Meet NetActuate at All Things Open

September 15, 2025
Meet NetActuate at All Things Open

After a several year hiatus, NetActuate is pleased to announce that we’ll be participating at All Things Open in Raleigh, NC, Oct 12-14, 2025 a a Gold Sponsor. With a staff headquarters, virtual NOC, and Data Center all in the Raleigh/Durham region, we’re excited to help grow, support, and engage with the Open Source Software (OSS) and tech communities right here in our own backyard! Send an email to info@netactuate.com to schedule a time to meet up at the show.

Open Source Community Support

Open source is at the core of what we do and we take an “open source first” approach when developing software — including our onboarding playbooks for Ansible, Chef, Open Tofu, Terraform, and other open, non-proprietary platforms.

NetActuate is a proud supporter of the communities and projects that the Internet relies on like CPAN, FreeBSD, Gentoo Linux, Taubyte, Varnish Cache, and others. We’re also big believers in an open/equal internet and offer free Anycast DNS services to emerging country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs). 

At All Things Open 2025, we are proud to provide free and discounted event passes to the We Love Open Source community, All Things Open RTP Meetup Group, and Open Source South Carolina Meetup Group. We’re also active participants in the local Triangle Linux User Group and gave a presentation at the June 12th event on the evolution of the SysAdmin role into DevOps.

Dial-up to DevOps (Booth #49)

Visit NetActuate in Booth 49

Working to bring vintage hardware, software, and networking gear back to life is a journey full of unpredictable highs and lows. But, what's consistent is that working with vintage tech builds respect for past engineers and reminds us of the fundamentals on which modern tech stacks are built.

This year at All Things Open, we're excited to partner with The Serial Port, a virtual technology museum with over 110K followers on YouTube. In this exclusive demo, The Serial Port will recreate a “1990s Internet Experience” with a hands-on, dial-up demo on a vintage PC and Cobalt RaQ web server appliance! Swing by for a demo and an “I dialed into the Internet today” sticker. 

Booth visitors then fast-forward to today with NetActuate demos using our customer portal to showcase DevOps and Anycast workflows on our global network.

Speaking Slots

Open source-powered and developer-first AI stack

Track: Case Study / Demo  

Date/Time: TBD

Room: TBD

Speakers: Yann Léger, CEO, Koyeb; Greg Wallace, Director of Partnerships, NetActuate

Enterprise technology leaders are saying no to many worthy AI projects because of the punishing cost of hyperscaler AI tokens. At the same time, developers lack choice and control.

Just as it has for the past 40 years, Open Source and Open Standards are now bringing choice, control, and affordability to AI.

Yann Léger, CEO of Koyeb, a next-generation serverless cloud for developers, and Greg Wallace, Director of Partnerships at NetActuate, will detail and demo how this stack is democratizing AI and putting the power back in developer’s hands.

The stack is built on Tenstorrent’s open-source ecosystem and RISC-V-based WormholeTM acceleration cards. These powerful, customizable, and affordable cards, and Tenstorrent’s open source TT-NN and TT-Metalium SDKs, put developers in control.

Koyeb provides the serverless platform so developers can instantly access Tenstorrent hardware.

Koyeb and Tenstorrent run this developer-first AI stack on NetActuate’s infrastructure for always on, always fast, and custom-built connectivity.

OSS at the Network Edge: Automating DCIM for Accuracy and Speed

Track: Hardware / IoT

Date/Time: Monday, Oct 13, 3:45 EST

Room: 301B

Speaker: Craig Jackson, Devops Support Engineer, NetActuate

Edge computing requires a physical footprint at the network edge in multiple locations. Maintaining configurations and inventory tracking for various Points of Presence (PoPs), spread out over a global footprint, with a mixed infrastructure environment — such as colocation, bare metal, and VMs — is no simple task.

Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) is an industry standard approach and very helpful for configuration but is also prone to human error which slows down deployments. In this talk, we'll show how to automate for DCIM and IP Address Management (IPAM) using Open Source Software (OSS) tooling, extend capabilities with additional plugins, and marshal data through the various APIs. We'll demo this using Snipe-IT to extend Netbox's inventory tracking and BGP Session controls.

By increasing automation and decreasing manual tasks in DCIM, administrators can accelerate global deployments to the network edge. 

Careers

NetActuate currently has several open positions and we will have our NetActuate recruiter on site to meet with applicants. Please stop by the booth on Monday or Tuesday from 1:45 - 4:45 to meet with Allyson May (ally@netactuate.com).

We look forward to seeing you in Raleigh!
