AS7599 AMSNET-NZ-AP Advanced Management Systems Ltd

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 202.27.8.0/24 and nothing else, and the reverse DNS on it resolves under ams.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 202.27 allocation, 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.
