Built for networks that can't go down
Mission-critical industries demand more than a terminal emulator. They need credential isolation, audit trails, on-premises deployment, and automation that scales with the network. NetStacks was built for exactly this.
Every session auditable. Every credential isolated.
Financial institutions face relentless regulatory pressure. SOC 2 auditors want proof that network credentials are controlled, that every SSH session is recorded, and that access is governed by role-based policies. PCI DSS demands network segmentation and access logging. Your current workflow of shared credentials in a spreadsheet and ad-hoc PuTTY sessions fails every audit.
NetStacks changes the architecture. The Controller acts as an SSH proxy -- credentials live in an AES-256-GCM encrypted vault and never reach engineer laptops. Sessions can be recorded centrally, roles separate who administers users, credentials and settings, and logins, secret reveals and device commands are written to one audit log you can filter when the auditor asks.
Device credentials never touch an engineer's laptop. By design.
HIPAA requires access controls, audit trails, and encryption for any system that touches electronic Protected Health Information. Clinical networks connect infusion pumps, patient monitors, PACS systems, and EHR databases. When a network engineer SSH's into a switch that carries ePHI traffic, the session itself becomes a compliance surface.
With NetStacks, engineers never handle device credentials directly. The Controller proxies every SSH connection, injecting credentials from an encrypted vault at connection time. Sessions can be recorded centrally for your audit trail. For segmented clinical networks -- biomedical device VLANs, radiology subnets, pharmacy systems -- deploy the Controller on-premises inside the network it manages, so devices only need to accept connections from it.
When your device count has commas, you need automation-first tooling
Service providers manage thousands of CPEs, access nodes, edge routers, and core switches. Manual CLI sessions don't scale. You need templates, config backups, and AI assistance that keep up with the volume your NOC faces every day.
Telecommunications networks operate at a scale where every manual process becomes a bottleneck. A single fiber cut can generate hundreds of alarms across your NOC. A firmware vulnerability requires patching thousands of CPEs overnight. A new service rollout means configuring edge routers across an entire metro area.
NetStacks is built for this scale. Jinja templates grouped into stacks let you define a configuration once and push it to many devices over gNMI or NETCONF, with shared and per-device variables. Config backups keep every version of every running config. The AI assistant runs read-only diagnostics on an alarming device and explains the output, so your Tier 1 team handles more with fewer escalations.
Key Capabilities
- Jinja templates and stacks for consistent rollouts across many devices
- Config backups and snapshots with version-to-version diff
- A REST API, plus stack variables pulled from your own APIs
- Multi-send and broadcast commands across many sessions at once
- AI assistant and background agents for read-only first-response diagnostics
- Session recording for audit and training
On-premises. Your infrastructure. Your keys.
Government and defense networks operate under the strictest security requirements in existence. NIST 800-53 mandates comprehensive access controls, audit logging, and encryption. Sensitive environments want to know exactly where credentials, session data and logs live, and who can reach them.
The NetStacks Controller runs on your infrastructure -- a Linux server or VM with Docker -- inside your network perimeter. Credentials are encrypted with a master key generated at install that never leaves your server, session recordings and audit logs stay in your own database, and the built-in SSH certificate authority issues short-lived certificates to engineers.
One platform. Every client. Complete isolation.
MSPs juggle multiple client environments, each with different devices, credentials, compliance requirements, and SLAs. You need one tool that handles all of them -- with tenant isolation and per-client roles.
Most MSPs duct-tape together five different tools: one for SSH, one for credentials, one for automation, one for documentation, and a spreadsheet to track which engineer has access to which client. This creates operational overhead, security gaps, and compliance blind spots. When a client asks "who accessed our firewall last Tuesday?" -- the answer shouldn't require an hour of log archaeology.
NetStacks consolidates everything into a single platform with built-in tenant isolation. Create an organization per client, each with its own devices, connection profiles, secrets and roles; platform administrators switch between them. Build reusable templates for common client architectures -- branch office routers, firewall policies, switch port configs -- and deploy them with per-device variables. Sessions can be recorded and are attributable to a specific engineer.
- An organization per client, with its own credentials and roles
- Reusable templates with per-device variables
- Session recordings attributable to each engineer
- Browser-based access -- no installs for client-site techs
Campus networks are complex. Your tooling shouldn't be.
University networks are among the most diverse and challenging environments in networking. A single campus spans residence halls with thousands of student devices, research labs running specialized protocols, a data center hosting institutional services, a library with public access, and administrative offices with compliance requirements. The network team is often small, the budget is tight, and the device inventory is wildly heterogeneous.
NetStacks gives small teams big capabilities. NetBox integration syncs your DCIM data into interactive topology maps -- visualize your entire campus network and click-to-connect to any device. Onboard new team members quickly with the browser-based terminal that requires no installation. Use topology visualization as a teaching tool for student network engineers. Templates standardize configurations across buildings. Research network complexity becomes manageable when your tooling understands the topology.
Your industry. Your requirements. Our platform.
NetStacks adapts to your security posture, deployment model, and operational scale. Whether you need on-premises isolation or browser-based access for a distributed team -- the platform meets you where you are.
