Cloud Acceleration: Flexible and sustainable solutions in dynamic environments, coming 30 March 2023.

There can be few business environments more reliant on a robust yet flexible IT infrastructure as gambling, especially around the major sporting events. However a Formula 1 racing team will experience exactly those pressures and more, so what can the gambling industry learn from the world’s most popular motor racing sport.

The latest episode of the Cloud Acceleration series features a former IT specialist from F1 teams Mercedes-AMG Petronas and Red Bull Racing sharing some of that experience and highlighting the ideas that the igaming professionals can implement themselves.

While the Cloud can power F1 teams and igaming operations alike, it also brings advantages around sustainability, flexibility and efficiency, providing greater visibility around IT infrastructure costs.

SBC, Computacenter and Pure Storage have teamed up to provide a webinar that will provide igaming firms with the insight to transform their IT infrastructure in a simple, cost-effective and sustainable way, without impinging on performance.

We hope to see you for Episode 4 at 16:00 BST/11am ET on our new airing date Thursday 30 March.
