VPU-as-a-Service Infrastructure for Global Video Workloads
NetActuate enables organizations to deploy NETINT Video Processing Units (VPUs) as a service through its global infrastructure platform. By combining NETINT’s hardware-accelerated video processing with NetActuate’s cloud and bare metal infrastructure, customers can access high-performance transcoding capacity without purchasing or managing dedicated hardware.
Role in the VPU Ecosystem
NetActuate represents the deployment and consumption layer within the NETINT VPU Ecosystem.
While NETINT VPUs provide highly efficient video processing, many organizations do not want to build, operate, and maintain accelerator infrastructure themselves. NetActuate bridges this gap by making VPU-powered video processing available through globally distributed infrastructure that can be provisioned on demand.
This approach allows streaming platforms, broadcasters, and service providers to evaluate, deploy, and scale hardware-accelerated transcoding without the operational complexity traditionally associated with specialized hardware.

Short Demo
How to Create a VM and Attach a NETINT VPU
In this short demo, Greg Wallace, Director of Partnerships at NetActuate, shows how simple it is to create a VM and add a NETINT VPU. The walkthrough covers choosing a location, sizing the VM, enabling accelerators, selecting the NETINT Quadra option, and deploying. The accelerator attaches directly to the VM and can be managed from the portal, while teams keep control of the software stack.
