Project Tasks

Video data in the HD format, the racing simulations, design models given tests in wind tunnels and telemetry should not only be stored and be transferred between all team members, helping to win, but also to conform to requirements of the International automobile federation (FIA) imposed to them. As noted in Renault Sport Racing, data are an important component of a victory, and their loss inevitably leads to defeat.

Thanks to implementation in the IT infrastructure of Acronis Storage and Acronis Backup Cloud in Renault Sport Racing expect to avoid the idle times and interruptions caused by data loss.

We are glad that the Acronis company became our technology partner. Our command works in very competitive environment, and we have no right to lose even byte of data. Being the world leader in the field of data protection with work experience in automotive industry, Acronis optimum is suitable for protection of our systems against the idle times caused by data loss — Cyril Abitebul, the chief executive of a racing command of Formula 1 of Renault Sport said.
