Pedal to the metal: F1 meets bare metal cloud
01.25.2013 By:
The first time I heard the term bare metal cloud, I visualized a race car. Sure, we all know I have F1 on the brain with our sponsorship of the Sahara Force India Formula One Team, but it’s actually a great comparison if you stop and think about it. A race car is designed for [...]

Business planning, as we know it, is finished
10.26.2012 By:
The age of business planning is finished? What? That’s what Forbes’s contributing author Dov Seidman recently suggested, stating that “What business needs now is to journey, to embark on a curvilinear path that eschews quarterly reports and gives room to explore new initiatives… Companies need to compete against former partners, partner with former competitors and [...]
Formula One – Singapore Style

All eyes in the Formula One world will be on Singapore this weekend for the 2012 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix. My F1 insiders tell me that this is truly the most anticipated race of the year.

Six questions to ask when reassessing your IT goals
09.07.2012 By:
Every summer Formula 1 takes a break from the ‘circus’ with a two-week enforced factory shutdown. The teams are not allowed to work in the factory or on the cars. It gives everyone the chance to sit back and relax from the first half of the year. What it also does is give the teams, [...]

Today’s youth steering Formula One cars into the future
06.26.2012 By:
There have been a few occasions in my life where I have been truly and unexpectedly inspired. The other night during the annual Women In Technology (WIT) Connect event held at the Georgia Aquarium was one of them. Hundreds of Georgia’s leading technology executives and up-and-coming professionals gathered in the ballroom to network and participate [...]

When is fast too fast? Speed — it’s in our DNA
06.08.2012 By:
We are now six races into the Formula 1 season and I’m proud to say that I consider myself a rabid fan. Not an expert, nor an analyst, but a solid fan that is slightly despondent when there isn’t a race during the weekend. I’m comfortable discussing constructors, drivers, the 107% rule, and I’m definitely [...]

No compromises: performance and reliability
06.01.2012 By:
A couple of my previous blogs have focused on two key aspects of the sport of Formula 1 racing: testing and teamwork. Both of these points lend themselves to better performance, and F1 is all about performance — but just as important is reliability. Specific manufacturing methods can give an F1 team parts that will [...]

How do you drive your IT?
05.16.2012 By:
Speed, performance, high-tech. Just a few of the things that come to mind when you mention Formula One racing, which we have been heavily involved in since the season started this year. (Go Nico Hülkenberg and Paul Di Resta!) Interestingly though, these same words are synonymous with the demands of IT professionals today across many [...]

What Formula One can teach us about testing, performance and results
05.11.2012 By:
Motorsport teams, especially Formula 1, test their cars and equipment as much as they can. Why do the teams test? They do this so they can bring the best possible combination of parts and strategies to the race. Over the past few days, all of the F1 teams have been allowed to bring their cars [...]

Accelerating ahead of the competition with F1 and XIP technology: Part two
04.10.2012 By:

In part two, I’ll write about another technological tool that F1 teams have at their disposal when competing: KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). KERS is a system to [...]

Accelerating ahead of the competition with F1 and XIP technology: Part one
04.06.2012 By:
I’ve been a Formula 1 fan for years, attending my first F1 event in 1986 at the inaugural Hungarian Grand Prix. The small trek from the buses to the track was worth it when I was able to sit on the hillside and see, hear, and almost as importantly, feel the cars as they passed [...]

Sahara Force India and Internap: A match made in performance heaven
03.15.2012 By:
Formula One has intense fans. Fans who wrap themselves in the flags of their countries and favorite teams. Fans who immediately recognize a particular driver by his helmet design – sometimes the only way to tell. Fans who turn up the volume on their TVs at the beginning of every race to hear the scream [...]
