Fuga Cloud, EU’s Provider for Secure Cloud at Netris Connect Roundtable on 27th June.

Paul Bankert (CEO & founder) and Arnoud de Jonge (DevOps Engineer) of Fuga Cloud are the panelists for the upcoming Netris Connect Roundtable.
Netris 4.0 release is around the corner
Two major features are ongoing the final tests, Netris 4.0 is set to be released in a couple of weeks.
- Active Active LAG (Link Aggregation) for server multihoming. We took the automation of LAG configuration to the next level. When you use some switch ports with Netris V-NET service and you only enable LACP on the server side Netris will automatically understand that your intention is to have redundant connection with 2 switches and based on MAC address and other LACP metadata the LAG functionality will be configured on the switches automatically.
We call this feature Automatic LAG. Manual custom LAG configs are available too. This new functionality is using VXLAN Multihoming, it is currently supported only by Nvidia Switches with Cumulus NOS. On all other switches Netris will automatically configure active/standby LAG.
- Multiple VPC (sometimes used as VRF) functionality will allow for using overlapping IP addresses for Netris managed switch fabrics, and in next release we are planning to extend the multi VPC functionality to SoftGate nodes too.
Case study: This company recently moved from AWS to a Private Cloud with Netris Improving Unit Economics By 90%
