NETSEED

Independent network operator · Colorado

Our own infrastructure, from the rack up.

Netseed runs its own compute, storage and network in a rack in Colorado, and operates internet services on top of it. This page is served from that rack.

01 What we run

Compute

A two-node Proxmox VE cluster on our own hardware: dual AMD EPYC “Milan” and an AMD Threadripper PRO. Services run as virtual machines and containers that live-migrate between the nodes.

Storage

ZFS throughout: mirrored NVMe for guest disks, and an 84-bay dual-path SAS enclosure for bulk data. Every guest is backed up nightly, encrypted on the client, with an offsite copy.

Network

A 10 Gbit/s switched core on MikroTik, an isolated out-of-band management network, and private admin access over WireGuard (Tailscale), with access policy kept as code and changed by review.

Operations

Prometheus and Alertmanager watch the hardware, the network and the services, and page us when something needs attention; an external dead-man check covers the monitoring itself. Every change goes into a written runbook and log.
