Red Bull Announce Platform Computing Expansion Agreement

Red Bull Racing is delighted

to announce that Platform Computing has expanded its partnership with the team for the

2011 season.

Red Bull Racing and Platform Computing have a history of successfully working together to

implement solutions which have greatly benefited Red Bull Racing’s computation fluid

dynamics (CFD) and design groups. As part of the new agreement, Red Bull Racing will be

using additional Platform Computing products, including Platform LSF, Platform Process

Manager and Platform ISF, which help streamline and automate Red Bull Racing’s complex

analyses. The Platform Computing brand will also be visible on the side of the RB7 for the

2011 season.

Specialising in software solutions for High Performance Computing (HPC) environments,

Platform’s software is designed to increase productivity without the need for additional

investment in hardware and infrastructure. As such, it will be instrumental in helping Red Bull

Racing to race at the front of Formula One.

Team Principal Christian Horner said: “The announcement that Platform Computing will

continue as a Red Bull Racing Innovation Partner in 2011 is good news for the whole team.

Formula One is at the forefront of technology and keeping pace with your rivals in the face of

rapid and constant development is key to a successful season. Platform Computing’s

association with Red Bull Racing has been an integral part of our development and we’re

delighted they will partner us again this year.”

Christoph Reichert, Vice President HPC EMEA, Platform Computing said: “Red Bull consistently

pushes the envelope when it comes to how its Formula One team approaches racing and

winning on the Grand Prix circuit, as well as with how the team uses technology to develop

state-of-the-art race cars. We’re excited to be extending our longstanding partnership with Red

Bull Racing both on the sponsorship side and through Red Bull Racing’s continued adoption of

Platform Computing’s products to support their computing infrastructure and process design

simulations in a faster, more efficient manner. We look forward to our continued relationship

as Red Bull Racing looks to adopt new technologies that push their designs and race cars

even further toward the finish line.”
