Red Bull

A GLOBAL NETWORK FOR RED BULL

NTS takes care of the entire network operation for the entire Red Bull Group with its 340 locations globally.

The fact that one provides IT services for one of the most famous companies in the world vouches for a certain standard of quality. “NTS has done a lot of things right over the past few years”, says the IT Manager of the Red Bull Group and he adds, “We are for sure an attractive, but also a very demanding customer with regard to quality and speed”. These are exactly the challenges that are mastered by NTS with a reliable and sustainable network operation for 340 Red Bull locations – globally and 24/7. NTS not only takes care of the local networks of the Red Bull Group but also of the connections between the individual locations.

Red Bull always gives the highest priority to the maximal WLAN requirements, reliability, and system availability – especially during events where NTS is called in as support, no matter if we talk about soccer, alpine world cup skiing events or Formula 1 races. The challenges during live events are considerable. Therefore, it is necessary that the network infrastructure is safe and stable. “If we had problems with the network, nothing would work”, stresses the Head of IT Infrastructure.

Safety First applies to Red Bull as well. In the field of security NTS supports Red Bull with an efficient and proactive reaction to attacks from the outside. NTS is globally taking care of the firewall infrastructure of Red Bull, from the smallest office all the way to the larger locations, such as the headquarter in Fuschl or the newly erected production location in Glendale, Arizona.

With growing challenges, scalable and innovative network solutions are on the increase. Red Bull counts on 340 locations on Cisco Meraki, a network solution that is completely administered via the Cloud. No matter when, no matter where – you can manage locations globally from a central platform with Cisco Meraki. The start-up is done via a Zero-Touch enrolment – flexibility is priority with this solution. Currently, there are 2.600 Meraki devices active.
