Research & Universities

Vast, open campus networks, made visible and manageable without closing them down.

[ The reality ]

Open by design, and impossible to see whole.

Universities run some of the most complex networks in existence: large campus fabrics, specialised lab equipment, HPC clusters, and decentralised management across faculties. That openness is the point, and it's what makes them hard to see.

Campus scale
Thousands of ports, hundreds of switches, multiple buildings: too large to manage by hand, too critical to leave unmonitored.
Specialised equipment
Lab instruments, HPC nodes and research devices, each with unique connectivity. Many can't run agents or standard policies.
Decentralised operations
Faculties and research groups connect their own devices; central IT needs visibility without restricting autonomy.
[ What narrowin brings ]

Campus-scale visibility, without restricting the research.

See the whole network and bring order to addressing: the products and services that fit a research environment.

Products
Explorer Discover every device across buildings and faculties: topology, traffic and unauthorised equipment. Explore → IPAM Live IP address management across the campus, fed by real discovery data, not spreadsheets. Explore → Diode Protect sensitive lab equipment that can't be patched: inline microsegmentation, no config change. Explore →
Services
Network Assessment A complete picture of a campus network that grew organically over decades. See the service → Network & Security Lab Virtualised IT and OT networks, to validate designs, rehearse failures and train. See the service →
