IBM and Red Bull Racing together in 2017
Formula One is an incredibly fast-moving sport. So is the speed of innovation. Fast, highly accurate data-driven decision making, from design and development processes right through to on-track performance, is critical for success.
The Red Bull Racing Formula One Team eagerly prepares for the first race of the season with 52 race wins, 8 World Championships and a successful 2016 F1 season behind them. IBM has signed an agreement to continue to support and help manage some of the team’s software-defined IT infrastructure needs from high-performance computing resource utilization right through to real-time processing of massive amounts of data with IBM Spectrum Computing solutions.
Matt Cadieux, CIO of Red Bull Racing says, “IBM Spectrum products have been part of our IT infrastructure for some time, and have enabled us to make significant increases in throughput on our CFD simulation and big data handling capabilities. We’re delighted to continue the partnership for another year and will work together to further improve capabilities and optimize utilization of our HPC (high-performance computing) resource.”
Two very unique organizations fueled by technology and innovation continue to collaborate and develop software solutions together. This extended association in 2017 also sees a change of on-car and garage branding to include the IBM ‘8-bar’ logo.
Meg Murphy, CMO of IBM Systems says, “We are very committed and extremely excited to renew our relationship with Red Bull Racing. Driven by data, Formula 1 motor racing is the premier example of global real-time manufacturing, logistics and decision-making. Red Bull Racing uses IBM Spectrum Computing and IBM Spectrum Scale every day to find the cognitive insights and true advantage in their massive amount of global data. Our joint work helps Red Bull Racing build faster cars and employ real-time decision making, critical to on-track performance and success. It’s a true privilege to work with a partner like Red Bull Racing and we look forward to what promises to be a great season.”
