How SATABeast Helps Honda Stay Ahead

Being a winner is something that holds no mystery for Honda. A pedigree that boasts a remarkable 71 Grand Prix victories and 11 FIA Formula One World Championships — six Constructors' and five Drivers' titles — bears ample witness to the company's prowess on what is one of the world's toughest sporting stages.

And whilst world-beaters, no matter how outstanding, cannot expect to stay at the top forever, the ultimate measure of their success is how hard they are prepared to battle to regain their crown. Honda demonstrated its commitment to returning to the pinnacle of motorsport by becoming the 100% owner of the Honda Racing F1 Team at the beginning of the year, clearly stating its ambitions to win in Formula One again.

As part of its commitment to harnessing groundbreaking technologies that will help to squeeze every last drop of extra performance from its cars, the Honda Racing F1 Team has chosen Nexsan's SATABeast - a high-capacity Serial ATA-based storage system - as the power behind its data storage strategy. Working with channel partner NCE Computer Group on SATABeast's deployment, Nexsan has so far provided 14TB of raw disk storage capacity, in the form of 28 500GB SATA drives, integrated into the SATABeast architecture.
