Case Study: Leeds United Football Club achieves zero-downtime stadium networking with Allied Telesis

Leeds United Football Club Trust achieves 15 years of zero-downtime stadium networking with Allied Telesis

Leeds United Football Club Trust required a highly resilient and low-maintenance network to support all operations at their Elland Road Stadium and training grounds, from security and ticketing to hospitality and broadcasting. The challenge was to ensure zero-downtime, faultless network performance for these critical systems. They partnered with vendor Allied Telesis and systems integrator NETprotocol to design and implement a solution.

The solution from Allied Telesis featured a robust network core with diversely routed fibre connections, Allied Telesis switches supporting Power over Ethernet for hundreds of CCTV cameras, and the Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) with Vista Manager EX for automated, single-pane-of-glass management. The result was over a decade and a half of continuous network operation with no downtime, providing excellent performance, streamlined management, and the peace of mind that all stadium operations are reliably supported.
