NetApp helps Aston Martin accelerate data-driven operations

Modern Formula One teams are increasingly reliant on data to drive performance, with engineers processing vast quantities of information from cars, simulations, and trackside operations in real time. As the volume and complexity of this data continues to grow, the ability to move, manage, and analyse information efficiently has become a critical competitive advantage.

For the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, this challenge extends far beyond the race circuit. Data generated during a race weekend must be shared seamlessly between trackside engineers, the team’s technology campus in Silverstone, and cloud-based environments used for analysis, simulation, and development.

Supporting this infrastructure is NetApp, a US provider of data storage and cloud infrastructure management, which serves as the team’s Global Data Infrastructure Partner.
