CENVERO/STRATUM
Bare-metal networking platform

Software-defined networking, engineered for bare metal.

Cenvero Stratum runs your entire network stack — switching and routing, DHCP and DNS, load balancing, firewalling and multi-host clustering — directly on the servers you already own. No external controller, no appliance tax, no per-port licensing.

// licensed deployment — installation & binary downloads require a valid license

Capabilities

Everything to run a software-defined data center

A complete networking stack — bare-metal and virtual — in one unified platform.

Explore every feature
01

High-Performance Networking

Packets are filtered and forwarded the instant they arrive — on an in-kernel fast path — no user-space hop in the hot path.

02

Multi-Host Clustering

State stays consistent across every host, with automatic leader election, virtual-network meshes and seamless failover.

03

Built-in DHCP & DNS

Integrated DHCP with per-network pools and relay. Authoritative DNS with zone management and upstream forwarding.

04

Load Balancer

Spread traffic across backends with round-robin, least-connections, weighted and source-hash algorithms.

05

Bandwidth Control

Per-VM traffic shaping with guaranteed minimums and burst allowances.

06

Zero-Trust Firewall

Default-deny microsegmentation with identity-based policies, connection tracking, per-source connection limits and scheduled rules.

07

Plugin Ecosystem

Extend the platform with signed plugin packages and automatic dependency resolution.

08

BGP Edge Routing

Full BGP speaker with prefix-lists and route-maps. Announce tenant networks upstream and filter what you import.

Deployment

Up and running in minutes

Three steps to production-ready data-center networking.

step
01

Install

One command installs the platform and everything it needs as a system service. Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Rocky and AlmaLinux.

step
02

Configure

Define your networks, IP pools, firewall rules and cluster peers in a single config file. Sensible defaults get you started fast.

step
03

Run

Start the agent and your VMs get instant connectivity. Clustering, DHCP, DNS and firewall are active from the first boot.

Licensing

Priced per node, nothing else

Not per port, not per core, not per workload. You pay for the machines you actually deployed — and the more you run, the less each one costs.
