Enterprise Data Center Networking Challenges
As cloud technology becomes more prevalent, organizations are finding it necessary to update their infrastructure, especially their data center networks. Traditional network management methods are struggling to keep up with the needs of today’s faster, more flexible business environments.
In this era, using cloud-native and DevOps approaches is standard. Depending on various factors, some applications are more suited to a public cloud environment, while others perform better on a private cloud operating on the company’s hardware.
Common issues of traditional networking include:
- Manual ticketing systems delay networking changes and hinder release velocity.
- Human-initiated misconfigurations increase the risk of network outages and vulnerabilities.
- Costly and time-consuming audits are required to ensure compliance.
- Hardware vendor lock-in. Their automation software only automates a small fraction of operations and has nothing in common with cloud methodologies while imposing strict hardware lock-in.
- Internal users (DevOps, Platform Engineers, Server guys) need the ability to self-service to unify the operations methodologies between the public cloud and the on-prem data center (Hybrid Cloud approach)
Netris software brings cloud-like automation and abstractions to your enterprise data center network. Making your network highly automated, hardware vendor-independent, easy, and agile to consume.
Streamline your Network operations using Netris's advanced cloud-like VPC abstraction software.
Netris enables enterprises to replicate the cloud networking experience while utilizing cost-effective hardware from various vendors and harnessing the power of trusted open-source infrastructure software.
Netris offers capabilities akin to the proprietary systems used by leading cloud providers but accessible to every organization. With Netris, you can build dynamic, cost-effective, and scalable networks using hardware and software strategies once exclusive to large-scale cloud operators.
Large and mid-size enterprises love Netris because Netris transforms their Network engineers into NetOps heroes, facilitating a cloud-like environment for their DevOps, Server, and Platform Engineering teams.
Netris automatic configuration algorithms eliminate human error. Netris’ approach helps improve network infrastructure CapEx (up to 20x) and OpEx (up to 10x) while bringing cloud-like agility, reducing daily change request implementation times from days to minutes.

Streamline Network Infrastructure using
Cloud-like VPC abstraction software
Experience Cloud-like Agility, Scalability, and Stability on Your Hardware
Netris seamlessly automates every aspect of operations for your enterprise data center network – from switch-fabric to network services and host networking. Network engineers, DevOps, and all other engineering teams can manage the Netris VPC abstraction through an intuitive cloud-like web console, API, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
Netris brings the upsides of proprietary cloud networking operations, typically found in major cloud providers, right to your infrastructure – democratizing cloud networking technology.
- Network Engineers lay the groundwork by setting the foundational rules, and Netris’s built-in algorithms take over, automating configurations just like cloud services do.
- This level of automation empowers DevOps and other engineers with a self-service portal, eliminating the cumbersome and error-prone ticket-based processes.
- This innovative approach significantly reduces the time for implementing change requests (from days or weeks to just 1 minute) and virtually eliminates human error (reducing it from 80% to 0%).
Optimize and Control Hardware Costs
Unlike conventional switch-fabric management tools, Netris is a cloud-like network abstraction software that adds drastically more value across your entire network stack, not just at the switch level.
- Switch-fabric: Of course, we support multiple platforms (and expanding). The significant difference is that with Netris, various vendor switches become equal self-operating boxes. You don’t need to learn this or that vendor’s best practices or configuration techniques. It’s a superpower that allows you to secure the best hardware deals. (Up to 60% more cost-efficient compared to usual suspects).
- Network Services: Netris SoftGate, our popular cloud gateway, enables you to leverage regular servers, SmartNICs, and cloud-grade open-source software to deliver the essential network services: Border Router, Load Balancer, NAT gateway, VPN Gateway, Firewall, and others. This highly scalable approach is 90% more cost-efficient than traditional routers and firewalls (from typical hardware vendors)
- Hybrid Multi-Cloud: Beyond enhancing your data center, Netris streamlines interconnectivity between various private and public cloud regions, supporting hybrid cloud infrastructure management strategies.
Simplify Host and Compute Platform Networking
Netris stands out with its rich ecosystem of native integrations, reminiscent of NSX-t but without platform lock-in, offering a truly cloud-like experience.
- Server Integration: We bring server name and metadata awareness to the Netris controller, integrating with various server provisioning platforms and treating servers as first-class objects in your network. Whether you use Vmware, Harvester, Openstack, Proxmox, bare metal, or anything else – you can easily assign servers to VPC, Subnet, and virtual network services.
- Kubernetes Integration: Our Kubernetes operator supports all distributions of this popular container platform. All CNIs are welcome, while native integrations for some CNIs deliver advanced functionalities for specialized and large-scale use cases.
- Server Virtualization: While our customers widely use all server virtualization platforms, Netris plans deeper integrations with select platforms: VMware, Proxmox, and Harvester (by Q4 2024.)
Netris is not traditional orchestrator or automation tool; it's a cloud-networking game-changer for your network infrastructure, aligning you and your organization with the modern demands of cloud computing.
Testimonials
Netris's offering speeds Equinix Metal customers' deployment and management of a global network, which in turn unleashes the real power of Equinix's global reach, dense interconnection ecosystem, and hyperscale cloud adjacency.
Moving from highly consumerized AWS to bare metal, we faced too many moving pieces that we needed to factor in, such as load balancing, firewalling, routing, DHCP, VPN, and high availability. We've tried various solutions, but Netris was the one that enabled us to simplify and abstract away the Networking concern. Netris software and professional services have alleviated a tremendous amount of risk and guesswork related to Network Infrastructure. So our team could entirely focus on our core business - our SaaS product.
We needed EVPN/VXLAN as a scalable foundation for the network. We chose Nvidia Spectrum switches for the best quality/price/performance ratio. We also required Firewalling, Routing, Load Balancing, VPN, NAT, and DHCP. Netris VPC ideally matched our requirements for the comprehensive operation of all aspects of our network.
Netris empowered our early engineering team to launch and operate our cloud infrastructure on our own hardware. We have expanded to three data centers in less than a year, keeping up with the exponential growth of our customer base.
"With Netris we don’t need to worry about deep implementation details -- now we are able to apply a top down approach to our network policies and services, we are able to treat our switches like cattle not pets. Such approach enables us to dynamically repurpose every part of the network and serve our SRE and DevOps teams with the cloud-like experience."
"With Netris automatically running the network, our users and developers now are able to fully focus on applications and services of the Alef Edge cloud"
"With the help from cutting edge hardware partners such as NVIDIA, and network operations innovator Netris, we are deploying infrastructure quickly and with minimal investment."
"Netris allowed us to refresh our ISP network into a cloud-like flexible platform. Now we are empowered to provide the best Internet, TV, and Phone services for our customers based in Los Angeles and grow our network faster."
