“
We’re delighted to welcome
Pure Storage as a partner of the
Mercedes team,” said Toto Wolff,
Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport.
“Technology is fundamental to our
success – it enables us to perform across
our business and ultimately on track.
As we are predicting one of the most
challenging and competitive seasons
in the year ahead, Pure will give us
the power we need to tackle our most
demanding data challenges.”
Today, 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
leveraged Evergreen Storage to add
40TB of capacity during normal
production and business hours without
disruption.
