Case Study: Aston Martin Racing achieves faster LAN testing with Spirent Velocity iTest

Aston Martin Racing - Customer Case Study

Aston Martin Racing, the motorsport division of the iconic automotive brand, relied on a high-speed local area network (LAN) at race tracks but faced the challenge of it taking over an hour each day to manually test its complex configuration. This labor-intensive process, which involved checking up to 150 endpoints and multiple VLANs, tied up valuable engineering resources and introduced significant risk that a network failure could jeopardize their performance. To overcome this, they turned to vendor Spirent Communications for a solution.

Spirent implemented its Velocity iTest automation platform, working with their Professional Services team to create a set of customized, automated tests. This solution reduced the network verification process from over an hour to just a few minutes, providing a comprehensive report that minimized the risk of human error. The measurable results for Aston Martin Racing included major time savings and the reassurance of a reliably configured network at every global racing event, thanks to Spirent's solution.
