Brawn GP and NCE extend partnership

Brawn GP is pleased to announce the extension of its team supplier partnership with IT Storage and Virtualisation specialist NCE. One of the leading names in the data storage industry, NCE joined the team for the 2006 season and introduced a Data Storage Solution offering the scalability and centralised storage management which is fundamental for the Computer Aided Design CAD and Computer Aided Manufacture CAM applications used in the design of the team’s Formula One cars.

Ross Brawn, Team Principal of Brawn GP said: “We are very pleased to have extended our relationship with NCE this year. Having effective and reliable data storage is essential to a Formula One team’s operations and we have seen a great deal of benefit from partnering with one of the best providers in the business over the past three years.”

Jim Raven, Chief Executive Officer of NCE commented: “NCE view our relationship with the Brawn GP team as very strategic and the work that has taken place behind the scenes during the first few months of 2009 has contributed to the team’s on-track success. The Storage and Virtualisation architecture that NCE have provided is paramount to the day-to-day IT operations that underpin the team’s development. We look forward to continuing to develop our close working relationship with Brawn GP in the months ahead.”
