Case Study: Altibox achieves automated, accurate network diagramming and significant time and cost savings with Riverbed SteelCentral NetMapper

Altibox Automates Network Diagramming with Riverbed SteelCentral NetMapper

Altibox, a subsidiary of Norwegian energy and telecom group Lyse, operates a rapidly growing multi-service IP/MPLS network that serves 36 regional partners and adds thousands of customers each month. Maintaining separate, up-to-date Visio diagrams for each partner network, the data center and the MPLS core was labor-intensive and diagrams were often obsolete before completion, hampering troubleshooting and capacity planning.

Altibox deployed Riverbed SteelCentral NetMapper to automate nightly discovery and generate engineering‑quality Visio diagrams that combine physical and logical connectivity plus detailed routing and VLAN information. The automated diagrams give the team new layer‑2/3 visibility, faster troubleshooting and planning, and have delivered significant time and cost savings while keeping all partner networks accurately documented.
