Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Advanced Management Systems (AMS)
enterprise legacy
Advanced Management Systems Ltd (AMSNET-NZ-AP), an Auckland software company — not an internet provider. AMS builds HR/payroll and life-insurance policy administration systems used by New Zealand health, government and financial organisations, and has been in business since 1979.
What it's used for
- The company's own corporate network and hosted application systems. The AS announces a single
202.27.8.0/24and nothing else, and the reverse DNS on it resolves underams.co.nz— for example a demo host for the company's software.
Notable
- An IP here is corporate/enterprise space belonging to one software company, not an ISP pool. There is no subscriber addressing and no third-party hosting shape here; it is an end-site AS, the sort a company runs when it wants its own multi-homed presence.
- The single /24 is an early New Zealand
202.27allocation, consistent with a company that has held its address space for a long time.
Interesting
- AMS was acquired by Canada's Volaris Group in 2021 but continues to operate under its own brand, which is why the registry and the reverse DNS both still say AMS.

Reputation
Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
