Netris raises $15 million for GPU data center automation

Send on LINE

3 Key Points

What happened
Netris, a network automation company, raised $15 million（約24億円） in a Series A round from Andreessen Horowitz. The company provides software that automates network setup, configuration, and multi-tenant operations for GPU data centers, and is currently live at more than 35 GPU clusters around the world (about a million GPUs total).
Why it matters
Building a new data center for AI services takes months and requires extensive engineering work that large operators like AWS and Google have already solved internally. Netris' platform lets smaller GPU cloud operators (neoclouds) cut deployment time by automating the work that previously required large engineering teams, potentially making it faster and cheaper to launch competing AI cloud services.
What to watch
The company plans to use the funding to hire more engineers and sales staff, add support for more hardware vendors, and expand its algorithms. Notably, Andreessen Horowitz partner Guido Appenzeller is joining Netris' board.
