The Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team is proud to announce a new relationship with Juniper Networks, which will serve as the team’s Official Networking Equipment Vendor.

Juniper Networks provides tens of thousands of mission-critical companies, cloud operators, and telecom carriers across the world with simple yet innovative networking innovation.

Jefferson Slack, Managing Director Commercial & Marketing, Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team, said:

“We’re delighted to be able to announce this new partnership with Juniper Networks. A Formula One team’s secure networking needs are extensive: we need the ultimate in performance, flexibility and intelligence – all delivered with zero compromise. And that’s as applicable to our trackside operations, which demand immediate, fault intolerant response, as it is to our factory networking requirements, which need to be robust yet fully scalable. Juniper’s adaptive and automated solutions are the perfect fit for our new smart factory build.”

Mike Marcellin, SVP & Chief Marketing Officer, Juniper Networks, said:

“We’re thrilled to be joining this partnership with the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team. The values that power our two organizations are truly aligned and I’m excited about the possibilities that lie ahead—for example, working together on a range of sustainability projects that are equally relevant in their world and ours. Like virtually every organization today, the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team is reliant on its network and therefore expects a consistently superior user experience for every employee, including engineers, drivers, technicians, race strategists and administrators. Juniper looks forward to delivering an industry-leading networking portfolio to the team as it continues its ambitious expansion and development programme.”

Juniper will provide an agile and highly automated network infrastructure across the team’s new technological campus, which is expected to be completed in early 2023.

The decision to partner with Juniper was simple for Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team: with an increased emphasis on secure networking to underpin any modern business, the team wanted to work with a supplier that understood the benefits of secure, cloud-based wired and wireless networking solutions that could withstand the sophisticated, data-intensive requirements of a Formula One team operating across multiple continents.

At this weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Juniper Networks’ branding will be shown on the car’s Halo for the first time on the AMR21.
