Since its founding in 1970, the passion for racing has been at the heart of Sauber.

Their Goal

Using data for better results on the track.

Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN’s goal is to better manage, store, and access mass amounts of unstructured data generated by the team in a reliable and secure manner. This data will help provide insights that deliver better results on the track.

Their Problem

A deluge of sensor data to store and make sense of.

In a sport that generates gigabytes upon gigabytes of data from sensors on the cars and at the factory, data storage presents several challenges. These include increasing cloud storage or on-premises storage costs, unpredictable TCO, and data management complexity in the cloud.

Their Solution
