Integrated orchestration. Unify network and hardware orchestration, removing manual steps and reducing operational overhead.

Dynamic resource reuse. Reclaim and repurpose idle hardware to reduce waste and optimize infrastructure utilization.

Intelligent monitoring & RCA. Identify the root cause of infrastructure anomalies across the stack, reducing time to resolution.

AI-assisted optimization. Analyze workload patterns to suggest or execute infrastructure optimizations with minimal manual effort.

Automated remediation workflows. Apply predefined or system-driven actions to resolve issues consistently and reduce response time.

MetalSoft FAQ

Everything you need to know about MetalSoft, from architecture and AI to compliance.

MetalSoft is an intelligent orchestration platform specifically built for on-premises. It orchestrates bare metal servers, network, storage and more for on-premises environments, focusing on banking, telco, and government as well as service providers.

Absolutely, it supports the NVIDIA and AMD hardware and reference architectures, rail topologies, DPUs and more. It also detects nodes that might fail and AI can be used to trigger self-healing and automatically replace the failed nodes from the pool of servers for a particular tenant.

MetalSoft addresses the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) by providing automated firmware management, rigorous tenant isolation, and rapid recovery/isolation capabilities. It ensures that the underlying infrastructure meets the strict data resilience and security standards required for European financial entities.

MetalSoft leverages AI for two primary functions: Monitoring and Autonomous Optimization. By analyzing telemetry data from switches, firewalls, and servers simultaneously, the AI performs real-time Root Cause Analysis (RCA), distinguishing between transient noise and critical system failures. It also assists in "Intent-Based" operations, where the system automatically optimizes hardware settings for specific workload requirements.

On the contrary, it strengthens it. AI-assisted operations ensure that security configurations do not "drift" over time. If a manual change violates a compliance boundary (like DORA's resilience requirements), the AI-enabled monitoring triggers an immediate isolation or remediation protocol.

Yes. Through our Hardware Abstraction Layer, MetalSoft's AI treats your entire on-premises fleet as a single pool of resources. It understands the unique performance characteristics of different vendors and optimizes the placement of workloads—Bare Metal or VM—to ensure maximum efficiency and performance.

MetalSoft can employ a number of network isolation techniques for building sandboxes, leveraging physical hardware such as switches and DPUs to isolate workloads so that they cannot escape within the wider enterprise.

MetalSoft supports all major server vendors including Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro, and others through a Hardware Abstraction Layer. It also integrates with leading network switch vendors and storage systems, allowing you to manage a heterogeneous fleet through a single platform without vendor lock-in.

MetalSoft is deployed on-premises within your own environment, which is fundamental to its sovereign cloud value proposition. There is no phone-home dependency or cloud control plane. It can also operate in fully air-gapped environments, which is a key requirement for government and financial institutions.

A typical deployment takes days to weeks depending on fleet size and complexity. MetalSoft provides automated discovery and onboarding of existing hardware, so you don't need to start from scratch. Professional services and dedicated onboarding support are available for larger rollouts.

Yes. MetalSoft exposes a full REST API and a native Terraform provider, enabling infrastructure-as-code workflows across servers, networking, and storage. This allows teams to version, automate, and audit infrastructure changes using the same toolchains they use for cloud resources.

Yes. MetalSoft supports multi-site deployments, enabling centralized management and orchestration across geographically distributed data centers. This is commonly used by telcos and service providers operating regional infrastructure at scale.

MetalSoft focuses on automating the full hardware lifecycle — from bare metal provisioning and firmware management to network segmentation and day-2 operations — rather than being a hypervisor or tenant-facing cloud OS. It complements or replaces OpenStack in scenarios where operational simplicity, multi-vendor support, and sovereign control are the priority. Unlike VMware, there is no per-core licensing and no dependency on a specific hypervisor.
