Verification takes two
One engineer at the device, one at the management platform, and a phone call between them for every single unit.
Graftix Live · Add-on
Graftix Live connects to your network management platform and paints real device status onto the drawing. See what is up, what is unreachable and what was never patched, without opening a laptop or raising a ticket.
From £10 per device per year

The problem
Someone is on a ladder in a ceiling void. Someone else is at a laptop in the comms room reading a controller. They are on the phone to each other, and one of them is reading out a MAC address. This is how most of the industry still verifies an install.
Before
One engineer at the device, one at the management platform, and a phone call between them for every single unit.
Before
The install schedule says a device is in. The controller says nothing is there. Working out which is right takes a site visit.
Before
Hostnames get set by hand, in a hurry, from a printout. Six weeks later nothing matches the drawing any more.
How it works
Step 01
Authorise Graftix against your network management platform with a read key. No agents, no appliance, nothing installed on your network.
Step 02
Devices are matched to the tasks already pinned on your drawings, so the estate and the install schedule become one dataset.
Step 03
Status appears on the plan and updates itself. Online, unreachable, never seen. Colour-coded, at the coordinate it lives at.
Step 04
Commission a device in Graftix and push the hostname back to the controller, so naming matches the drawing from day one.
Extreme Networks XIQ
Graftix Live was built during a real infrastructure refresh across eighty-plus buildings, not in a lab. The first integration is Extreme Networks XIQ, with read-only status pull and hostname push back through the platform API.

Who it is for
Universities, hospitals and large sites where the device count runs into thousands across dozens of buildings.
Where you are responsible for an estate after handover and need to prove what is up without a site visit.
Long programmes where devices go live in waves and the picture changes every week.
Graftix Live
Live is priced per device per year and set up per estate, so the sensible first step is a conversation about what platform you are on and how many devices are in scope.
