What it is
Netris is a network automation, abstraction, and multi-tenancy platform for AI infrastructure operators, including neoclouds, sovereign cloud operators, and AI factories. It spans Ethernet, InfiniBand, NVLink, DPUs, virtual networks, and edge networks. The Netris Controller uses algorithms to configure VRFs, VXLANs, BGP, and other settings with closed-loop assurance. It runs in the customer environment on dedicated bare-metal hosts, with a minimum of three nodes. Engineers can use a web console, REST API, or Kubernetes integration; the controller also works with Terraform and documents an NVIDIA UFM integration for InfiniBand. That plugin can automate PKey configuration and optionally create SHARP reservations for server clusters. Netris documents tenant isolation through VRFs, VXLANs, ACLs, InfiniBand PKeys, and NVLink fabric partitions. API requests, including GUI activity, are logged. If the controller is unreachable, devices continue forwarding traffic and enforcing existing policies, while new changes and telemetry pause. Pricing is on request.

Plans and prices
Strong points and limits
Strong points
- Covers Ethernet, InfiniBand, NVLink, DPU, and edge networking
- Automates VRF, VXLAN, and BGP configuration
- Provides web, REST API, and Kubernetes interfaces
- Supports hardware-enforced tenant isolation
- Devices keep existing policies when controller is unreachable
Limits
- Controller requires at least three dedicated bare-metal nodes
- New configuration pauses during controller outages
- Telemetry collection also pauses when unreachable
- Pricing requires contacting Netris Sales
Who it suits
Netris is aimed at AI infrastructure operators managing multi-tenant networks across specialized fabrics and platforms. It suits teams seeking centralized control through web, API, or Kubernetes interfaces.
Verdict
Netris centralizes automation and tenant controls across the network types used by AI infrastructure. Its three-node controller requirement and outage behavior are important operational constraints, while pricing is handled through sales.
