About us
Written by engineers who still do design work
Ironpeak has been developed by the same core team since 1998, and several of them still sign drawings.
Origin
The people writing the solver also use it
Two of our developers spend part of each year on consulting projects, using the software the way customers do. It is an expensive way to run a development team and it is the reason the report generator exists in the shape it does.

How we work
Boring on purpose
We would rather run software that is three years old and understood than something new that pages us at 04:00.
Own the path
We buy transit from multiple carriers and peer directly wherever it is possible, so a single bad hop is never a single point of failure.
Write it down
Every incident gets a public write-up. Every design decision gets an RFC. Institutional memory beats heroics.
Some of the people behind it
A quarter of the company has been here since the first rack.
