Stateless was founded in 2016 with a vision to fundamentally re-think the architecture of network devices to meet today’s “as a service” demands. The company has developed first of its kind technology to allow network functions like firewalls and load balancers to be easily offered and consumed through the “as a service” model. The company’s platform and network functions move networking infrastructures of all kinds into the cloud era, giving operators the flexibility and functionality today’s users badly need. Stateless is based in Boulder, CO and is a spin-off of research conducted by co-founders Murad Kablan and Eric Keller.
