The Challenge

The shift to dynamic infrastructure, driven by cloud adoption, has forced organizations to reconsider all aspects of their infrastructure operations and consumption, including off-cloud deployments. 

Traditional compute, storage, and network operations processes do not meet private or public cloud platform requirements. Common issues include:

Manual

The traditional network management plane has little to no abstraction. It is designed for operation by network engineers, fulfilling user requests through ticketing systems. Each request takes days to weeks to implement -- while in a cloud system, user requests come through an API and must be implemented in less than a minute.

Slow

The fundamental lack of a higher level of abstraction negates the concept of immediate, consistent, and guaranteed cloud-like provisioning of infrastructure resources required.

Disconnect

Disconnect between Compute and Network platforms. Application and Compute platforms have no control/feedback over the network resources through an API, thus requiring a human in the middle of systems.

Even with advanced homegrown automation built on top of the traditional network operations model, it is time-consuming, error-prone, and prohibitively complex.

Netris + MetalSoft solution

Purpose-built software for providing and operating private and public cloud services.

Netris Software

Netris software enables cloud-like VPC networking for any environment. Netris software not only abstracts away switch-fabric operation but also has a DPDK/SmartNIC accelerated VPC gateway. Netris software delivers cloud-like networking services utilizing your regular servers and switches from various vendors.

MetalSoft Software

MetalSoft software provides two other essential abstractions: Compute and Storage. MetalSoft automatically provisions the right operating system on bare metal servers, provisions and operates storage systems, and interconnects the compute and storage with the proper VPCs using Netris API integration.
