Dell Active Fabric Manager vs Netris

Dell Active Fabric Manager has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

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.
