Hewlett Packard (HPE) & Sauber Tie Up to Enhance Formula One

Read MoreHide Full Article

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE - Free Report) has collaborated with Sauber Motorsport AG to enhance the aerodynamics of the latter’s Formula One race cars. These two companies have jointly developed a high-performance computing (HPC) system for computational fluid dynamics, which has been deployed in Sauber’s wind tunnel building.

The HPC system for computational fluid dynamics has HPE GreenLake in its core that enables Sauber to store and process data inside its own facility. This setup also maintains low latency, enabling Sauber’s engineers to swiftly adapt capacity while complying with the regulations set by the International Automobile Federation.

Sauber has integrated 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, Cray ClusterStor E1000 storage and HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers. Furthermore, HPE Greenlake will enable the automotive company to trim down capital expenses by granting access to cloud technology through a pay-as-you-go model.

HPE has achieved several customer wins in high-performance computation, such as France-based CRIANN's Austral Supercomputer, which incorporates HPE Cray supercomputing technology and the HPE Machine Learning Development Environment at its core. Additionally, the company has collaborated with the University of Bristol to build the United Kingdom's most powerful supercomputer, backed by a £225 million investment from the U.K. government.

HPE is advancing significantly in its Cloud segment through HPE GreenLake. Besides Sauber, this year has seen notable organizations, such as Dubai Islamic Bank, Wihuri Group, Inedys, Fastweb (an Italian Telecom Operator), Ashok Leyland, DSolution (a Swedish service provider) and Toppan Forms, adopting GreenLake.

HPE Greenlake is strengthening the company’s other service pivots. In the third-quarter earnings report, it was highlighted that GreenLake saw a remarkable 122% year-over-year increase in orders. Hewlett Packard is forming a Hybrid Cloud Business unit, merging HPE GreenLake with HPE Storage, GreenLake Cloud Services and the CTO team. This will fast-track its hybrid cloud strategy, offering a unified portfolio of storage, software, data and cloud services through HPE GreenLake.
