Already on Ubuntu with /dev/kvm? One line installs everything — services, OVS, signed images — and starts it.

Up and running in minutes

Three steps. No CLI required.

01

Get it

Download the appliance or ISO above. The appliance imports into VirtualBox/VMware; the ISO flashes to a USB stick.

02

Start it

Boot the VM or host. Netplex's services come up self-healing and supervised — nothing to configure, nothing to babysit.

03

Open the browser

Go to the host's address, sign in, and start building. Import an EVE-NG lab to land straight in a working topology.
