Red Hat and Netris bring multi-tenant networking to sovereign AI clouds and neoclouds

As AI compute and storage have evolved to become abstracted, multi-tenant, and automated, AI infrastructure now demands accelerated networking that delivers the same levels of automation, orchestration, and multi-tenancy across fabrics spanning NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet, NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand, NVIDIA NVLink, and NVIDIA BlueField DPUs. Yet many deployments still rely on fragmented, manually provisioned network environments that struggle to provide the scalability, operational efficiency, and workload isolation required for regulated and sovereign AI deployments. 

Red Hat is teaming with Netris to help close that gap. Building on the foundation Red Hat established with Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA, the collaboration brings hard isolation (enforced on networking hardware) and multi-tenancy to sovereign AI clouds and neoclouds. The Netris NAAM (Network Automation, Abstraction, and Multi-Tenancy) platform provides a cloud-grade API for physical infrastructure, delivering the public-cloud experience to bare-metal environments — VPCs, VPC peering, elastic IPs, load balancers, and NAT gateways — with hard isolation automated across switches, DPUs, and the edge.

Flexible service models with Red Hat and Netris

This collaboration is designed to enable multi-tenant environments with hard isolation across switches, DPUs, and fabrics — not just in software. This can help organizations address requirements for sovereign and regulated workloads. To support diverse operational needs, the architecture supports four primary service models:

Why the Netris + Red Hat  collaboration matters:

• Time to revenue: A single API replaces switch-by-switch spine-leaf configuration, helping to significantly accelerate the deployment of GPU clouds.
• Automated network lifecycle: Delivers an automated path from raw bare-metal to a functioning OpenShift cluster with public endpoints.
• Hard isolation (enforced on networking hardware): Tenant boundaries are designed to be enforced across switches, DPUs, and the edge, helping organizations address compliance and data sovereignty requirements.
• Full lifecycle efficiency: The streamlined tenant onboarding and offboarding experience allows for automated self-service provisioning and confirming that when a cluster is removed, all VPCs and NAT rules are purged, returning servers to the available pool.
• Dynamic scale: Operators can resize GPU pools and reassign resources between tenants in real time, helping to minimize downtime and disruption to active workloads.

The collaboration between Red Hat's compute platforms and the Netris NAAM platform help bridge the gap between high-performance bare metal and the cloud-grade agility AI cloud operators need. Together, Red Hat and Netris are building the foundation for the next generation of global AI infrastructure.
