MetalSoft

MetalSoft, a Chicago, IL-based provider of intelligent bare metal automation software for managing data centers and multi-vendor equipment, raised $16M in Series A funding.

The round was led by DNS Capital.

The company intends to use the funds to accelerate growth, expand operations and its business reach.

Led by CEO Lucas Roh, MetalSoft enables enterprises and service providers to automate the management of hardware devices across all their data centers, while allowing end-users to design, deploy and operate their own bare metal infrastructures via user interface or API. The company provides bare metal automation software for managing data centers and multi-vendor equipment, from a single rack of servers to tens of thousands across the globe. It then makes them available to be consumed on-demand by users and applications, like the cloud.

MetalSoft’s multi-vendor solution benefits include:

  • Automatic server management: including deployment and configuration of operating systems, configuration of BIOS & RAID, management of firmware upgrades, auto-discovery and inventory management.
  • Automatic network management: including tracking network topology, setting up VLANs, MLAGs, allocating IPs, configuring operating system IPs and bond interfaces.
  • Automatic storage management: including configuration of storage volumes, allocating IPs to storage pools, managing storage related OS network configurations, taking snapshots.
  • Unified Intent for the complete stack: A single blueprint defines the entire infrastructure including servers, storage and networking resulting in a faster, less error-prone and more flexible solution.
