COO, rConfig
rConfig didn't start in a boardroom. It started on a late night, by an engineer tired of managing backups with fragile scripts and overpriced bloated software.
From humble roots in Ireland, it grew organically, line by line, feature by feature, driven entirely by the demands of the engineers using it.
Today, our philosophy remains unchanged: Zero Vendor Lock-in. We believe your data belongs to you, and your tools should empower you, not constrain you.
We don't hide behind sales walls or obscure pricing. What you see is what you get, from code to contracts.
We do one thing, Network Configuration Management, and we do it better than anyone else.
We listen to our community. Features are built based on real engineer needs, not boardroom strategy.
We are engineers building for engineers. We understand the pressure of downtime and audits.
Our software is lightweight, fast, and respectful of your infrastructure resources.
No vendor lock-in. No rigid workflows. rConfig adapts to your network, not the other way around.
The value for money is unbeatable. It does exactly what expensive enterprise tools do, but cleaner.
Evaluated Rancid and Oxidized. rConfig won on security features and role-based access control.
Finally, backups I don't have to baby-sit. It just works.
Trusted in 60+ countries. Used across regulated industries. Built to work everywhere, from data centers in Dublin to solar farms in Australia.
From 100 devices to 100,000+, rConfig scales with you. No lock-in. No fluff. Just powerful NCM.
