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
