Pica8 PICOS

One-of-a-kind Open Networking OS, leveraging full control and efficiency of disaggregated white box networks

Disaggregation and Customization
PICOS Enterprise enables a simplified deployment and operation of a leaf-spine architecture across the complete network infrastructure. It brings ease of use, innovation and business agility to various market segments, avoiding vendor lock-in

Programmability and Analytics
PICOS SDN includes an unmodified kernel for maximum programmability. It also offers support for all major OpenFlow controllers. OpenFlow 1.5’s User-Defined Fields allow PICOS SDN to look deep into the packets for real-time analytics, security and remediation

Automation and Orchestration
The automation framework Nymble™ enables operators to automate tasks including switch software configuration, licensing, and performing health checks even without programming skills. PicaPilot provides virtually unlimited network expansion capability and flexibility

Security and Network Control
CrossFlow controls media servers and switching networks via a centralized OpenFlow-based control plane. It enables updates in real time while remaining in operation, and performs security operations such as monitoring, error detection and performance optimization
