McLaren is delighted to announce a multi-faceted, long-term partnership with Dell Technologies, the world’s largest privately-controlled technology company.
Dell Technologies, which consists of seven global brands – Dell, Dell EMC, Pivotal, RSA, Secureworks, Virtustream and VMware – will bring its deep technology expertise to all McLaren Technology Group companies, including McLaren Racing and McLaren Applied Technologies, as well as benefitting McLaren’s esports programme, World’s Fastest Gamer.
The McLaren Technology Group has just completed the first part of its IT transformation journey towards a high-performing hybrid cloud capability. This includes a modern, agile, automated, performant and highly available set of data centre services, using Dell EMC compute, storage, and infrastructure management software.
The partnership will seamlessly integrate Dell Technologies’ wide-ranging platform of solutions into McLaren’s day-to-day operations, including support for design and manufacturing, trackside operations, telemetry, safety-critical ecosystems, storage, esports and simulation, fan engagement and guest experience.
McLaren and Dell Technologies intend to collaborate on future projects in the areas of security, cloud, digital and workplace transformation technologies, with scope for technical innovation not only within the two organisations but also the wider industry.
“McLaren’s agreement with Dell Technologies expands beyond the traditional sponsorship model. We are like-minded organisations led by the key principles of technical innovation and human progress at the cutting-edge of data-driven technology.
“Formula 1 is a relentless environment and partnering with Dell Technologies provides us with class-leading capabilities and support to drive invaluable efficiencies that will enable McLaren to perform at the highest possible level across our entire business operations. We are especially excited about the future possibilities that will arise within McLaren Applied Technologies, an area of our business that is growing fast and offers huge potential.
“This announcement is a further statement that McLaren has strong ambitions as we strive to take an important leap in performance both on-track and off it. Dell Technologies is the perfect partner and our two brands share the same ethos, which will propel us towards our business objectives for 2018 and beyond.”
Jeremy Burton, Chief Marketing Officer, Dell Technologies, commented:
“Dell Technologies’ relationship with McLaren builds upon a shared heritage of innovation, engineering excellence and high performance. Over the past few years, McLaren’s rich history in motorsports has given rise to a more diverse and ambitious organisation that we’re excited to partner with.
“Our partnership is expansive, enabling us to showcase our Dell Technologies portfolio from consumer gaming and esports to the enterprise edge, data centre and cloud.
“We look forward to playing a transformative role within every facet of the McLaren Group, both trackside and at the McLaren Technology Centre. It is the first time we have partnered as Dell Technologies in a global commercial agreement of this nature, and we look forward to a long-term collaboration.

As IP traffic driven by cloud, mobile, IoT, video, gaming and data analytics continues to grow, the need for networks to exchange traffic, or “peer,” is accelerating. IX enables organisations to cater to this digital demand through interconnection with rich ecosystems. At this Equinix-hosted event, attendees will learn more about how Equinix is building a globally consistent Interconnection Fabric by launching Equinix Internet Exchanges in six new European cities, including Dublin.
Maurice Mortell, managing director of Ireland and emerging markets, Equinix; Michael Winterson, vice president, regional business development, Equinix; and Herbert Preuss, global solutions architect, Equinix, will discuss the growing and evolving need for interconnection and why an updated interconnection model is required. They will provide attendees with an introduction to the Equinix IX expansion and also explain how companies can take advantage of the new opportunities offered by this global platform.
Attendees will also have the chance to take part in a peering technical workshop covering a number of topics including Dual IX peering in local metros and the benefits of a campus-peering model.
The seminar will be followed by a reception which will offer excellent networking opportunities with business-owners and industry figures. Equinix executives and a number of Equinix’s Irish-based customers will also be in attendance. Admission to the event is free.
