In the high-speed world of motorsports, data isn’t just numbers—it’s the lifeblood of performance. Brad Jones Racing (BJR), a prominent team in the Supercars Championship, understands this intimately. To safeguard their invaluable data, BJR has teamed up with Extranet Systems, a leading Australian managed service provider, to bolster their backup and data protection strategies.
The Need for Robust Data Protection
Every race weekend, BJR generates a vast amount of data: telemetry, engineering analyses, and race strategies. Losing even a fraction of this information can set the team back significantly. As Brad Jones, the team’s owner, aptly put it, “We have been an Acronis customer for seven years and they have provided such excellent support over that time. The peace of mind and security that they provide is top level and is exactly what a data-heavy race team requires.” (bradjonesracing.com.au)

Their expertise ensures that BJR’s data remains secure, resilient, and accessible whenever needed. Amro Elmasry, Director at Extranet Systems, emphasized the importance of this collaboration: “Cybersecurity is a growing challenge for businesses, and motorsport is no exception. We are proud to collaborate with Acronis by joining its #TeamUp program with Brad Jones Racing.” (bradjonesracing.com.au)
A Proven Track Record
This isn’t the first time Acronis has partnered with a racing team to enhance data protection. Williams Racing, a Formula One team, has also benefited from Acronis’ solutions. In 2018, they announced a strategic technology partnership, integrating Acronis’ data protection solutions to manage their growing data volumes without compromising security. (acronis.com)
The Bigger Picture
The collaboration between BJR and Extranet Systems highlights a broader trend in motorsports: the critical importance of data protection. Teams are increasingly recognizing that robust data management is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. As the digital landscape evolves, ensuring data integrity and security becomes paramount.
In conclusion, BJR’s partnership with Extranet Systems is a strategic move to safeguard their data assets. In the fast-paced world of racing, where every millisecond counts, having reliable data protection isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential.
