A multi-campus European university with 18,000 students and a 6-person network team replaced fragmented per-building management with ConnectMyAssets, cutting troubleshooting time in half and eliminating configuration blind spots across all 3 campuses.
Contact usThree campuses growing independently, thousands of personal devices, and a small team drowning in VLAN complexity.
3 campuses with 32 buildings, each historically managed by different teams with no shared naming conventions or documentation. The main campus alone had 6,200 switch ports, nobody knew how many were active, reserved, or misconfigured.
18,000 students and 3,200 staff connecting personal laptops, phones, and tablets daily. Peak registration periods saw 25,000+ concurrent devices. Without reliable endpoint counting or segmentation validation, capacity planning was guesswork.
A 6-person network team managing 10,000+ ports with a tooling budget under EUR 40,000/year. Enterprise NMS solutions quoted EUR 150,000+ annually, forcing the team to rely on free-tier tools, CLI scripts, and manual spreadsheet tracking.
200+ VLANs with overlapping IP ranges between campuses. Each new lab, classroom, or research group required hours of manual subnet research. Misconfigurations caused 3 outages per semester on average, disrupting lectures and exams.
A platform that gives a small team enterprise-grade visibility without an enterprise-grade price tag.
CMDB auto-discovery scanned all 32 buildings across 3 campuses and identified 920+ network devices, including 74 previously undocumented switches and APs. Every device is tagged with building, floor, and VLAN assignment.
IPAM provides a live view of every subnet and VLAN across all campuses with conflict detection. New room provisioning uses pre-validated IP blocks, the team eliminated all VLAN overlap issues within the first month.
Auto-generated topology maps per building and per campus show uplink paths, redundancy gaps, and inter-campus links. The team spots bottlenecks visually instead of tracing cables, cutting troubleshooting time in half.
Automated daily backups cover every device across all campuses with version history and diff comparison. When a misconfigured core switch caused a campus-wide outage during finals, the team restored the correct config in 90 seconds.
Auto-discovery across 32 buildings with location tagging, firmware tracking, and VLAN assignment.
