"Everything is simple and automated. It's like having my own colocated hardware, but without any of the hassle. I needed low-latency access to a particular site in the Phoenix area. A staffer at PhoenixNAP helped me out with a few tests to confirm that I'd get the necessary latency. After that, I just created an account, selected the hardware I'd need, and off we went."

Review on G2.com

“The combination of bare metal machines configurable via cloud-init scripts and launched like VMs gave us an easy way to streamline the provisioning of our AI-focused infrastructure. With unique flexibility, freedom, and support, phoenixNAP empowered us to build a better-performing, future-proof IT solution at a fraction of the price of popular public cloud services.”

Dave Fiske, Sr. Founding Partner, SpyFu

“With Bare Metal Cloud, we were able to provision high-performance physical services in minutes across multiple geographic locations via simple calls to the API. We have the freedom to provision server instances that are optimized for compute or memory-intensive workloads.”

Matt Russel, Chief Cloud Officer, Namecheap

How It Works

How Netris on Bare Metal Cloud Works

A typical Netris-controlled environment consists of a Controller running at an on-prem, external, hybrid, or virtualized node and a redundant pair of automatic VPC gateway nodes called SoftGates. Bare Metal Cloud allows you to automatically spin up dedicated servers with pre-installed Netris Controller or SoftGate software running on Ubuntu. After deploying your infrastructure via API, CLI, or WebUI, you can easily connect your Controller to your SoftGate deployments using the Netris web portal. This gives you a centralized overview of your networking configurations and server deployments and lets you manage them across locations and environments.

Leveraging phoenixNAP’s flexible deployment, billing, and bandwidth options, you can automate the process of setting up Netris to run on top of phoenixNAP’s robust network resources. Additionally, you get access to high-performance resources powered by the latest CPUs, storage, and RAM without investing in hardware or infrastructure setup and management.

Features

Features of Netris on Bare Metal Cloud

Netris was created to eliminate the networking complexities related to launching and managing a private or hybrid cloud infrastructure at scale. This software solution automatically configures, monitors, and operates your network infrastructure. With phoenixNAP’s Bare Metal Cloud, you can consume Netris as a service on API-driven dedicated servers to build and interconnect scalable environments in a couple of clicks.

Save days of work otherwise spent on infrastructure provisioning and complex network setup or management processes. Deploy workload-optimized server instances with pre-installed Netris Controller or SoftGate software in mere minutes.

Network Access Control

Permit or deny traffic at subnet, IP, protocol, and port levels and help teams collaborate confidently with powerful approval workflows and out-of-the-box audit logs.

Site-To-Site VPN

Use Netris Site Mesh to create VPNs between private networks across phoenixNAP regions without worrying about configuration drifts or monitoring complexities.

Elastic Load Balancing

Get cloud-like, on-demand access to load balancing directly on bare metal, and leverage it for virtualized, containerized, or traditional environments at scale.

Segmentation and Internal Routing

Eliminate integration, architecture, and implementation overhead of managing inter-VLAN routing. Automatically provision and configure Layer-2 networks via API.

External Routing

Avoid the complexities and costs of manually routing your Internet traffic. Your upstream settings and public IP subnets automatically populate in your Netris Controller on Bare Metal Cloud.

Flexible Billing and Bandwidth Models

Consume dedicated resources with cloud agility via hourly billing and discounts for monthly or yearly reservations. Transparent billing for SoftGate licenses and no fees for Netris Controller.

Automated Provisioning

Both Bare Metal Cloud and Netris can be managed as code using familiar tools such as Terraform or Pulumi, making it easy to integrate the solution into your existing DevOps pipelines.

No Vendor Lock-In

Deploy anything from sandboxes to production environments or build hybrid cloud solutions without locking yourself into proprietary technologies.

Kubernetes Networking and CNI

Easily set up load balancing into your cluster, run DHCP for nodes, let nodes and pods access the Internet, enable routing between pods, or access them from remote locations.

Additional Bare Metal Cloud Features

Hybrid cloud is the most common infrastructure deployment method. It allows for increased control over your environment and enhanced performance, scalability, and data security capabilities at lower costs. However, deploying applications across distributed on-prem and cloud ecosystems leads to compliance, latency, cost, and networking challenges.

With Netris on Bare Metal Cloud, you get colocation-like security and transparency with cloud-like networking and infrastructure provisioning capabilities. This lets you easily and cost-effectively build and manage hybrid, edge, or private cloud environments suitable for processing demanding workloads.
