A look under the hood.

Open Source

We build in the open

Novarq engineers transparent networking. Open source guides how we design, document, and support every product. This openness breaks vendor lock-in, builds trust, and frees technology to evolve.

Mission

We build enterprise-grade networks on open-source foundations. Organizations gain full vendor freedom, complete transparency, and uncompromised performance through auditable solutions they control.

Vision

Open networking infrastructure that everyone can access, inspect, and trust. Organizations own their networks, collaborate on innovation, and rely on transparency in critical systems.

Our Journey

It started with a clear need

We needed hardware that could run our own networking software. Novarq began as a promise to build hardware that runs any software you choose.

From lab to production

First prototypes proved the approach worked. We refined designs, hardened them for production, and shipped real switches. Early adopters became collaborators who improved hardware specs, software features, and documentation. That collaboration drives us forward.

Open source in action

Engineers worldwide maintain code, debug drivers, and patch issues. This concept outlasts any vendor's roadmap. It evolves as networks demand it. Open source guarantees longevity through distributed collaboration.

Today

We ship enterprise-grade hardware and release the software we wish existed. We build systems you can trust, improve, and operate confidently.
