Case Studies

U.S. Public School District (Georgia)

ADV NET MANAGEMENT implemented phpIPAM for a K-12 district with over 2,500 endpoints. The team gained visibility across all school campuses and automated subnet discovery using NMP and ping scans, esulting in a 70% reduction in manual documentation work

U.S. Engineering Firm (Texas)

An engineering consultancy with multiple branch offices deployed php IPAM through ADV NET MANAGEMENT to centralize IP address management. The system allowed better planning forinternal infrastructure upgrades and provided unified DNS/DHCP documentation.

Canadian Startup ISP (Alberta)

A regional internet service provider chose phpIPAM for its IPv6 support and low-cost operation.With ADV NET MANAGEMENT’s help, they created custom views for customer blocks and integrated their provisioning scripts using the phpIPAM REST API.
