FS Launches AmpCon™-DC and AmpCon™-Campus: Enhancing Efficiency in Data Center and Campus Management

FS OfficialUpdated at Dec 18th 20241 min read

Palo Alto, California – December 17, 2024 – FS, a trusted provider of ICT products and solutions, launched the new AmpCon™-DC and AmpCon™-Campus Management Platforms. Equipped with cutting-edge features like ZTP (Zero-Touch Provisioning), topology auto-discovery, and real-time telemetry monitoring, these innovative solutions are designed to simplify and streamline operations for PicOS® data centers and campus networks. By leveraging automated configuration and unified management, the platforms enable faster deployments and deliver unprecedented operational efficiency.
In modern enterprise network management, challenges such as frequently switching management software, complex configurations, and delayed monitoring have become common issues. As data centers and campus networks scale up, the complexity of management increases as well. To better address these challenges, FS has upgraded its existing AmpCon™ platform by introducing AmpCon™-DC for data center network management and AmpCon™-Campus for campus network management. These tailored solutions offer a unified hardware and software platform, automated configuration, and lifecycle management to help businesses simplify network management, improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and drive intelligent, automated network management.
Key Features include:
Automated Configuration and Unified Management
:
The platforms enable efficiently provision, monitor, manage, and preventively troubleshoot and maintain the high-performance networking to realize higher utilization of fabric resources and gain a competitive advantage, while reducing opex.
Zero-Touch Provisioning
:
Supporting ZTP for automated onboarding and management of unconfigured devices in large-scale data center deployments and upgrades, along with push-button deployment for simple and quick setup of small networks.
Real-time Telemetry Monitoring
: Telemetry offers tools to monitor network performance, capturing and streaming real-time network data, application usage, and system configurations to a database for analysis.
Topology Automated Identification and Visualization
: Supporting topology auto-discovery, offering a network view of all locations for checking switch stats and health down to the port level, simplifying network management.
Powerful, Agentless Automation with Ansible
:
Providing common features for daily network operations and supports custom workflows using Ansible playbooks for scheduled tasks and easy-to-read reports.
To Manage PicOS-V Switches
: When integrated with
