MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS FORMULA ONE TEAM ACCELERATES
TRACK SIDE RACE PERFORMANCE WITH PURE STORAGE
Pure Storage has announced a global partnership with the Mercedes
AMG Petronas Formula One Team. With Pure Storage, the team
is accelerating analysis of data centric transactions that impact car
performance and lap time, and is raising the bar for mission critical
business applications that underpin the entire organisation.
Mercedes AMG Petronas runs two FlashArray//m70 arrays
and four FlashArray//m20 arrays in three pairs, with no single
instance anywhere, while leveraging FlashStack CI, Pure’s flexible,
all-flash converged infrastructure solution. The workloads running
on FlashArray//m70 were initially deployed on FlashArray 450s,
until Mercedes AMG Petronas leveraged Evergreen Storage to add
40TB of capacity during normal production and business hours
without disruption.
Mercedes AMG Petronas sought to future proof and incorporate
new innovation into an infrastructure platform that requires
continuous evolution to support the operational demands of a racing
o rganisation built to win. Seeking to enhance service availability and
prevent disruption, Mercedes AMG Petronas considered a number of
different solutions, and ultimately selected Pure Storage. Although
Mercedes AMG Petronas initially sought a solution that could
address primarily performance issues, the team soon realised it could
cut through all performance issues while managing cost, with true
simplicity from Pure.
