Our Story
Taurine Technology is building the future of network management — intelligent, cloud-native, and accessible to organizations of any size.
Born from Real-World Challenges
Our journey began in environments where every resource mattered and vendor lock-in wasn't an option. We saw firsthand how traditional network management tools failed — too expensive, too complex, and too rigid for the people who actually needed them. While researching AI-driven network optimization at the University of Cape Town, our founder Keegan White kept encountering the same pattern: networks get built and celebrated, but the tools to maintain them are designed for specialists, not operators. This experience shaped our vision: enterprise-grade network intelligence that works anywhere, on any hardware, for anyone.
Open Standards, Not Vendor Lock-In
We believe in open standards and commodity hardware. Axon runs on Open vSwitch, an industry-standard virtual switch, meaning you're never locked into expensive proprietary equipment. Your network, your choice of hardware.
Intelligence at the Edge, Control in the Cloud
Axon's architecture pushes intelligence to edge devices while orchestrating from the cloud. Traffic classification and rate-limiting happen locally — so your network keeps running even if internet connectivity drops. The cloud provides the unified view and control you need.
Built for Constraints, Works Everywhere
We started by solving problems in the most resource-constrained environments on earth. That discipline produced software that's lean, resilient, and effective at any scale — from a single site to hundreds.
