Netier is proud to be named the official technology partner for the 2025 EROAD Australian Rally Championship (ARC), a return to six years of unwavering support for one of Australia’s premier motorsport events. This enduring partnership is about providing IT support and solving real-world challenges faced by large-scale events like the ARC.
Each ARC event produces an immense volume of data, from high-definition race footage to telemetry and logistics information. Managing and protecting this data becomes a serious challenge without a secure, high-speed infrastructure. That’s where Netier steps in—delivering the digital backbone for the ARC. This blog details how we helped the crew run and record races efficiently towards the chequered flag.
Why the ARC Needs Technology Partners
Large-scale events like the ARC involve multiple moving parts. Each event spans six rounds dotted around the country, in some challenging locations, featuring dozens of competing cars and multiple timed stages. With so many teams, vehicles, and races unfolding simultaneously, the demand for seamless digital coordination is immense. Without a dedicated technology partner, these events would face significant risks: data loss, cyber threats, poor live-stream quality, and communication breakdowns.
A technology partner can provide the ARC with a fully integrated IT solution that addresses the unique challenges of managing large-scale events. At Netier, our technology supports collaboration between event teams, ensuring every stakeholder—whether on the track, in the media centre, or behind the scenes—has instant, reliable access to the information they need. We enable uninterrupted live streaming and real-time data access, critical for the ARC’s media production teams and race engineers, who depend on split-second data to guide strategy.
Cyber security is another priority. An outsourced tech partner can offer workable solutions, including enterprise-grade protections to safeguard the ARC’s data from breaches and cyber threats, as well as secure sensitive race analytics, logistics data, and media content. Having infrastructure designed to be highly scalable and growing alongside the championship allows for digital expansion. Technology partnerships like this are not optional anymore—they’re vital for keeping large events agile, compliant, and competitive.
The Data Challenge Behind the ARC
Every ARC event generates terabytes of data, from high-resolution race footage and live-streamed content to real-time telemetry and logistical information. This data must be processed, stored, and accessed securely, often in remote locations with limited connectivity. Media teams capture large volumes of photos and videos, race engineers rely on live data to adjust strategies mid-race, and event organisers handle vital logistics and compliance data—all of which must be stored securely and accessed instantly.
Standard IT solutions are not sufficient in these high-pressure environments. Without tailored, secure IT infrastructure, the risk of data loss, downtime, or security breaches is significant. That’s where Netier’s expertise and tailored solutions make the difference.
Netier Powers the ARC with High-Speed, Secure Rally Storage
To meet their growing technological needs, Netier has equipped the ARC with a purpose-built, high-speed storage solution capable of handling the championship’s evolving digital needs. Each rally event generates terabytes of content that cannot be recaptured if lost.
Here’s how we solved this challenge:
- 20Gbps Network Speeds: Our solid-state network storage solution delivers up to 20Gbps speeds, ensuring that large media files, analytics, and compliance data can be accessed and transferred instantly—without bottlenecks.
- 8 Terabytes of Redundant Solid-State Storage: This storage capacity ensures all data is securely stored with built-in redundancy. It safeguards against data loss and ensures media files are accessible across both PC and Mac platforms—a crucial feature for the ARC’s Innate Motorsport administration, marketing, and video streaming teams.
- Portable, Durable Hardware: Our storage infrastructure is designed to withstand transport across rugged rally locations. Dust, bumps, and extreme environments don’t affect its reliability—keeping data secure, even in the toughest conditions.
Netier’s technology allows media teams to edit footage in real-time, marketers to share content across digital channels quickly, and operations teams to focus on delivering a successful event, not troubleshooting IT issues.
How to Store Your Data Safely for a Large-Scale Event
Effective data storage for large events means more than having enough space. It requires redundancy, speed, security, and accessibility. Our enterprise-grade cyber security solutions protect against threats, ensuring data integrity and compliance with privacy standards. Data security and accessibility are top priorities when managing a large-scale event.
Storing data safely means:
- Implementing Redundant Systems: Redundancy always ensures a backup in case of hardware failure. Netier’s 8TB redundant solid-state solution delivers just that—preventing data loss at any stage.
- Using Enterprise-Grade Cyber security: ARC data is protected against cyber threats. Whether it’s media content, logistics, or compliance documentation, all data is safeguarded against unauthorised access.
- Ensuring Cross-Platform Accessibility: Solutions support PC and Mac users, ensuring media, marketing, and operations teams can access and edit data on their preferred devices—critical for seamless collaboration.
- Deploying Portable, Rugged Systems: Large-scale events require infrastructure that can be set up quickly and function reliably in remote, unpredictable environments.
How Netier Solves IT Challenges in Difficult Environments
Rallying is not your typical corporate environment. The ARC operates in remote, rugged, fast-changing conditions where conventional IT systems often fall short. An outsourced tech partner can provide solutions specifically engineered for portable and durable conditions, withstanding rough transport and harsh conditions without compromising performance. The 20Gbps network speeds ensure data flows smoothly and efficiently, enabling real-time decision-making and content delivery.
Our enterprise-grade cyber security measures safeguard data from cyber threats, while redundant storage ensures that data remains intact and accessible even during hardware issues, regardless of location or complexity.
Beyond Motorsport: Who Else Needs Secure IT Solutions?
While our work with the ARC showcases how secure IT infrastructure can support high-speed, high-pressure environments, it’s not just motorsport that benefits from this kind of setup.
Many industries deal with the same pain points—large volumes of critical data, teams working in remote or unpredictable environments, and a growing need for cyber security that keeps pace with operations. The need for scalable, resilient tech isn’t limited to racetracks.
Here’s how we help other sectors stay secure, connected, and in control:
Construction
Building projects are complex beasts. They span multiple locations, rely on precise coordination, and often operate in less-than-ideal conditions—dusty sites, temporary offices, and unreliable connectivity. We’ve worked with construction teams to deliver rugged, resilient infrastructure that keeps project timelines on track and data flowing between teams. With scalable cloud solutions and 24/7 support, we make sure IT isn’t the thing holding back progress.

Transport
In the world of logistics and transport, timing is everything. Systems need to talk to each other, fleets need to stay connected, and operational data has to be secure yet accessible. We help transport operators manage and scale their IT environments, with real-time visibility and cyber security measures built to handle growing complexity.

Renewable Energy
Renewable energy projects often run in isolated areas where traditional IT setups simply don’t cut it. These teams need connectivity that works, infrastructure that scales, and protection for sensitive stakeholder data. We’ve helped organisations in this space build IT systems that support program growth, maintain uptime, and keep community-focused missions running smoothly.
