Client Profile

Since 1968, Sonoma's Infineon Raceway has served as Northern California's premier motor sports destination. Highlighted by the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NHRA Drag Racing and the IndyCar® Series, the busy facility has events scheduled for 340 days and 50 weekends per year. Infineon Raceway is the only track in the country to host every major form of racing in the United States.

In addition to action on the 12-turn, 2.52-mile road course and quarter-mile drag strip, Infineon Raceway is also home to a 70-tenant motor-sports industrial park, which houses businesses ranging from race teams to body shops to vintage car restoration. The raceway facility also houses a café, souvenir store, deluxe karting facility and the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School.

Speedway Children’s Charities, the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway, is dedicated to raising money for youth organizations in Sonoma County. Since 2002, the charity has distributed more than $2.6 million to more than 150 qualified groups.

Welcome

A great time at Infineon Raceway.

Thank you to all who attended our recent Infineon Raceway social event. You truly made it an enjoyable afternoon for all of us at PlanIT Solutions. We would like to give a special thank you to our partner, Infineon Raceway, for allowing us to host a suite for their exciting AMA Superbike Showdown.

A great time was had by all as we watched high speed motorcycle chases from an amazing vantage point. Infineon’s luxury suites come complete with panoramic views of the North Bay, great food, and air conditioning on hot racing days. We eagerly look forward to next year’s races.

Please check out Infineon’s web site at www.infineonraceway.com for their complete summer events schedule, including NASCAR, NHRA, and Indy Grand Prix racing.

Cloud Computing - Driving the bottom line
How business executives leverage the cloud for competitive advantages

Cloud Computing is the rage; it appears to be a hot new IT solution driven by desires for smart and efficient technologies created to improve productivity and decrease costs. We read about it on the Intet and in nernewspapers and magazines, but what is Cloud Computing beyond just another confusing technology.

There are many questions around Cloud Computing. Should we embrace it or should we be wary? How does it really work? What are the business benefits? What are the savings?? What are the risks? What are the costs?

However, there are at least two certainties: first - Cloud Computing has already arrived in many different forms and second - Cloud Computing will continue to grow in relevance as it is adopted by more and more businesses.

Please join us July 8th or July 9th for the next topic in our Lunch and Learn series: Cloud Computing – Driving the bottom line. We will help you answer questions about Cloud Computing and why it may, or may not, be the right solution for your business.
