Netris raises $15M to kill the 'neocloud' bottleneck
netris raised $15m from a16z to automate network configuration for ai data centers. this helps smaller gpu cloud operators launch faster and compete with hyperscalers like aws.
netris raised $15m in a series a round led by a16z to solve a critical bottleneck in the ai infrastructure boom. the company provides hardware-accelerated network automation software that reduces the time to launch gpu cloud clusters by automating complex configurations. it is already deployed across 35 clusters and roughly 1 million gpus for customers like lightning AI and foxconn. this allows emerging 'neocloud' providers to operationalize expensive gpus faster and compete with established hyperscalers like aws and google. netris ceo emphasized that unlike competitors using software-defined networking, netris uses deterministic algorithms rather than ai to ensure reliability.
