Nutanix, a hybrid cloud leader and AI platform company, and Netris, the leading provider of Network Automation, Abstraction, and Multitenancy for AI infrastructure, have announced a strategic collaboration to deliver a jointly engineered infrastructure stack designed specifically for neoclouds and enterprises.
Nutanix and Netris have announced a strategic collaboration to deliver a multitenant infrastructure stack for neoclouds and enterprises.
The joint solution combines Nutanix Cloud Platform with the Netris NAAM platform.
It is designed to help neoclouds launch secure, NVIDIA GPU-accelerated IaaS offerings faster and meet NVIDIA's technical requirements for multitenant services.
Enterprises will be able to run business-critical AI workloads on multitenant GPU infrastructure with hard isolation enforced on networking hardware between tenants.
Capabilities include automated network fabric operations, unified multitenant networking, self-service cloud networking and end-to-end tenant isolation.
The joint solution is planned to be available in tech preview in early 2027.
"Neoclouds and NVIDIA Cloud Partners are at the forefront of the AI transformation, but building the cloud operating stack required to monetize GPU clusters at scale is remarkably complex," said Ketan Shah, Vice President, Product Management, Nutanix. "By pairing Nutanix's Agentic AI solution with the Netris NAAM platform, we will provide AI cloud operators with an out-of-the-box solution to accelerate their journey from metals to margins. We chose to partner with Netris, a leader in network automation, abstraction, and multitenancy, to give operators true self-service networking across both bare-metal and virtualized environments. This will enable our partners to deliver secure, multitenant IaaS environments quickly while maintaining the simplicity and enterprise reliability that Nutanix is known for."
"AI infrastructure is scaling incredibly fast, and the network has to scale with it," said Alex Saroyan, CEO and Co-Founder of Netris. "An AI cloud needs two layers working as one — Nutanix's compute orchestration and virtualization, backed by deep operational leadership and experience, and Netris network automation, abstraction, and multitenancy. What makes this collaboration matter is that those layers stay continuously in sync, giving neoclouds and enterprises a single automated stack for secure, multitenant GPU services."
As the demand for AI infrastructure accelerates, neoclouds and enterprises are leading the deployment of large GPU clusters to support a broad range of AI workloads. Delivering this infrastructure as a service requires both soft isolation and hard isolation enforced on networking hardware that extends across every layer of the infrastructure.
Bringing together Nutanix's cloud infrastructure capabilities with Netris network automation and multitenancy, the joint solution will provide a secure, multitenant AI infrastructure stack across bare-metal and virtualized environments. Key highlights will include:
Automated Network Fabric Operations: Simplifies AI infrastructure deployment by automatically configuring the physical network as tenant resources are provisioned.
Unified Multitenant Networking: Delivers a consistent networking experience across physical and virtual environments by translating Nutanix tenant requirements into the appropriate underlying network services.
Self-Service Cloud Networking: Provides cloud-grade networking constructs — VPCs, elastic IPs, NAT, and L4 load balancers — through a web console, REST API, and Terraform.
High-Performance AI Factory Networking: Supports the connectivity for demanding AI workloads, enabling efficient edge, East-West, North-South, scale-up, and host-based networking traffic flows.
End-to-End Tenant Isolation: Extends secure hard and soft tenant isolation across the entire network — from virtual workloads through the physical switching layer.
"AI infrastructure providers are evolving beyond GPU capacity to deliver trusted inference environments, workload orchestration, agent lifecycle management, and managed AI services. The differentiator will be a cloud-like operating model that combines performance with control, isolation, and security at every layer of the stack," said Steve McDowell, Principal Analyst, NAND Research.
