Infrastructure Discovery & Network Intelligence
Automated collection and correlation of topology, addressing, inventory and lifecycle information.
discovery · snmp + ssh + api · 214 devices
Context
Enterprise and data-centre environments where documentation had drifted from reality and migration or assessment work needed an accurate picture of the estate.
01
The challenge
- Topology, addressing and inventory information spread across CMDBs, diagrams and individual devices.
- Manual collection took weeks and was out of date by the time it was finished.
- Lifecycle (end-of-sale / end-of-support) exposure unknown across thousands of devices.
02
Our approach
- Automated collectors using vendor APIs, SSH and SNMP with read-only access.
- Normalisation of raw device output into structured topology, inventory, addressing and lifecycle records.
- Correlation layer that links neighbours, interfaces and addresses into a consolidated model.
03
The outcome
- Estate-wide inventory and topology produced in hours rather than weeks, repeatable on demand.
- Accurate inputs for migration planning, assessments and design validation.
- Lifecycle risk visible per site and per platform.
