RaceTrac upgrades servers to modernize operations

The retailer has teamed up with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to enhance the customer experience across its retail network.

RaceTrac is collaborating with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to modernize and deliver a consistent experience for its customers across its network of over 800 stores.

Both companies work together to achieve the retailer’s business goals with HPE compute at the foundation. HPE ProLiant servers were implemented in every RaceTrac store to deliver reliability, security, and optimized performance for a range of applications.

The chain also relies on HPE Alletra Storage, a cloud-native data infrastructure, to improve ease of use and increase operational efficiency.

“The average time spent by a RaceTrac customer is approximately two and a half minutes, and our goal is to offer a frictionless experience during every visit,” said Tyler Grubbs, executive director, Store Systems and Technologies, at RaceTrac.

RaceTrac’s new compute environment supports workloads that are critical to enhancing the customer experience, including self-pumping gas stations, credit card and payment processing, and a customer loyalty platform.
