Racing into the Future of Formula 1 and
Multi-Cloud Innovation
The Formula 1 season has been described as a traveling circus.
Team members across varying functions tackle the extraordinary feat
of moving and setting up all necessary infrastructure to execute
their race plan. They do this over 20 times over the course of a
season – across up to 20 countries and 5 continents.
As an Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team, VMware
multi-cloud solutions will help McLaren operate with speed and
drive confidence no matter where the team is racing in the world.
VMware will provide the flexibility AND control McLaren requires
for their apps and data, helping give them a competitive edge to
accelerate performance.
Matt Dennington, Director of Partnerships, McLaren Racing, said,
“It’s fantastic to be partnering with VMware, whose technology will
play a critical role in connecting the McLaren F1 Team. We operate
at race pace on and off-track, and this partnership will help keep
us agile across the apps we need, from any device and location, to
bring our best on race day.”
A Partnership for High Performance
VMware and McLaren Racing are embarking on a technology-fueled
journey that will empower McLaren Racing to freely and flexibly
deliver, manage, connect, and protect the cloud-based apps and
workloads their teams rely on, wherever they are, at race
speed.
The McLaren Racing team will leverage VMware technology to
power:
- App Optimization Across Multiple Clouds: McLaren Racing
runs apps in their own datacenters, in the public cloud, and at the
edge trackside. VMware’s multi-cloud solutions will enable McLaren
Racing to better understand, optimize, and secure their cloud
footprint today, while architecting their environment for the
future to meet the rapidly changing demands of a team operating at
the cutting edge of technology.
- Edge Connectivity: VMware SD-WAN will enable McLaren
Racing to utilize bonded networks and smart traffic shaping to
deliver reliable connectivity at the extreme edge.
- An Anywhere Workspace: VMware Anywhere Workspace will
enable McLaren Racing to deliver a seamless user experience to team
members as they access apps from multiple devices both at base, and
on the road. This combined with zero touch device provisioning,
will enable IT to provide support for their global team while
gaining full visibility of both device performance and user
experience.
Laura Heisman, Chief Marketing Officer, VMware (LinkedIn,
Twitter), said, “McLaren Racing and VMware share a commitment to
excellence and a desire to push the boundaries of what is possible
to take on the biggest challenges. Through this multi-year deal, we
will help drive innovation for the McLaren Racing team in their
pursuit of a world championship.”
