Netris
NVIDIA Mission Control™ provides the industry's most comprehensive AI factory management platform — combining Base Command Manager, Run:ai, UFM, and NetQ into a single, unified control plane for compute, workload, and network orchestration. Netris® NAAM (Network Automation, Abstraction, and Multi-Tenancy) extends this powerful foundation with automated Ethernet fabric management, VPC-based multi-tenancy, and hard isolation enforced at the networking hardware level - integrating with UFM for InfiniBand PKey management, NMX-C for automated NVLink partition orchestration on GB200/GB300 NVL72 systems, and NVIDIA DOCA for BlueField DPU provisioning. Together, NVIDIA Mission Control and Netris NAAM deliver a complete, cohesive AI factory stack - from bare metal provisioning to tenant-level network isolation - enabling GPU cloud operators to achieve cloud-provider-grade infrastructure and get revenue-generating operations running in weeks instead of years.

Proxmox
NVIDIA Mission Control™ is the foundation for deploying and operating the world's most advanced AI factory infrastructure — and Proxmox VE extends that foundation with a powerful virtualization layer for dedicated per-tenant control plane management. By leveraging Proxmox VMs on dedicated control plane nodes placed within each tenant's isolated network - with in-band VLAN, out-of-band VLAN, and InfiniBand PKey isolation enforced at the switch level - operators can flexibly deploy NVIDIA Mission Control services including virtualized Kubernetes, BCM, Slurm, and Run:ai on a per-tenant basis. This dedicated control plane design gives each tenant full autonomy over their NVIDIA Mission Control environment, delivering enterprise-grade security and isolation that shared Kubernetes namespace approaches simply cannot match.

vCluster
NVIDIA Mission Control™ delivers the operational best practices, automation, and resilience that AI factory operators need to maximize GPU utilization and accelerate time to revenue - and vCluster extends that capability with a shared control plane multi-tenancy model that eliminates the underutilization and capacity constraints of dedicated per-tenant clusters. By enabling multiple tenants to share pooled GPU compute resources through fully automated node and cluster operations, the NVIDIA Mission Control + vCluster + Netris reference architecture delivers secure tenant isolation, strong network automation across NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet, Quantum InfiniBand, and NVLink fabrics, and resilient day-2 operations - all directly integrated into the NVIDIA stack. The result is a flexible, scalable, and secure AI cloud platform that gives operators the freedom to dynamically reallocate GPU capacity across tenants while maintaining the enterprise-grade control that NVIDIA Mission Control is built to deliver.
