Born from Real-World Challenges, Built for Modern Networks

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.

rConfig Logo
  • Breaking the Software Cults of NCM

    • NCM should be an afterthought, running silently in the background.
    • We rejected opinionated workflows that force you to work "our way".
    • Engineers should relax knowing their configs are safe, not babysit their tools.
  • Deliver Agnostic, Ever-Improving NCM

    • User-centric development: You ask, we build.
    • Respond to real engineer pain points immediately.
    • Stay relentlessly focused on NCM excellence, not feature bloat.
PRINCIPLES

Our Values

  • Transparent

    We don't hide behind sales walls or obscure pricing. What you see is what you get, from code to contracts.

  • Focused

    We do one thing, Network Configuration Management, and we do it better than anyone else.

  • Responsive

    We listen to our community. Features are built based on real engineer needs, not boardroom strategy.

  • Understanding

    We are engineers building for engineers. We understand the pressure of downtime and audits.

  • Efficient

    Our software is lightweight, fast, and respectful of your infrastructure resources.

  • Flexible

    No vendor lock-in. No rigid workflows. rConfig adapts to your network, not the other way around.
