The latest innovation resulting from this partnership is a virtual data management and insights solution for race analytics
NetApp renews its partnership with Ducati Corse for 2023-2025, becoming their Official Data Infrastructure Partner. The collaboration introduces a virtual data management and insights solution powered by NetApp technology, enhancing race analytics and R&D.
The world of grand prix racing relies heavily on speed. When Ducati Corse found its synchronization times between the racetrack and between engineers across multiple locations, including the Borgo Panigale HQ, was too slow to be effective, they looked to NetApp to help design a new data insights and management solution. Delivering almost real-time data sharing and analytics, NetApp helps tech teams extract maximum value from test and race weekend sessions that can mean the difference between pole position and a starting position down the grid.
