CASE STUDY
“Pure and The Mercedes AMG Petronas
Formula One Team found common
ground in a mutual everyday mission
– to push the boundaries of what’s
possible,” said Jonathan Martin, CMO,
Pure Storage. “When fractions of
seconds mean the difference between
success and second best, the reliability,
simplicity and speed Pure Storage
delivers is paramount. Pure is proud to
provide Mercedes…confidence in the
performance of its storage platform, so
that the team’s primary focus can be
performance where it matters most – on
the track.”
“Before Pure, we virtualised storage to
the point where we could introduce
whatever vendor was right at the
time. We soon realised that building a
nuanced architecture on an intricate
stack translated into building something
far too complex – complexity on top of
complexity,” said Matt Harris, Head of IT
at the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula
One Team. “The choice was clear
once we realised we could eliminate
bulky, heavy hardware, improve our
performance and actually save money
taking the technology with us around
the world.”
Pure Storage now helps to drive
meaningful results including:
• Boosts to productivity leading to an
accelerated kick-off of a businesscritical project initially slated for 2017
• Immediate time to value by getting
