What are Software-Defined Networking Solutions for Chef?

Software-defined networking solutions provide centralized software control of network operations by decoupling the control plane from the data-forwarding plane. These systems allow IT teams to program, automate, and optimize network behavior—such as routing, load balancing, segmentation and security—via APIs rather than manually configuring individual routers and switches. They improve visibility, flexibility and scalability and facilitate hybrid cloud, multi-cloud and dynamic application traffic demands. Many solutions support network services virtualization, policy-based provisioning and real-time analytics to respond faster to business changes. Ultimately, software-defined networking solutions empower organizations to run agile, software-driven networks that can adapt and evolve along with modern applications.

    Pica8 PICOS
    The one-of-a-kind PICOS open NOS with tightly coupled control planes gives network operators surgical, non-disruptive control of their enterprise applications, deep and dynamic traffic monitoring, and even attack mitigation, all in real time. There’s no better way to implement zero-trust networking and software-defined perimeters than PICOS. Our flagship open network operating system installs on 1G- to 100G-interface open switches from a broad array of Tier 1 manufacturers. This fully featured license offers the most comprehensive support for enterprise features on the market. It includes the Debian Linux distribution, with an unmodified kernel for maximum DevOps programmability. Enterprise Edition also includes AmpCon, an Ansible-based automation framework that couples Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) to simplify installation and operation of open network switches across the enterprise.
