Case Study: Kingspan achieves faster network troubleshooting and application performance visibility with VIAVI Solutions Observer Platform

Kingspan - Customer Case Study

Kingspan, a global manufacturer of building solutions, faced significant network performance and troubleshooting challenges during a large-scale data center consolidation. Their systems engineer, Peter Donnelly, needed to identify the root causes of application performance issues across a highly distributed environment. VIAVI Solutions provided its Observer Platform and GigaStor appliances to address these visibility challenges.

The solution from VIAVI provided Kingspan with deep packet capture and post-event analysis, which proved instrumental in troubleshooting. The team used it to reconfigure a misbehaving security application, saving bandwidth, and to resolve critical application login issues. The tools were central to the consolidation effort, allowing them to baseline performance and validate changes. This resulted in over 20% reduced operating costs and ensured a positive end-user experience throughout the infrastructure transformation.
