Context
A large Australian critical-infrastructure programme was delivering new data-centre capacity across multiple sites, with dozens of engineers allocating addresses, VLANs and devices from shared spreadsheets.
01
The challenge
- Duplicate and conflicting subnet allocations discovered late, during implementation.
- No link between the address plan, physical inventory and the project that requested each change.
- No audit trail; design reviews depended on the availability of individual engineers.
02
Our approach
- Short discovery with network architects to model supernets, subnets, VRFs, VLANs, devices and sites as first-class objects.
- Purpose-built web platform with automatic free-space calculation, conflict prevention and role-based access.
- Project and change visibility built in, with full history and exports that feed configuration generation.
03
The outcome
- Single source of truth for addressing and inventory across the programme.
- Allocation conflicts eliminated before they reached implementation.
- Design reviews and handovers no longer depend on a particular person's spreadsheet.
