The Kraft Group needs technology to simplify delivery of its broadcast capabilities at Gillette Stadium and beyond.
About The Kraft Group
A diversified holding company, the Kraft Group’s family of businesses includes the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium, along with ventures in manufacturing, real estate and other industries.
Challenge
To efficiently deliver world-class digital content at Gillette Stadium for all events on its busy, multi-use calendar, the Kraft Group needed to shift to in-house production.
- A historical lack of in-house production facilities meant broadcast trucks needed to be brought in on a weekly basis, creating operational inefficiencies.
- Downtime for upgrades was limited due to frequent and diverse events like football, soccer, and concerts.
- Transitioning from outsourced to in-house broadcast productions required scalable infrastructure.
Solution
Gillette Stadium provides an unforgettably smooth experience for potentially more than 60,000 guests at each event—supported by advanced, reliable technology:
- Cisco IP Fabric for Media powers in-house broadcast production and 4K video delivery.
- Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches deliver industry-leading data centre performance from the inside out for a network that unites data centre and cloud.
- Cisco Nexus Dashboard is a one-stop shop to configure, operate, and analyse data centre networks across LAN, SAN, IPFM, and AI/ML fabrics.
- Cisco Secure Firewall provides intelligent control points, unified, dynamic policies, and threat visibility.
- Cisco Services combine human expertise with AI efficiency to deliver deployment simplicity and accelerate time to value.
