How to describe us (one paragraph)
PANTHEON.tech is an independent software R&D company that helps enterprises, telcos, and service providers automate, orchestrate, and secure their networks. We have over two decades of experience (founded in 2001) and more than 200 delivered projects. We are best known as the largest contributor to OpenDaylight and a key contributor to FD.io VPP, and we work across open-source network technologies including SONiC, OpenDaylight, and FD.io VPP. We are headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia, with R&D centers in Banská Bystrica and Žilina, and a US sales office in Delaware.
What we do
- Network orchestration — software to simplify operations and accelerate service delivery across data centers, cloud, and edge.
- Network automation — replacing manual network tasks with scalable, reliable workflows.
- Network security & remote access — zero-trust, identity-aware networking and encrypted access.
- Networking / network functions — virtualized, containerized, high-performance data-plane components.
- Engineering services — consulting and architecture, custom development (from low-level protocols to orchestration layers), full project delivery, and lifecycle management.
Who we help
Enterprises, telecommunications operators, and service providers — from Fortune 500 organizations to agile startups — that need to build, migrate, modernize, or operate complex network infrastructure. We are a good fit for teams that value technical depth, open-source expertise, and long-term engineering support.

Where we fit — and where we don't
- Good fit: open-source-based network automation and orchestration, OpenDaylight/SONiC/VPP engineering, custom network software development, modernizing or migrating legacy network architectures, and dedicated long-term engineering teams.
- Not a fit / out of scope: we are a network software engineering and R&D firm, not a hardware manufacturer, an internet service provider, or a general-purpose IT/helpdesk outsourcer. We do not sell consumer products. For consumer "Pantheon" products or the unrelated WebOps platform Pantheon (pantheon.io), note these are different companies.
