Maximize Cloud ROI - Your Cloud, Off the Meter!
Cut Network Data Processing & AI Tokens Processing Cost by 50% or More!
Eliminate per-GB networking and per-token AI charges with one flat-fee scalable gateway, and cut EC2 compute cost with Elastic Applications -- automatic vertical scale up/down and on-demand↔Spot switching for stateful single-instance apps like PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, Grafana, and more...10+ apps -- Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, Neo4j, PostgreSQL, Trino, JupyterLab, Valkey, Qdrant, MinIO. Sticky EBS storage and a stable Elastic IP/DNS & HTTPS endpoint mean nothing reconfigures.
e.g. NAT 100 TB/month: $13,937 → $200/month.
Cloud Cost Optimization
Replace per-GB billing with a flat EC2 fee. At 100 TB/month you save $13,737 -- every single month. Scale data transfer freely. Every terabyte beyond the first costs nothing more. Elastic right-sizing plus spot is what makes running it yourself cheaper than both an always-on fixed appliance and the managed cloud meter -- you pay for the capacity you actually use, scale down off-peak, and ride spot.
Kernel-Level Performance
IPVS load balancing and nftables firewall run in Linux kernel space -- zero userspace overhead. Network-optimized EC2 instances deliver up to 600 Gbps of sustained throughput.
Always-On High Availability
Per-AZ Auto Scaling Groups with warm pools recover in under 10 seconds. EIP failover eliminates DNS propagation delays. Multi-instance mode linearly scales throughput across gateways -- unlike a single appliance or fixed HA pair, no single box's throughput is your ceiling.

Pricing at a glance
Cloud Spectra software fee = min(EC2 on-demand price × tier multiplier, hourly cap). The cap keeps the fee small on large instances -- not a multiple of the full instance price. Standard AWS data-transfer/egress charges always apply and are billed separately by AWS. See the full pricing calculator →

Everything You Need, One Appliance
sNAT + dNAT
Source NAT for internet egress, destination NAT for port forwarding. Full stateful connection tracking. Zero per-GB charges.
NetworkL4 Load Balancer (IPVS)
Kernel-space IPVS replaces AWS NLB. TLS termination via HAProxy. Linear throughput scaling with multi-instance mode.
NetworkAI LLM Proxy
Single endpoint for OpenAI, Claude, and Bedrock. Use the OpenAI SDK for everything. Response caching, token counting, and cost attribution built in.
AIHigh Availability
Per-AZ Auto Scaling Group with warm pool. EIP failover with instant DNS. Sub-10 second recovery from any single failure -- no DNS propagation delays.
NetworkElastic on Both Axes
The fleet scales horizontally (per-AZ Auto Scaling Groups add or remove instances across AZs; warm pools make scale-out fast) and vertically (resize instance types up or down). Planned scaling is seamless -- GWLB connection draining lets active flows finish before an instance is removed. A single-instance appliance (one OPNsense/pfSense/NAT VM or a fixed HA pair) caps at one box's NIC and cores; horizontal scale-out is the only way past that ceiling.
NetworkSuricata IDS/IPS
Sync rules from AWS Network Firewall -- no dedicated endpoints required ($0/month). 30,000+ ET Open threat detection rules, updated automatically.
SecuritySite-to-Site / Remote VPN
WireGuard and GRE site-to-site and hub-and-spoke VPN, plus WireGuard VPN for remote clients. Coming soon.
SecurityL7 HTTP Proxy
Distributed Squid proxy with per-AZ DNS, response caching, NCSA authentication, and domain-based filtering. Zero per-GB charges.
NetworkAI Prompt Audit Logging
Log every LLM API call with model, tokens, cost, latency, and source IP. Compliance-ready JSON to CloudWatch. Prompt content is never stored.
AIVPC Peering Mesh
Transit Manager auto-discovers VPCs across accounts and regions. Creates full-mesh peering with automatic route propagation. Zero data-plane cost.
AI GatewayHub-Spoke Agent (ECMP)
GRE tunnels from spoke VPCs to hub with ECMP load balancing. Centralized NAT and IDS/IPS for all spoke traffic.
AI GatewayMulti-Account Kubernetes
K8s control plane in your hub VPC. Worker nodes span accounts, regions, and VPCs with Calico IPIP. Cloud Spectra Karpenter provider for cross-account, spot-priced node provisioning.
AI GatewayBandwidth-Aware Predictive Scaling
EC2 Predictive Scaling trained on net_utilization_pct (max of in/out bandwidth). Pre-sizes the gateway in the next low-traffic window before a bandwidth peak arrives -- instead of reacting after the fact. Uses ForecastOnly for vertical replacement, ForecastAndScale for horizontal fleets. 14-day ML warmup; no extra AWS charge.
AI Ops Assistant
Natural language interface powered by Amazon Bedrock. Query topology, troubleshoot connectivity, and understand traffic patterns via real-time streaming responses.
AIWhere We're Headed
The flat-fee network data plane
Replace NAT Gateway, Network Firewall, Load Balancer, and Transit Gateway with one HA appliance -- zero per-GB charges. Plus a built-in LLM proxy that caches OpenAI, Claude, and Bedrock traffic to cut the per-token tax.
Deeper AI-traffic savings
Semantic caching extended to streaming and agent traffic, multi-cloud egress, and AI-traffic cost tooling that quantifies bandwidth on training pulls, checkpoints, and cross-region replication -- the same data plane, applied to AI workloads.
Beyond the data plane
Our long-term direction is to take the flat-fee model further across your cloud cost surface, including compute. That is a future product with a different architecture -- so it lives here as a roadmap item, never as a present-tense claim, until it is real.
