Why NetFoundry On-Prem?

A cloud hosted solution is not suitable for all customers. Some customers are required to host all of their own infrastructure in private datacenters, or in public clouds where they are in full control of the security policies and access control lists.

For isolated environments or partially air-gapped installs, some installations require that the Ziti controller and edge routers are only resolvable and reachable from within a private network space. Typically the requirement exists where these installations can only be administrated from within the private network space as well. For these cases, NetFoundry On-Premise likely makes the most sense.

What Do We Deploy​

Ziti Controller - This deployment relies on the open source ziti-controller helm chart, and this chart bootstraps all of the necessary PKI infrastructure needed to run the ziti control plane.

ZAC (Ziti Admin Console) - This ships natively with the above ziti-controller helm chart. It is a lightweight, and fully open source UI that deploys as an application alongside the controller.

Ziti Router - This deployment relies on the open source ziti-router helm chart, and at least one edge router will typically be deployed right alongside the controller. Deploying a ziti-controller + ziti-router with the edge listener enabled gives users a fully functional ziti network that can pass traffic within minutes.

NetFoundry Support Stack - This deployment relies on our proprietary helm chart, is only available with a private access token issued to the customer. This support stack is designed to empower the users to be able to leverage all of the telemetry and events that is available in ziti. All components within the support stack are currently open source, and they are pre-configured to work together to provide viable support for the Ziti installation. This includes pre-configured telemetry dashboards and searchable application logs that mirror what NetFoundry uses internally to support the installation.

Automated Backups - NetFoundry On-Premise provides setup and installation for scheduled automated backups, as well as defined processes for restoring a complete network.
