SAN JOSE, Calif., October 16, 2023 – Micas Networks (Micas), an inventive open networking solutions provider, today kicked off its global channel program by signing a distribution agreement with EPS Global. A value-added distributor, EPS Global is known for its expertise in open and traditional networking solutions, supporting service providers across the Americas, EMEA and Asia.

Focused on delivering network technology that is agile, reliable and cost-effective, Micas delivers a full portfolio of open networking switches for edge, core and cloud deployments. The company’s open networking products include whitebox switches that are powered by the flexible and robust SONiC network operating system, enabling enhanced customization and scalability.

We have many synergies with EPS Global and will leverage their networking centric focus and their value-added software and services.”
The opportunity for open networking solutions is increasing every day. The need for high-speed connectivity and the growing adoption of cloud-based services, data center expansion and the escalated demands of AI/ML workloads is pushing networks to their limits.
Micas is rolling out a go-to-market strategy that aims to align with systems integrators and value-added resellers who are catering to the needs of their data center customers, providing robust, timely solutions and exceptional customer experiences.
