Netris
Netris is a network automation and multi-tenancy platform for AI infrastructure operators, including neoclouds, sovereign cloud operators, and AI factories.
What Netris is
Netris is a network automation and multi-tenancy platform for AI infrastructure operators, including neoclouds, sovereign cloud operators, and AI factories. Its controller coordinates Ethernet, InfiniBand, NVLink, DPU, virtual, and edge networking. Netris says its algorithms configure VRFs, VXLANs, BGP, and other settings with closed-loop assurance. The controller runs on dedicated bare-metal hosts in the customer’s environment and requires at least three nodes. Engineers can work through a web console, REST API, or Kubernetes integration; the system also connects with Terraform and documents an NVIDIA UFM integration for InfiniBand. That plugin can configure InfiniBand PKeys and optionally create SHARP reservations for server clusters. Netris documents hardware-enforced tenant separation and API request logging. If the controller is unreachable, network devices continue forwarding and applying existing policies, but configuration changes and telemetry collection pause. Pricing is on request. Supported platforms listed for version 4.16.0 include Cumulus Linux, Dell BCM-SONiC, Arista EOS, and Ubuntu 24.04 for SoftGate HS.
Good
- Covers Ethernet, InfiniBand, NVLink, DPU, virtual, and edge networking
- Offers web console, REST API, and Kubernetes integration
- Documents hardware-enforced tenant isolation
- Devices retain existing forwarding and policies during controller outages
Watch out
- Controller requires at least three dedicated bare-metal hosts
- New changes and telemetry pause if controller is unreachable
- Pricing is available on request
Who it suits
Netris suits AI infrastructure operators managing multi-tenant networks across specialized and conventional networking environments. Its on-premises controller and three-node minimum are relevant considerations for deployment.
Verdict
Netris combines network automation with tenant separation for AI infrastructure, with integrations and interfaces spanning several operating environments. Check the deployment requirements and request pricing before evaluating fit.
