Overview
IronCore bridges the gap between virtualized infrastructure and physical hardware management, offering a unified solution for developers, system administrators, and enterprises. Explore the two core layers below to see how IronCore can transform your workflows.
IronCore Architecture
The following diagram shows IronCore's two layers. The bare metal management and network automation layers belong to the infrastructure management domain, while the IaaS layer provides cloud-like capabilities on top.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
The IaaS layer provides a flexible, user-friendly environment to create and manage Compute, Networking, and Storage resources. With IronCore, you can:
- Compute: Spin up virtual machines or containers tailored to your workload needs.
- Networking: Configure virtual networks, load balancers, and firewalls with ease.
- Storage: Provision scalable block, object, or file storage to suit your applications.
Designed for simplicity and power, this layer abstracts the complexity of resource management, giving you cloud-like control at your fingertips.
Bare Metal Management
The Bare Metal Management layer takes server management to the next level, handling everything from provisioning to ongoing maintenance. Key features include:
- Server Provisioning: Automate the discovery, configuration, and deployment of bare metal servers.
- Day 2 Operations: Simplify maintenance tasks like OS updates, BIOS/firmware upgrades, and hardware diagnostics.
- Lifecycle Management: Monitor and manage server health, ensuring peak performance and reliability.
This layer is perfect for those who need fine-grained control over physical hardware without sacrificing automation.

Network Automation
The Network Automation layer streamlines the management of network devices and configurations. It offers:
- Network Device Provisioning: Automatically discover and provision network devices across your infrastructure.
- Day 2 Operations: Manage configurations, updates, and compliance for network devices.
- Lifecycle Management: Monitor network device health and performance to ensure optimal operation.
This layer is ideal for network administrators looking to automate and simplify network management tasks.
