Formula E is a data-centric championship and given the limited opportunities for practice, finding additional insight is key to maximising on performance.
As such, the data that we collect week in, week out, on track and in the simulator is crucial when informing our understanding.
By understanding the meaning of data, we can release previously untapped potential and this can translate to on-track results by uncovering performance.
Data can, quite literally, define our direction and it has become a contemporary commodity and our currency. As such, protecting it is key.
With the help and services of Acronis, our data is secure and as Ronan McCurtin, Regional VP, Northern Europe, explains this is performed with a completely bespoke and focussed approach to cybersecurity:
“Acronis provides fast, efficient, and secure cyber protection for all data, applications, and systems,” he said.
“Acronis’ unique and proven approach is centred around the Five Vectors of Cyber Protection: ensuring the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security [SAPAS] of every workload.
“What this means is that Acronis cyber protection solutions – which integrate backup and cybersecurity in one – are designed to provide the highest standards of protection, keeping data safe and private, while simultaneously allowing it to be easily accessed by authorised parties.
“Data is also defended against cyberattacks with AI-enhanced technologies, and blockchain-based notarization ensures the user’s files are authentic, tamper-free, and therefore safe to use.”
Alongside protection, Acronis provides us with the right tools for the job, and with this support, we are able to maintain our competitive edge in Formula E’s fast-paced and ever-evolving environment.
“Having access to the right data at the right time is vital for any motorsport team as unexpected events can and often do happen,” he continued.
“A broken computer or failed hard drive can spell disaster at a race track. Being able to access the data when you need it is critical for elite motorsport teams, since the difference between winning and losing is measured in milliseconds.
“Acronis’ approach to cyber protection is more than ensuring data can be recovered from a backup file – it actively protects workloads from cyberattacks, keeps data authentic, and guarantees access to data when the team needs it.
“With Acronis’ globally dispersed secure cloud infrastructure, ROKiT Venturi Racing can access data at any time from anywhere in the world, which streamlines the team’s business, engineering, and racing operations.”
Because we are able to access the information we need immediately, we are presented with a competitive advantage against our rivals amidst Formula E’s technology race.
“Motorsport is a competition unlike many others because it is basically a battle of technological advancement,” added McCurtin. “In Formula E, that tech war is fought in the fields of battery and software development.
“Technology provides the competitive edge – and that means a team’s data is everything because it is the key to your next race, your next car, and your next season.
“The comprehensive approach of Acronis cyber protection solutions ensures the safety, accessibility, privacy, authenticity, and security for sports’ data – which safeguards the team’s future and helps maximise its potential.”
