Red Bull Announce Platform Computing Expansion Agreement
March 10, 2011
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.”
