Made4Graph, the tool your ISP needs to manage your users.

We know that every small ISP starts with Mikrotik equipment and that it has a very intuitive “graphic” interface (via its own application, Winbox). Many ISPs grow with these facilities in hand and end up using them for various operational and often administrative tasks.

There have been situations where I’ve known ISPs that based their entire management on the functionality that “Winbox” brings, even the user authorization part. Finally, these ISPs and providers end up growing and the size of Mikrotik equipment no longer satisfies some performance and scalability requirements such as the number of possible users per router (ensuring delivery quality) and this ends up forcing it to use other solutions to supply the demands of your business.

When the ISP gets to that point, we know that it ends up buying equipment from manufacturers like Huawei, Juniper, Cisco and the like. I once read something like “Huawei is the new bacon of Brazilian Internet providers.” (Author unknown) in Brazil Peering Forum, however we know that these devices do not have a “graphical interface” and their management is done entirely via the CLI, this ends up becoming one of the great limitations of small, medium and even large companies to replace their routers because the fact of having to deal with equipment via CLI implies a series of other issues such as training and qualification of the team, changes in internal processes to be compatible with the possibilities and information presented by the router, etc., which sometimes do not enter into the account of the ISP and provider.

Thus, Made4Graph was born. Made4Graph came from the need of one of our customers, precisely, to deal more “quietly” with a BNG/BRAS that only had access via CLI (Command Line). Far from wanting to be a similar software or “imitate” Winbox, in Made4Graph we bring a single point of management for BNGs/BRAS with support for the main manufacturers in the market and recently support for the TR069 protocol for managing even the end user’s CPE.

Underneath, we have a software that “talks” with the Radius of the ISP and with the BNGs/B-RAS of the network, orchestrating a precise collection of information from the assets involved and bringing all of this in a coherent and simple way to understand in a WEB page . As I said, far from wanting to be a “Winbox”, we bring in Made4Graph a tool to add to the ISP’s support body with data and actions that aim to minimize the operational cost of support and “make everyone’s life easier”.
