Headquartered in Philadelphia, with offices in San Francisco Bay Area, Singapore, and India, Gencore Systems is a spinoff from the Computer and Information Science department at University of Pennsylvania - specifically from the NetDB@Penn research group that is focused on development of new programming tools and analysis for designing, implementing, and securing large-scale distributed systems. Gencore offers a suite of Software Defined Network (SDN) applications in traffic analysis, network optimizations, and network security. These apps leverage the SDN architecture to deliver higher effectiveness yet easier to deploy and manage for enterprises, service providers and telcos that operate networks and data centers. The SDN apps provide enhanced networking capabilities that significantly reduce their costs, reduce time to service/revenue, and improve service quality to meet new levels of business requirements.
