Built for networks that can't go down
Mission-critical industries demand more than a terminal emulator. They need credential isolation, immutable audit trails, air-gapped deployment, and automation that scales to tens of thousands of devices. NetStacks was built for exactly this.
Every session audited. Every credential isolated. Every auditor satisfied.
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. Every session is automatically recorded with command-level indexing. RBAC with 12+ granular permissions ensures least-privilege access. Export audit logs to Splunk, Elastic, or QRadar in real time. Auditors get a complete chain of custody for every network access event.
ePHI never traverses 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 are recorded and indexed for HIPAA audit requirements. For isolated clinical networks -- biomedical device VLANs, radiology subnets, pharmacy systems -- deploy the Controller in air-gapped mode with no internet dependency. Offline licensing ensures full functionality even in the most locked-down environments.
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, schedules, and AI agents that handle 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. Jinja2 templates with shared variable sets let you define a CPE configuration once and deploy it to thousands of devices. Scheduled tasks handle config backups, compliance checks, and firmware audits on cron. NOC AI agents auto-connect to alarming devices, run diagnostic commands, correlate the output, and either auto-remediate known issues or escalate with full context attached. Your Tier 1 team handles more with fewer escalations.
Key Capabilities
- Jinja2 templates for CPE mass rollouts and zero-touch provisioning
- Scheduled config backups with automatic drift detection
- API-driven provisioning integrated with your OSS/BSS stack
- Multi-send commands across thousands of devices simultaneously
- NOC agents for autonomous incident triage and first-response
- Session recording for regulatory compliance and training
Air-gapped. On-premises. No cloud dependency. No exceptions.
Government and defense networks operate under the strictest security requirements in existence. NIST 800-53 mandates comprehensive access controls, audit logging, and encryption. FedRAMP requires authorized deployment architectures. CMMC levels dictate maturity practices for handling CUI and classified information. In SCIF environments, no data can leave the facility -- not even licensing telemetry.
NetStacks deploys entirely on-premises with zero cloud dependency. The Controller runs on your infrastructure -- bare metal, VM, or container -- inside your network perimeter. Air-gapped mode disables all outbound connectivity. Offline licensing activates via file transfer. SSH CA integration issues short-lived certificates from your own certificate authority. Every feature works identically whether you have internet access or not.
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 strict tenant isolation and per-client RBAC.
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 folders per client with separate credential sets, RBAC policies, and audit trails. Build reusable templates for common client architectures -- branch office routers, firewall policies, switch port configs -- and deploy them across clients with per-tenant variables. Every session is recorded and attributable to a specific engineer and client. Generate per-client compliance reports on demand.
- Per-client folders with isolated credentials and RBAC
- Reusable templates with per-tenant variable overrides
- Per-client audit logs and session recordings
- 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 compliance posture, deployment model, and operational scale. Whether you need air-gapped isolation or browser-based access for a distributed team -- the platform meets you where you are.
