# Fluidrange

*/Startups/Fluidrange*

## Startup Overview

The platform maps and reallocates subnets across multi-cloud infrastructure dynamically. It acts as an active control plane for network engineering, instantly identifying available IP blocks and configuring them across multiple provider environments to prevent address exhaustion and routing conflicts.

Cloud architects face highly fragmented IP allocation when scaling workloads across distributed networks. Relying on static IPAM spreadsheets to track address assignments creates rigid configuration bottlenecks, resulting in overlapping subnets, deployment delays, and stranded IP ranges.

Unlike legacy management suites like Infoblox or SolarWinds that operate as passive registries, the architecture is fully multi-cloud native and capable of automated subnet reallocation. It shifts network boundaries and provisions address space on demand, adjusting to changing workload requirements without requiring manual updates from network engineers.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 14-day visibility pilot scoped to two cloud providers and up to 1,000 subnets, targeting the automated identification of at least 3 undocumented CIDR overlaps.
- A 45-day automation pilot in a staging environment, targeting the successful execution of 50 dynamic subnet reallocations via pull requests with exactly zero routing failures or rollbacks.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 0 overlapping IP incidents during complex multi-cloud migrations
- Aim: 30% reclamation of abandoned or orphaned IP space across fragmented AWS and Azure environments
- Target: Under 5 minutes for subnet provisioning and allocation via automated GitOps pull requests
- Aim: 100% cryptographic audit trail coverage for pre- and post-allocation CIDR states logged to SIEM
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market financial technology company (Cloud Architect) attempting a multi-cloud migration, targeting the discovery and mapping of 2,000 fragmented subnets across AWS and Azure to resolve hidden CIDR overlaps prior to deployment.
- A large healthcare enterprise (Director of Network Engineering) heavily reliant on legacy on-premise IPAM, targeting the successful integration of Fluidrange as a multi-cloud orchestration layer that pushes API updates to Infoblox without requiring a system replacement.
- A high-growth SaaS provider (DevOps Lead) transitioning from manual spreadsheet tracking, targeting the implementation of Fluidrange's dry-run advisory mode to reduce subnet provisioning times from several days to under five minutes using GitOps pull requests.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Cloud Architect: Expressing relief that native AWS and Azure IPAM limitations are bypassed by a single source of truth that instantly flags subnet exhaustion.
- VP of Infrastructure: Validating the safety of the system by praising the dry-run advisory mode, noting that requiring human GitOps approval before cloud state changes removes the risk of production routing failures.
- Network Security Engineer: Highlighting the compliance value of cryptographically signed mapping changes that flow directly into their existing SIEM workflow.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Cloud providers heavily rate-limit or deprecate the core networking APIs required for automated subnet reallocation. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Enterprise network security teams block write-access for automated subnet mutation, restricting the product to a read-only mapping tool. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: A bug in the dynamic allocation logic creates an IP overlap that partitions a customer production VPC. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Legacy DDI vendors release native multi-cloud extensions before the product captures significant market share. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
