Porsche’s Formula E team takes cars to 16 races in a season, and has a 24-hour setup time for events held on city streets with a wide variety of conditions and potential changes to courses.
During races, data is collected from hundreds of telemetry points on electric racing cars, handled and processed in real time during the event, and stored for later access and analysis.
Porsche uses a heavily cloud-based model of working, with hot data cached locally in case of outage and to ensure rapid access, some data in NetApp Ontap flash in the cloud, while cold data is held in Blob storage on Microsoft Azure.
