About Us The Kumorai Story

Kumorai (from the Japanese kumo, cloud) is now a California-headquartered, globally distributed team with roots stretching from San Francisco to most recently Romania. Our SaaS platform gives enterprises a single, no-code pane of glass to design, deploy and govern hybrid networks across AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem data centers and everything in-between.

The majority of our clients such as Cisco, Bank of America are from the United States. They report up to an 80 % reduction in deployment effort and OpEx after replacing ad-hoc scripts with Kumorais drag-and-drop blueprints and policy-driven automation. We are a fast-growing company with a lot of potential to expand through partnerships and sales-led growth motion, but for that, we need to step up on branding, demand generation, revenue orchestration and for that we need you.

Behind the software is a powerhouse of 105+ years of combined industry experience and ten CCIEs, plus multiple Masters and PhD degrees from institutions like Georgia Tech. Our specialists have walked the data-center aisles, solved the late-night Sev-1s and know exactly where traditional tooling breaks.

Today our motto is bold and simple : Infra Automation. Made Simple. If you believe infra should deploy in minutes, not months welcome to Kumorai. We're just getting started, and the view above the clouds is spectacular.
