The Solution
CIS and its technology partner Infortrend provided an easy to expand storage system that encompassed advanced data protection features to provide high availability of Force India’s data.
CIS was conscious that the solution needed to be comprehensive and ahead of the standard offerings and needed to meet a specific price point.
The team demands that costs be kept to the absolute minimum, since every penny saved can be spent on
further development of their Formula 1 racing cars.
CIS installed a server, network storage (SAN) and backup solution using the latest fibre technology. It provides Force India with the flexible date storage they require, within the restraints of fixed budgets and with no large ongoing licencing or maintenance costs.
