The 4-year partnership with EMC was created to spearhead the Team's development program for its 2014 car and will see Lotus F1 Team adopt a range of EMC's private cloud technologies, enabling more agile and cost-efficient storage, management and protection of information.

In a sport where hundredths of a second mark the difference between a victor and the rest of the pack, the ability to collect, make readily available in a cloud-like manner and quickly analyze these massive amounts of Big Data has emerged as a key competitive differentiator. Jeremy Burton, Global President Products and Marketing for EMC  talks about technologies that can help businesses - from racing cars to governments, hospitals and healthcare institutes to redefine.
