In a highly technological and hyper-connected world such as the current America's Cup, the flow of information and data exchanged between the various departments acquires a fundamental role, which must be managed and, above all, secured with reliable, efficient, and accurate systems. For this reason, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli has chosen WIIT S.p.A as Cloud and Cyber Security Partner in view of the 37th edition of the Cup (to be held between September and October 2024 in Barcelona, Spain).
WIIT will provide the Italian team with its technological know-how gained in the Cloud Computing market for enterprises, focused on delivering Hybrid Cloud and Hosted Private Cloud services for critical applications.
The partnership with WIIT confirms that Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli's challenge to the 37th America's Cup is not only a competitive and sporting project of global relevance, but also a showcase for the excellence of Made in Italy, capable of attracting leading brands from various sectors that share with the team the values and objectives while increasing their visibility globally.
«The America's Cup is a 360-degree technological and sporting challenge, where nothing can be left to chance», explains Gilberto Nobili, Operations Manager of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli. «To achieve our goal we have to make different activities and projects interact and also coordinate them effectively and securely with a continuous exchange of information. Thanks to the partnership with WIIT we acquire not only the state of the art in the cloud and cyber security world, but also a strong and innovative experience in the IT sector. Having a solid partner in this area-nowadays strategic-is an element of security that allows us to dedicate time and energy to our work, with the confidence that our backs are well covered....».
