Testimonial
“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”

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, without investing in hardware or infrastructure setup and management, you get access to high-performance resources powered by the latest CPUs, storage, and RAM.
Advanced private networking at scale. No hassle. No CapEx.
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 a couple of clicks.
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 multiple phoenixNAP regions without worrying about configuration drifts or monitoring complexities.
Elastic Load Balancing
Get cloud-like, on-demand access to load balancing on bare metal, and leverage it for virtualized, containerized, or traditional environments.
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 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. No fees for Netris Controller and transparent billing for SoftGate licenses.
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.
You can choose from over 40 Bare Metal Cloud instances starting from as low as $0.08/hr!
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Netris Controller and SoftGate can be deployed on any of the 40+ globally available Bare Metal Cloud instances. There are no licensing fees for the Controller, while the SoftGate license is billed hourly based on your gateway bandwidth requirements.
