Case Study: AVL (global powertrain & testing leader) achieves fast, low‑impact, cross‑platform protection with ESET's NOD32

AVL - Customer Case Study

AVL, the world’s largest private independent developer of powertrain systems (headquartered in Graz, operating across 45 companies) faced processor overload and potential downtime from its previous antivirus, which threatened the accuracy and availability of its business-critical testing systems. To protect its 13,250-seat, multi‑OS environment (including Windows NT, Linux and Debian), AVL selected ESET’s Business Edition of NOD32 Antivirus.

ESET rolled out its lightweight NOD32 solution worldwide in just three months, using its high-performance ThreatSense Engine and customized support to ensure scans did not impair testing performance; the deployment covered all 13,250 seats and included round-the-clock global support. As a result, ESET delivered reliable, low‑impact protection across AVL’s diverse systems—resolving the prior performance issues and safeguarding uptime and measurement accuracy.
