Intelligent Data Infrastructure for Porsche Motorsport
Holistic data solutions from NetApp to boost performance on the race track.
An intelligent data infrastructure gives the Formula E team real-time access to the data Porsche needs to determine race strategy, make data-based decisions and improve results. For example, data-supported simulations help the team to find the best time to activate Formula E Attack Mode. This releases an additional 50 kilowatts of motor power for a well-timed burst of speed.
Reliable access to data
Gabie Boko from NetApp: “In motorsport, huge amounts of data are generated during and even before a race. It helps to develop a race strategy and react to changing conditions. The Porsche Motorsport teams therefore need reliable and immediate access to their data in order to remain competitive. As a provider of unified data storage, NetApp can help Porsche Motorsport share and analyze data in its complex and high-performance IT environment wherever and whenever needed – from the workshop to the race track.”
Among other things, Porsche Motorsport uses BlueXP to create a unified management layer for managing its data in the hybrid cloud. This allows Porsche Motorsport, for example, to create local copies of data sets to perform low-latency analysis for real-time decisions on the track.
