HP joins Formula 1

Last week HP announced a two year partnership with the ING Renault F1 team. The announcement was made at the launch of Renault’s new car, the R29, at Renault’s office in Paris.

Innovation, technology and performance are key criteria that both companies share and are critical to the success in the worlds of Formula 1 and technology. HP supplies highly reliable, performance-engineered products and solutions to support the racing stable on its course to victory.

To effectively conduct the necessary calculations and stimulations in the development of Renault’s single-seaters, HP supplied the test facility in the UK with HP ProLiant BL456c servers to integrate the workflow and support.

For the conception and analysis office, HP has provided HP xw6600 workstations with the latest technology and 3D notion. The HP 8530w mobile workstations allow for the recovery and analysis of data when the cars are at the racetrack.

“This partnership is proof of HP’s technology and innovation leadership in a highly performance-driven environment,” said Eric Cador, senior vice president, HP PSG EMEA. “The quality and reliability of our products and solutions supplied to the ING Renault F1 Team will help to further improve their competitive performance on the track.”
