Speedboats race with the cloud

The founder of a powerboat racing business is looking to use the cloud to track the company boat’s performance during offshore races and keep fans and racing officials updated with animated race visualizations.

“It really pushes the envelope…, being able to develop [a cloud technology] quickly and having a robustness of coverage during an event,” said Nigel Hook, co-founder and president of San Diego-based SilverHook Powerboats. “We want to do things that would not be possible without the cloud.”
